The Woodlands at Algonkian wedding days always feel like something out of a dream. This beautiful venue in Sterling, Virginia, is surrounded by towering trees and sits right along the Potomac River. It’s the kind of place that makes outdoor ceremonies feel extra special. The mix of nature, peaceful trails, and elegant event spaces makes it one of our favorite places to photograph. We always love how the setting lets couples have both a classic and natural feel in their wedding photos.
Grace and Andrew’s story fits this setting so well. They met through mutual friends in college and quickly bonded over their shared love for hiking, weekend getaways, and exploring new restaurants together. Over the years, their relationship grew through countless small adventures and cozy nights in. When it came time to celebrate their wedding, an outdoor ceremony felt like the perfect way to honor their connection to nature and each other. Their wedding style reflected their personalities simple, warm, and filled with joy.
