While the National Mall is a pretty popular spot for engagement shoots, there’s one time of year that it really shines for its romantic appeal: cherry blossom season. While it’s sometimes a little tricky to schedule a session around peak blooms, weather and the lovely couple’s schedule, it’s always worth the effort, every single time. The pink flowers, spring weather and magnificent white architecture all combine for a truly spectacular sight.
A small town in the Prince William and Manassas region, Haymarket, Va., was an interesting and important choice for this engagement shoot. It was here that we braved the early chilly mornings of spring to head out onto the groom-to-be’s childhood family farm. The rustic and rural setting was perfect for a shoot filled with nostalgia, romance…and maybe a little whiskey, too.
In Virginia’s romantic wedding capital of Loudoun County, Leesburg sets itself apart with its charming historic district and downtown architecture, ranging from Georgian to Greek Revival. With lots of cute little shops and restaurants to choose from, this shoot ended up at Senor Ramon Taqueria, because what engagement session wouldn’t be a little better with a side of tacos and sangria?
There are plenty of historic and iconic engagement shoot locations in Washington, D.C., particularly around the National Mall. However, the Jefferson Memorial is something special, with its elegant architecture and waterfront views combined for one picturesque setting. The only thing to remember? Getting tourist-free photos requires an early morning!
As far as engagement shoot settings around D.C. go, Old Town Alexandria is one of our favorites. There’s so much history, the waterfront, beautiful cobblestone streets and just the right mix of green space and picturesque architectural touches. Plus, with a variety of backdrops to choose from, there’s a multitude of moods possible for your engagement photos.
A pastoral hideaway just outside Leesburg, Va., Stone Tower Winery boasts a rustically refined setting suited for a peaceful retreat. With 75 acres of vineyards, the beautiful Harvest Barn tasting room and lots of lush lawn space, it’s a lovely spot for either an engagement session or a wedding.
