Old Town Alexandria Waterfront Engagement Session
Old Town Alexandria is a popular engagement session location that has a lot to offer! The waterfront, boats, cobblestone pathways, and Wilkes Street Tunnel are all great spots to stop by for photos. This also makes it a popular wedding location with many venues in the area. During the winter Old Town also has holiday lights along the streets for extra decor. This session was during mid November where it was not yet too cold for outdoor photos. We stopped by some of my favorite locations:

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 Constitution Gardens Winter Surprise Proposal
Constitution Gardens in Washington DC is located between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial on part of The Mall. It’s a small piece of land surrounded by a pond that is accessible by a small wooden bridge. It makes a great proposal location for a perfect unobtrusive view of The Washington Monument in the background. The location is very private and normally has few tourist in the area as many of the tourist spend time at the nearby memorials. This makes for the perfect location that includes the view of the monuments without the large crowds of tourist. This spot also commonly has ducks and lots of greenery surrounding.
After the proposal moment some friends rushed over to congratulate the newly engaged couple! Capturing the reactions of the friends was also a great moment! Including friends or family after your surprise proposal is a great way to have a second surprise and get photos with those friends and family members as well as more great reaction shots!
