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.

Changing his plans last minute he decided to propose outside The National Gallery of Art in front of The Glass Pyramids similar to those in Paris at The Louvre. Charles proposed in front of their family who stood by to capture images form their cell phones and then congratulate the newly engaged couple afterwards! Afterwards we walked inside The Gallery of Art to capture some shots in the LED tunnel that connects the two buildings and then some more outside the museum and at The Capitol!
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!

Tips for Hiring a Proposal Photographer | Washington DC Surprise Proposal Photographer
I love photographing couples in love and it really excites me when I'm able to capture a surprise marraige proposal! More then just photographing these exciting moments I enjoy being able to collaborate and plan out the proposal and all its details. From the location, to the timing, to how it will all go down a lot of planning goes into capturing these memories.
I developed a few tips to choosing a photographer to photograph your proposal (a moment that only happens once!)
Choose an experienced photographer. Has the photographer photographed proposals before? Ask to view portfolios of images of recent proposals and view there work. Make sure you have confidence in their work. Proposals are a differnt ballgame. A photographer cannot pose or create the moment. He/she must know the proper planning needed to ensure the moment can be captured the best way possible!
Planning. Make sure your photographer is taking the time to work with you to plan your proposal. Unlike controlled engagement or portrait sessions much more planning and expertise must go into a proposal session. You should be confident that your photographer will be able to successfully capture the moment through proper planning.
Ask Questions. Ask your photographer as many questions as you'd like. There is no such thing as a dumb question. Most couples have never hired a professional photographer before. Be sure you feel comfortable.
