Springtime is fully here which means we are in the thick of capturing engagement photos for our amazing 2024 couples. Today, we’re showcasing Lisa and Brett’s romantic and fun engagement shoot in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia.

We met up with Lisa and Brett for drinks at the whiskey bar, Rebellion, to trade stories and catch up on life before we walked through the many charming corners of downtown Fredericksburg to take photos. They’ve spent a lot of their dating relationship in this town and it was so fun to explore it with them. We even stopped in for some coffee and an outfit change at their favorite coffee shop, Agora Downtown Coffee Shop & Roastery. We ended up at sunset along the Rappahannock River at City Dock Park for the perfect conclusion. Lisa and Brett were so full of laughter and love from start to finish. We can’t wait to photograph their downtown Fredericksburg wedding at Woolen Mill later this year!

If you’re a couple planning your wedding in Fredericksburg or searching for the perfect urban location for your engagement photos, look no further. We love the historic charm and the vibrant streets of Fredericksburg that serve as a perfect dynamic backdrop for engagement portraits.
