TOP WATERFRONT LOCATION FOR PHOTOS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Location: Jones Point Park in Alexandria, Virginia

Why I love it for photo sessions: Jones Point Park is located just south of Old Town Alexandria on the Potomac River. It includes a lighthouse built in 1855, trails through the woods, an open field, and waterfront views. It’s ideal if you want nature, architecture, and photos by the water. It’s also much quieter than Old Town Alexandria.

Best time to take photos here: This location is beautiful at sunrise or the last few hours before sunset. Golden hour offers the most flattering light, and my goodness it makes the views even more stunning! In the morning, the sun rises over the water so sunrise is best if you want to highlight those views. At sunset, it sets behind the trees.
