Washington DC Botanical Gardens Surprise Proposal Photography

Captured this surprise proposal recently in the tropics exhibit at The Botanical Gardens in Washington DC! During the day of the surprise proposal it was raining outside so we had to change to an indoor location. The botanical gardens made a great spot covered from the rain and cold of winter. The tropics exhibit was humid but at the time is was the spot with the least amount of tourist and most ideal location was up on the walkway. After the marriage proposal we walked through all the exhibits to capture portraits. The botanical gardens is a great indoor location for surprise proposals during the winter or a plan B in case of rain outdoors. Other great indoor location include: The National Gallery of Art, National Portrait Gallery, Library of Congress and Union Station.

Washington DC Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session at Georgetown Waterfront

A Georgetown Waterfront surprise proposal and engagement session! Georgetown is one of my favorite locations for surprise proposal and engagement photography since it offers so much between the park, waterfront area, urban area, bridges, and the Georgetown canal. This proposal took place at the waterfront! Afterwards we walked by some of the best spots for portraits including the restaurant where this couple went one one of their first dates! Picking a location that has meaning is a great ideal when planning a surprise proposal! The bridge that goes over the canal is also a great spot to go for portraits.

Georgetown Waterfront Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session

I photographed this proposal just before sunset at The Georgetown Waterfront along the wooden pathway that runs by the water. It was the perfect shot capturing the presentation of the ring and ring being placed on the finger for the first time! After the surprise proposal we captured additional portraits after sunset. I love photographing couples at night with off camera flash and getting creative with lighting! Here are some of my favorite images! I am excited to be capturing this couples wedding in 2019! Always a pleasure when I get to photograph a couples love story from the surprise proposal to the wedding day.

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.

Lincoln Memorial Surprise Proposal & National Mall Engagement Session

Dan proposed to his girlfriend during a trip to Washington DC at the top of The Lincoln Memorial! My favorite part of capturing surprise proposals is capturing the reaction to the surprise! As we walked down along The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool towards The World War II Memorial they made a phone call to their close family members to announce the news and I was able to capture some more great exciting emotion!
