Lincoln Memorial Surprise Proposals

 

Proposing at the Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is an iconic location for a surprise proposal in Washington, DC! It is one of the most commonly requested locations! We have photographed over 50 surprise proposals at the Lincoln at all times of day and different times of the year! This post will give you some tips to keep in mind when planning a surprise proposal at the Lincoln Memorial!

What is the best time to propose at The Lincoln Memorial?

DC Proposal Photographer

The absolute best time is sunrise on a weekday. This is the time with the least amount of tourist. In general, weekdays and early morning tend to be less crowded. Early morning is also great for easy parking and great light! We have photographed proposals at other times as well and are happy to provide tips on avoiding tourist or getting the best shot when it’s busier

Where should I propose at the Lincoln?

The most popular spot is in between the columns with the view of the Reflecting Pool, Washington Monument, and US Capitol. Two other great areas are the grass on the sides of the Lincoln and in front of the Reflecting Pool. We provide our clients detailed directions and instructions upon booking.

What happens if it rains?

If it rains on your proposal date, you will be covered under the columns of the Lincoln. It’s best to take a ride share and bring an umbrella to keep you dry as you walk up. If you are flexible on the date, we can reschedule.

Check for large events:

When planning a proposal at the Lincoln, be sure to check for large scheduled events such as rallies or protest that occur on occasion.

Lincoln Memorial Surprise Proposal

 

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!

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!

Surprise Proposal at The Lincoln Memorial

 

During a trip to Philadelphia, Zach made a pit stop with his girlfriend in DC at The Lincoln Memorial and proposed in between the columns! The view from between columns is the perfect shot to photograph the view of The Reflecting Pool, Washington Monument, and Capitol Building in the background! After the propose we walked around the back of the memorial and up to the reflecting pool for additional portraits. For surprise proposals I always make sure to photograph some canid photos of the couple and close of photos of the ring. By delivering a few highlights within 24 hours to my clients, there are able to post on social media to share in the excitement with their friends and family!
