Washington, DC Self Officiated Wedding Ceremony at Lafayette Park
A self-uniting marriage is where couples are married without the presence of a third party officiant. Only a few states in the US offer this option. Washington, DC is one of the few places where you can self officiate your wedding ceremony! I met this couple at the Hay Adams while they were visiting DC to photograph a few portraits on the rooftop with the view of the White House, Washington Monument, and Jefferson Memorial. After some wedding portraits at the Hay Adams we walked over to Lafayette Park in front of the White House for their self-uniting ceremony!

LOVE Park
Love Park officially know as John F. Kennedy Plaza is near City Hall in City Center Philadelphia. The park is nickname Love Park for it’s iconic sculpture. The sculpture is a great backdrop for a proposal and park area and City Hall just steps away make for great portrait locations! The park can be busy with tourist at times especially around the sculpture so planning for proposing during less busy times of day is ideal!
Independence Hall
This makes for great historical backdrop! There is plenty of grass area and pathways in front of Independence Hall to use. Independence Hall is the building where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and adopted. There are park areas nearby that can be used for portraits afterwards. This spot works great to plan your proposal before or after a tour if you are visiting from out of town.
Rittenhouse Square
Rittenhouse Square is a one block park that is one of the most popular spots in Philly! Especially during springtime this makes for a beautiful backdrop for a proposal or engagement. On occasion there can be markets or festivals happening in the park so be sure to look up to make sure no events conflict with your plans!

A beatiful park area near Philly with the perfect skyline view of the city! Considering bringing a picnic or walking through the fields to get this view behind you when you propose!
Addison Street (1700 block)
Philly has many cool streets and alley ways especially near Rittenhouse Square. Addison Street is one spot that is popular but there are many other picture perfect options!
