A Spectacular Springtime Anniversary Session at Burnside Farms with Anne & Elijah
Luxury Wedding & Anniversary Photography in Washington, DC and the DMV
As a luxury wedding photographer serving Washington, DC and the greater DMV area, I have the joy of witnessing timeless love stories unfold—sometimes years after the vows have been exchanged. Anne and Elijah’s anniversary session at the breathtaking Burnside Farms in Nokesville, Virginia, was a stunning celebration of their enduring love, set amidst the vibrant bloom of spring tulips and rolling hills.
Nestled just under an hour from DC, Burnside Farms is one of Northern Virginia’s best-kept secrets. In springtime, its sprawling fields explode into a painterly scene of colorful tulips that rival the gardens of Europe. With rows upon rows of blossoms in full bloom, it was the perfect romantic backdrop for Anne and Elijah’s session. The soft petals and golden-hour light gave the images a dreamlike quality—elegant, ethereal, and utterly timeless.
Celebrating their third wedding anniversary, Anne and Elijah wanted to mark this chapter of their journey in a way that felt both meaningful and beautiful. From the moment they arrived, hand-in-hand and glowing with joy, it was clear that their love had only grown deeper over the years.
Anne wore a flowing ivory dress that danced in the spring breeze, while Elijah’s classic navy suit brought a grounded sophistication to the look. We wandered through the tulip fields at golden hour, the sun setting behind the blooms, creating a luminous halo of light around them. Their laughter, quiet moments, and the way they looked at each other—still full of awe—told a story more poetic than words.
Anniversary sessions are a beautiful way to reflect on the life you’ve built together. Whether it’s your first year or your fiftieth, taking time to document your love allows you to reconnect, celebrate, and create heirlooms for generations to come. At Burnside Farms, surrounded by nature’s own celebration of renewal, Anne and Elijah’s anniversary session felt like a gentle reminder: love, like spring, always blooms again.
If you’re dreaming of a romantic anniversary session in the Washington, DC area—or anywhere across Northern Virginia and Maryland—springtime offers an extraordinary canvas. Burnside Farms is ideal for couples seeking an elevated yet natural setting, especially during their annual Festival of Spring.
As a photographer who specializes in romantic, fine art imagery with a touch of old-world charm, I work closely with each couple to create a tailored experience that feels authentic and unforgettable. From wardrobe guidance to choosing the perfect time of day for that ethereal backlit glow (Even of this rainy, cloudy day) every detail is designed to bring your love story to life in an artful way.
