However, Megan and Kyle\u00a0insisted that we do the session as scheduled. If it rained, they already had few indoor locations as backups. I prayed that it would not rain, since there were so many interesting places outdoor at Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Fortunately, it did not rain that day. We felt so blessed. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>We started from King Street, by the Metro station, and walked all the way to the harbor. Lucky for me, they had already spent about 2 hours the day before, picking out spots that had interesting backgrounds or settings. They even had wrote down a list\u00a0in case\u00a0they forgot where else to go. \ud83d\ude42 It sure made the session easier for me, we didn&#8217;t have to waste time finding locations.\u00a0 I also made few suggestions if I saw interesting spots along the way.<\/p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0010.jpg\" alt=\"engagement session alexandria virginia arlington county\" \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0011.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0019.jpg\" alt=\"engagement ring photo session alexandria virginia arlington county washington dc metro area\" \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0021.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy that we like the same kind of backgrounds like red doors (or other colored doors) and brightly colored walls.<\/p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0033.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0036.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Megan-Kyle-Engagement-0042-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<p>Megan and Kyle didn&#8217;t need much direction from me.
