Photographer Helena Woods took this dog-friendly engagement portraits in Old Town, Alexandria. Naturally, the couple wanted to include their dogs, Piper, the Sheltie, and Oliver, the toy Australian Shepherd. If you’ve never been to Old Town, Alexandria, I hope one day you’ll get to visit it. It is full of charming shops and brick sidewalks and is quite dog-friendly.
From Helena: “Hattie and Bay wanted their engagement portrait session with their two sweet and very-loved dogs, and the pups were so precious, and the couple showed them so much love in the photographs. The session was in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia, at the historic Carlyle House.”
From Hattie: “Piper is a Sheltie. She is ten years young. 
Her hobbies include eating, modeling, and lazy afternoons on the sofa.
Oliver is a ball of energy and can be mischievous if left alone too long.” 
I love how your couples like to include their pets. This must have been fun!
What beautiful pictures and those dogs!! Loving all your pictures.
I love the one dog’s crazy eye! LOL. Such cute little flufferbutts. I love your posts so much <3

Gah! I need to find a location like that. What a fun setting for an engagement shoot. I guess I have to go do a little urban exploration here in Spokane.
These photos are stunning. I love when people include their pets in engagement photos. Lovely story. Thanks for sharing this!
