Salubria Virginia | Photoshoot Locations

Salubria Virginia is one of the most romantic locations for a photoshoot in the Washington DC and Northern VA area. Salubria is an 18th century Georgian-style manor located in Stevensburg, Virginia, not a far drive from Washington DC. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so it speaks to my old-world heart!

I list it as one of my favorite locations for a photoshoot in the DC area because although barren, Salubria offers a European flair for your session. It is actually one of the only indoor locations I recommend. The inside has romantic tall windows, so there is plenty of light for an afternoon session.

The manor appears rather rustic from the outside, almost resembling a manor in romantic ruins. The inside is empty and does not have any furniture. This creates a clean palette for your session.

However, don’t let this stop you from having your dream session at Salubria! Perfect for a maternity or motherhood session, Salubria’s French blue walls will take out back to the 18th century and allow for an ethereal feel. I adore the simplicity of it, actually! You can also choose to incorporate some rental pieces or florals to accent your session. The tall windows allow ample light to flow in, creating a heavenly glow.

Plan your old-world session at Salubria Virginia…

Salubria does require a permit, but the permit provides you access to the property for two hours. You don’t need to worry about other people or crowds.

I loved the opportunity to play with directional light below in one of the western-facing rooms.

For this romantic maternity session at Salubria Virginia, the expecting mother wore a stunning gown. We chose to keep the focus on her, so we did not include any extra florals or rentals. And look how gorgeous it turned out!

I hope you consider Salubria in Virginia for your maternity or motherhood session!
