Wedding Picture sites around Chantilly

mabefr

Getting married Sept 25th.  The ceremony is in Springfield, VA and the reception at Westfields Marriott in Chantilly.  Should have about 2.5 hours between the two for bridal party pictures.  That includes getting back Chantilly.  We're hoping to have enough time, but looking for backup sites just in case.  We thought Old Town was the closest place to get "city" pictures - with the older brick buildings, etc.  We'll take the traditional bridal party pics at the church.  But we're going for more photojournalistic ones in Old Town.

Anyone have suggestions for a back up picture site??  Something around Springfield or anywhere "on the way" to Chantilly?

What about the city of Fairfax.  If you are going up the FFX pkwy towards Chantilly anyways, FFX is more on the way than Alexandria.  And there are some areas that have older brick buildings.

Thanks.  I'll have to drive around there.  The plan is to go up the FFX County Parkway (trying to avoid 495/66) so something along there would be better.  I know there are alot of parks along the parkway too.  maybe they have interesting picture opportunities.

Burke Lake Park should be available.

Thanks for the suggestions.  We drove around Burke Lake Park but don't think that will work for photos.  We also drove around Fairfax City and there *may* be something there. 

We're still keeping an eye out for places if anyone else has any ideas of locations between Springfield and Chantilly (by FFX County Parkway route).
