Washington DC Reflecting Pool Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
The Reflecting Pool is an iconic spot for a surprise proposal with a DC view! The steps of The Lincoln Memorial can be crowded at times with tourist so by proposing in front of The Reflecting Pool you get a similar view of The Washington Monument without tourist behind you since no one will be in the water! If you propose off to the side slightly you can also get a view of The Capital Building peeking out from behind the monument. If you’re more centered The Washington Monument would hide The Capital. After the proposal you can get some great shots with The Lincoln behind you. During Cherry Blossom peak bloom you can also walk a little bit to get some shots with the trees! Lots of options within a small walking distance. Get in touch to learn more about planning a surprise proposal in the Washington DC area!

Washington DC Constitution Gardens Winter Surprise Proposal
Constitution Gardens in Washington DC is located between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial on part of The Mall. It’s a small piece of land surrounded by a pond that is accessible by a small wooden bridge. It makes a great proposal location for a perfect unobtrusive view of The Washington Monument in the background. The location is very private and normally has few tourist in the area as many of the tourist spend time at the nearby memorials. This makes for the perfect location that includes the view of the monuments without the large crowds of tourist. This spot also commonly has ducks and lots of greenery surrounding.
After the proposal moment some friends rushed over to congratulate the newly engaged couple! Capturing the reactions of the friends was also a great moment! Including friends or family after your surprise proposal is a great way to have a second surprise and get photos with those friends and family members as well as more great reaction shots!

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."

Each time I photograph at the memorials I am always looking for a new creative angle.

The National Zoo - The National Zoo is a fun place to propose! I loved capturing this surprise proposal in front of the African elephants exhibit!
The National Gallery of Art - Outside of The National Gallery of Art in DC there are some cool sculptures including the glass pyramids! During the winter the ice skating rink is also a great place to propose!
Mount Vernon - Mount Vernon in Alexandria, Virginia was George Washington's home built in 1735. The back of the mansion has a grassy area with a great view of The Potomac River and the mansion.
Georgetown Waterfront - The Georgetown Waterfront overlooks The Kennedy Center and is a great spot for an afternoon walk along the water.
Surprise Proposal at Jones Point Park in Alexandria, Virginia
Jones Point Park is one of my favorite parks in Alexandria, Virginia for surprise proposals and engagement sessions! The park is right along The Potomac River with a view of The National Harbor and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Jones Point Park is normally a quiet location with most people there just running or biking through. One of the most popular features of the park is the lighthouse that was built in 1855. It is the last remaining riverine lighthouse in Virginia. There are many great pathways, grassy areas, and the parking lot under the bridge is perfect for portraits as well. The grounds of the park are open from 6am-10pm but the best time for photos is a few hours before sunset. Each surprise proposal and engagement session I capture at Jones Point Park is different and unique as the park changes each season.
The Inn at Little Washington Surprise Proposal
Josh proposed to his girlfriend with The Blue Ridge Mountains in the background during a weekend stay at The Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Virginia. The gardens and views made for some really awesome portraits!
Thank you Josh for this great testimonial!
"Working with Jon to capture my proposal was a truly great experience. Despite a late inquiry - I initially contacted him about a week before the date - Jon was extremely flexible and accommodating. There were some proposal aspects that I had not decided on with certainty and he set aside more than enough time to ensure that the moment was captured professionally and beautifully. All contractual and payment details were upfront and straightforward - no unexpected costs, no muss, no fuss. As far as the pictures go, I love what Jon produced for us. He was able to frame our photos impeccably with our surroundings - we have received countless compliments from everyone that we've shared them with. His initial estimate was that all our photos would be available after 1-2 weeks, but we received them all in a nicely-presented online album in after 2 days. Highly recommended!"
Old Town Alexandria Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session
Old Town Alexandria is always a great place for a surprise proposal! Christian proposed to his girlfriend along the waterfront at Founders Park. On the day of the proposal it started to rain so we went to The Wilkes Street Tunnel in Old Town for more portraits. I have always wanted to shoot at this tunnel and it was finally my chance! I hope to do more sessions at Wilkes Street Tunnel soon.
Washington Monument Surprise Proposal
I had an awesome time capturing Greg's surprise proposal to his girlfriend Kristi at The Washington Monument! I love capturing surprise proposals in Washington DC and being presented with new challenges! As a professional photographer it is my job to be able to correctly light and capture moments in any situation. Greg wanted to propose after sunset at the base of The Washington Monument where there is very little to no available light aside from the lights on the monument. Unlike when you are indoors and able to bounce flash from walls and ceilings photographing outdoors in open areas you would need a photographer with the experience to correctly light the subjects with off camera flash. I was able to capture this surprise proposal with the help of a lighting and my knowledge of off camera flash! Afterwards Greg, Kristi and I walked along The National Mall for some more awesome night portraits!
