Washington DC Tidal Basin Cherry Blossom Engagement Session

Many couples choose The National Cherry Blossom Festival at The Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial as an option for engagement sessions and surprise proposals in Washington DC! The blossoms reach peak bloom each year sometime between late March through early April. The festival celebrates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry trees from the mayor of Tokyo to the city of Washington DC and honoring the friendship between The United States and Japan. Today the festival last about four weekends and attracts about 1.5 million tourist. The blossoms can be seen around The Tidal Basin, Jefferson Memorial, MLK Memorial, and many other areas. The best time to schedule a session is sunrise when you will find the least amount of tourist. Mostly there are just photographers and runners out at this time!

By scheduling a sunrise session we can get some cool shots with off camera lighting like the first few photos in this post. This will give some variety in your images. At this time The Jefferson Memorial was so empty we were able to get some wide shots without anyone else in them!

Reviews

“Jon shot a surprise engagement for us at cherry blossoms up in DC. His efforts were outstanding. Throughout the process (3 months) we kept in contact with him always responding quickly. Jon arrived extremely early the day of the engagement which was good because we got there early as well. Jon knew exactly where he wanted to take pictures but also asked us several times if we had any requests. He sent us a few pictures the same day and we got the full album in less than a week. I highly recommend him.”

Washington DC Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session at Georgetown Waterfront

A Georgetown Waterfront surprise proposal and engagement session! Georgetown is one of my favorite locations for surprise proposal and engagement photography since it offers so much between the park, waterfront area, urban area, bridges, and the Georgetown canal. This proposal took place at the waterfront! Afterwards we walked by some of the best spots for portraits including the restaurant where this couple went one one of their first dates! Picking a location that has meaning is a great ideal when planning a surprise proposal! The bridge that goes over the canal is also a great spot to go for portraits.

Georgetown Waterfront Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session

I photographed this proposal just before sunset at The Georgetown Waterfront along the wooden pathway that runs by the water. It was the perfect shot capturing the presentation of the ring and ring being placed on the finger for the first time! After the surprise proposal we captured additional portraits after sunset. I love photographing couples at night with off camera flash and getting creative with lighting! Here are some of my favorite images! I am excited to be capturing this couples wedding in 2019! Always a pleasure when I get to photograph a couples love story from the surprise proposal to the wedding day.
