Jefferson Memorial Surprise Proposal

The Jefferson Memorial is also a popular spot when the cherry blossoms reach peak bloom in the surrounding area around March/April every year! Consider going early in the morning to avoid the peak tourist times!

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.”

Jefferson Memorial Tidal Basin Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
The Jefferson Memorial is always an iconic location for a surprise proposal in Washington DC. In front of The Tidal Basin is a great spot with a view of The Washington Monument. By proposing in front of The Tidal Basin you can avoid larger crowds of tourist. After the surprise marriage proposal we walked to the sides of the memorial to capture portraits. Congratulations to Joe and Allison on their engagement!

Jefferson Memorial Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
The Jefferson Memorial is always an iconic location for a surprise proposal not only during The Cherry Blossoms but year around! For this proposal I captured the moment from inside the columns with the view of The Washington Monument in the background! The sides of the memorial always work great as there are less tourist then in the center or on the steps of the memorial. We did some portraits around the backside and down in front with The Tidal Basin after the proposal and of course a ring shot! The Jefferson Memorial honors our countries third president and over looks that Tidal Basin which is surrounded by the cherry trees gifted by Japan. The cherry trees bloom once a year for a short period. The peak bloom is a very popular time for photography in the DC area!

Washington DC Cherry Blossom Jefferson Memorial Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
One of my favorite times of the year in Washington DC is when The Cherry Blossoms are in full peak. So many photographers, couples, and tourist flock to The Tidal Basin area for photos of the blossoms. This year I captured several surprise proposals and engagement sessions at The Cherry Blossoms, this one on one of the busiest days where the weather was perfect! With so many people out we got lucky with no one in the surprise proposal shot! Afterwards I got creative to capture portraits without tourist in them. By walking around to less busy spots and shooting creatively I was able to get some awesome shots!
Thank you for this amazing testimonial!

Washington DC Jefferson Memorial Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
In front of The Jefferson Memorial is a great spot to propose with an amazing view of The Washington Monument behind you! Congratulations to another newly engaged couple! Love capturing all these images. We had a little snow left over from earlier in the week! My overall favorite image from this session is the silhouette with the ring and monument in the background. Each time I photograph at the memorials I am always looking for a new creative angle.
Washington DC National Mall & Tidal Basin Engagement Session
I always love taking my clients to The National Mall & Tidal Basin for engagement sessions. The National Mall & all The Memorials is always a popular location for surprise proposals and engagement sessions. Each time I make a trip here for a session I love having the challenge of creating new images in the same locations. This was a session right after a surprise proposal on the steps of The Jefferson Memorial. Walking around the Tidal Basin we found many great spots for portraits without tourist in the way.
Jefferson Memorial Fall Surprise Proposal
I always love capturing surprise proposals at the memorials. The Jefferson Memorial is a great location to propose as it is normally not as crowded as The Lincoln Memorial. The surrounding Tidal Basin is always great for portraits and their is a perfect view of The Washington Monument!
Jefferson Memorial Winter Engagement Session | Van Dyck Park Engagement Session in Fairfax | Washington DC LGBT Engagement Photographer
I met with Chris and Lisa at Van Dyck Park in Fairfax, Virginia to start off their engagement session! This park was one of the first spots they met for a date after they first met at their community church. I enjoyed recreating their first date walking around the park capturing special moments at different locations. Afterwords we headed to DC for The Jefferson Memorial, this newly engaged couples favorite of all the DC monuments. Here are my favorites from their session!
