Washington DC Event Photographer - DC Pride Parade
This year our team captured Marriott International and their presence at The Capital Pride Parade in Washington DC! Marriott associates and Marriott Bonvoy Members marched along local non-profit Casa Ruby to celebrate pride. This was our 5th year capturing this event for our client! The parade started in The Dupont Circle area and continued on until it ended on 14th street. For corporate events we make sure to capture all branding, and showcase the experience that attendees had. Quick delivery of images is also important so the client can use images for social media and press releases. For this specific event we showcased Marriott’s #LoveTravels campaign to convey the company's inclusion and celebration of the LGBT community.
Our images that we provided within hours of the event were used in a social media post on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram to gain impressions for our client!

After the ceremony we captured more portraits before heading to The Capital Elite Yacht for the reception along The Potomac! Guest enjoy the best views of DC dinner dinner, speeches, the first dance and celebrations. The yacht sailed at sunset and made it’s way back to The Wharf dock area.

LOVE Park
Love Park officially know as John F. Kennedy Plaza is near City Hall in City Center Philadelphia. The park is nickname Love Park for it’s iconic sculpture. The sculpture is a great backdrop for a proposal and park area and City Hall just steps away make for great portrait locations! The park can be busy with tourist at times especially around the sculpture so planning for proposing during less busy times of day is ideal!
Independence Hall
This makes for great historical backdrop! There is plenty of grass area and pathways in front of Independence Hall to use. Independence Hall is the building where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and adopted. There are park areas nearby that can be used for portraits afterwards. This spot works great to plan your proposal before or after a tour if you are visiting from out of town.

Rittenhouse Square is a one block park that is a bit less touristy then the first two options. Especially during springtime this makes for a beautiful backdrop for a proposal or engagement. On occasion there can be markets or festivals happening in the park so be sure to look up to make sure no events conflict with your plans!

Washington DC Reflecting Pool Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
The Reflecting Pool is an iconic spot for a surprise proposal with a DC view! The steps of The Lincoln Memorial can be crowded at times with tourist so by proposing in front of The Reflecting Pool you get a similar view of The Washington Monument without tourist behind you since no one will be in the water! If you propose off to the side slightly you can also get a view of The Capital Building peeking out from behind the monument. If you’re more centered The Washington Monument would hide The Capital. After the proposal you can get some great shots with The Lincoln behind you. During Cherry Blossom peak bloom you can also walk a little bit to get some shots with the trees! Lots of options within a small walking distance. Get in touch to learn more about planning a surprise proposal in the Washington DC area!

Georgetown University Fall Engagement Session
When choosing an engagement session location it’s always a great idea to consider locations that have meaning to you as a couple! Perhaps a place where you first met, a frequent date location, the location where you first said “I love you”, or the surprise proposal location! For this engagement session I shot at Georgetown University where this couple first met. Earlier in the year I had captured the surprise proposal at the Georgetown Waterfront and I am excited to be capturing wedding day coming soon in New Jersey! Once wedding day comes it will be my third time photographing Bryan & Carla! It’s always an honor to work with a couple through the proposal to the engagement session and all the way to wedding day! By working with the same photographer you can build that relationship and trust to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. You also get the same constant photography style for all your images.

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!

Reston Virginia Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
The Plaza America shopping center in Reston, Virginia was right near a restaurant that this couple frequented. This backdrop and small park area nearby made a great spot for a surprise proposal with very few people around!

Surprise Proposal Photography at The Cherry Blossom Festival
Every spring Washington DC celebrates The National Cherry Blossom Festival at The Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial! The annual 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. Many couples choose the Cherry Blossoms as the perfect time to plan their surprise marriage proposal or engagement session but there are some things to keep in mind!
Dealing with tourist and large crowds: The Cherry Blossom Festival attracts many tourist! So avoiding the busiest times will be beneficial to make sure there is space to get photos without people in them. Sunrise sessions are highly recommended as there are not many tourist out just after sunrise. The later in the day the busier it gets. Going on weekdays instead of weekends is also helpful! During your session we can stop by some of the lower traffic locations to get shots without tourist in them.
Peak Bloom: many clients like to have their photos during peak bloom! Peak bloom happens when 70% or more of the cherry trees blossoms are out. The peak bloom may only last for a few days but the week before or after the bloom will still have many trees in bloom. Peak bloom can be hard to predict especially if you are coming from out of town on a planned trip. If you are flexible on dates, I am happy to be flexible in planning spur of the moment to go during peak bloom for photography sessions! You can read more about peak bloom and up to date predictions on cherryblossomwatch.com. Peak bloom depends on the years rainfall and temperature.
Transportation: As The Cherry Blossom festival attracts thousands of tourist it is recommended to use transportation such as Uber or Metro instead of driving as parking is limited! Metered Parking may be available if you are planning a sunrise session.
Other Locations: Aside from The Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial there are other locations around Washington DC that also have Cherry Blossoms. The National Arboretum and grounds at The Capital also have Cherry Blossoms and other great views. Ask about other locations when planning.
Some shots along the pathways around the Tidal Basin! The Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial are ideal locations for Cherry Blossoms!
The Lincoln Memorial is a great spot to propose with a view of The Washington Monument! After the proposal you can walk nearby for Cherry Blossom photos!
