Old Town Alexandria Engagement Photographer | Kelly & Drew

I know I say this all the time, but I have some seriously amazing couples -- each of them are unique in their own way and it's fun learning about what sets them apart. Kelly and Drew are definitely no exception to this because I think these two might win the award out of all my couples of "who has been together the longest".

See, Kelly and Drew have known each other their whole lives; they started dating all the way back in high school! They took some time apart in college to learn a bit about themselves, as Kelly was a few hours away at VCU while Drew studied at GMU. The distance was hard, but in the end they came back to one another which is how you know it was truly meant to be. These two now live in Centreville where they are saving up to buy their first home together! Their wedding is next October at Airlie Center -- one of my all time favorite places to shoot! To say I'm excited would be a major understatement :) :)

Side note: Tomorrow I'm going to be posting another awesome engagement session, this time at JMU with a 2015 couple: Sam & Matt. You're probably like, "okay, Alicia, why are you mentioning this?" Well. Sam and Kelly are actually very close friends!! They are part of a group of 6 couples that are all getting married in 2015. And I am lucky enough to be shooting both their weddings -- how cool is that!? 2015 is going to be a GREAT year!
