After photography over 500 surprise proposal in Washington DC over the years at many locations, I can say that the Lincoln Memorial is definitely the most popular location! The view from inside the columns is one of the best views of DC! The iconic view gives you the perfect shot of the Reflecting Pool, Washington Monument, and US Capitol while being framed by the columns of the Lincoln! This shot can be challenging to get when the area is busy with tourist! Weekdays or early morning times are always strongly recommended!
