Potomac Engagement Photos

These Potomac engagement photos didn’t turn out exactly as I expected, they turned out better! This couple is from Maryland and very active outdoors. They knew lots of great spots that were hidden but easy access. Like this spot! A hike that is right in all of our backyards, just outside of DC. The location is near a horse stable where the bride’s mother keeps a horse. Just hearing her talk about this location sounded like magic. The bride mentioned there is a forest where she goes trail running that leads to a stream. In addition to those two spots, there is also a wide-open field to get some amazing sunset photos. You can see for yourself how the photos turned out!

It should be mentioned that timing is key to all of these locations. The first spot was deep in the forest, where the light barely made it. As we hike deep into the trail it just keeps getting darker. By the time we are at our destination, I’m wondering if we can shoot film! Fortunately we started the photoshoot early enough where we were able to find a few sunbeams of light. This contrast of dark to light made for some really ethereal photos of light rays among dense trees. 

After that spot, we made it over to the horse barn to take some equine inspired photos. It was more open than the forest, but still shady enough to make sure we get even lighting across faces. I loved the barn and the horse, so we were two for two. 

Finally, the last spot is the open field. An open field in Potomac for engagement photos doesn’t seem like it would be anything impressive, but I’m in love. Just on the side of the road, with glowing fields.
