Lincoln Memorial Sunrise Surprise Proposal
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!

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.
