Inn at Little Washington Surprise Proposal in Washington, Virginia

The Inn at Little Washington is a cute scenic location and a romantic spot for a surprise proposal with The Blue Ridge Mountains as the backdrop. The Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Virginia about an hour and a half outside Washington DC is made up of Victorian buildings on the main street of a the town of Washington less then a mile from Route 211 and right near the border of Shenandoah National Park. The Shenandoah Valley is beatiful at all times of year especially in spring and fall. My favorite spot for a surprise proposal on the property of the inn is the large pen field with the mountain view! After the moment the garden area behind the inn makes a great location for portraits! The Inn at Little Washington also host weddings! Here are my favorite images from this proposal! Congratulations to another happily engaged couple!

Washington DC Lincoln Memorial Surprise Proposal & Cherry Blossom Engagement Session

The Lincoln Memorial is the perfect spot for a DC surprise proposal with an amazing view of The Washington Memorial in between the columns of the The Lincoln. I captured this picture perfect proposal in the middle of Cherry Blossom season where we got super lucky with out tourist walking into this amazing shot! After the proposal we walked over to The FDR Memorial and Tidal Basin for some Cherry Blossom photos as they were in peak bloom. The Cherry Blossom Festival is a spring celebration honoring the gift of the Japanese Cherry Trees to The US from Japan in 1912. The trees celebrated the friendship between the US and Japan. This is a super busy time of year for photographers as many couples schedule engagement sessions and photography sessions at the blossoms! 

Thank you for this amazing testimonial!

"Jon was excellent. Although I wasn't the one planning the proposal (I'm the bride :) ), I cannot get over how amazing the photos were that Jon took. My friends didn't believe me when I showed them the proposal picture and told them that it was taken in the real moment - they thought it was recreated afterwards! Jon was so natural to be around and you can really tell how much he loves taking photos, finding the right angle, etc. My favorite part was how quick he was to send a few photos after the proposal - I was excited to use his beautiful photo to announce my engagement and I was so happy I didn't have to wait long!"

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! 

"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."
