Engagement Photos at the Spanish Steps in Washington, DC
The Spanish Steps in Washington D.C. are not to be confused with the famous Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy. The Spanish Steps in D.C. are a popular landmark located in the Kalorama neighborhood, just off Massachusetts Avenue NW. These steps are actually a staircase that connects Decatur Place NW and S Street NW.
While not as famous as the Spanish Steps in Rome, the Spanish Steps in D.C. still attract visitors and locals alike who appreciate their historical significance and the picturesque surroundings. They are often used as a backdrop for photoshoots and are a peaceful spot for residents to sit and relax. Check out this recent engagement session at the Spanish Steps in DC!

Lincoln Memorial DC Engagement Session
After Surmeet’s surprise proposal at the bar they first met at in DC earlier in the week, we scheduled an engagement session at The Lincoln Memorial for additional photos! The Lincoln Memorial is one of my favorite monuments in DC for engagement photos! Plenty of options and spots to visit including the columns, the view from the columns, The Reflecting Pool, plus trees and grassy areas nearby! My favorite shot is where we started in between the columns with the iconic DC view of The Reflecting Pool, followed by the Washington Monument and Capitol Building. Consider an early morning sunrise session for the best time of day to go to avoid tourists! A sunrise session is also a great idea during the summer to avoid the heat!
Aside from engagement and other sessions, the Lincoln is also a popular spot for surprise proposals! If you’re interested in scheduling a session, reach out today to learn more! I’m happy to help you plan for your session.

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.

National Gallery of Art Engagement Session | Washington DC Engagement Session
I have always wanted to capture an engagement session at The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The Gallery is one of the few museums in DC where you can get away with indoor engagement sessions without a permit. The Gallery of Art is location next to The National Mall along Constitution Avenue between 3rd and 9th street. It consist of 2 separate buildings that connect underground. The museum is open year around to the public free of charge. I met with Will & Anna in the late afternoon/early evening and we started their session inside! It was a pleasure to get to know them as I got them comfortable in front of my camera. I am so excited for their 2016 wedding!
After an outfit change into a more causal outfit we walked through The National Sculpture Garden before they closed at 7pm. The gardens are located just off the National Mall between the National Gallery of Art's west building and The National Museum of Natural History.
