The Lincoln Memorial is a popular option for a surprise proposal in DC, and for good reason! The view from in between the columns is breath taking!

Sunrise is the best time for photography and a proposal at The Lincoln! Here are 3 reasons why:

1) Less Tourist: At sunrise you’ll find the least amount of tourist! Getting a photo without tourist in it can be challenging on an afternoon during a popular weekend in the summer when tourist season is the highest!

2) Avoid the heat: Specifically during the summer months, you can avoid the heat of the afternoon by proposing in the morning when then temperature could be 20 degrees cooler!

3) Best Light: The light is most ideal during the early morning time as the sun rises to the left behind the Washington Monument!
