DC Proposal Photography| Adam and Rachel

greg.rhein — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:00:35 +0000

Adam and Rachel met volunteering at a youth group event on October 24^th, 2014. He had just moved to Washington D.C. and Rachel was telling him about different ways to meet friends in the city… Little did Adam know he had just met his soon-to-be best friend.
Rachel was drawn to how warm and open Adam was. “He was so easy to talk to; the first day we met we talked for 4 hours!” Adam loved how she was a ball of energy and always had a smile on her face.
Rachel knew Adam was the one because of football Sundays. He is a huge Eagles fan and she is a big Redskins fan, so their relationship could have ended right there. Instead, they would spend almost every Sunday watching football for hours. Those were the days Rachel realized how relaxed and happy she was with him and that she could spend every Sunday with him for the rest of her life.
Adam decided to propose the day after his birthday because Rachel wouldn’t expect it. He chose to do it at Gravelly Point because it was near the airport where she was picking him up and wouldn’t make her suspicious that anything was going on. “It is such a beautiful spot with views of the planes taking off, as well as landmarks in DC like the Washington Monument that we have visited together.”

DC Proposal Photography| Kelley and Erin

greg.rhein — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 14:24:24 +0000

Erin and Kelley actually met online. The first time they met in person Erin was so nervous that the first thing she said upon seeing Kelley was “Hi, I’ve been drinking wine.” Her second sentence was “Shut up, go home!” Kelley had come bearing flowers and that was something Erin wasn’t used to.
Kelley purchased the perfect ring for Erin from Robbins Diamonds in Newark.
What initially attracted Erin and Kelley to each other was their mutual sense of humor.

Though Kelley can’t pinpoint a specific moment in time when she knew exactly Erin was the one, for them it was a culmination of moments. It was over the course of the 4.5 years they spent together, building a life together, making memories and sharing moments. Regardless if the day was bad or good, Kelley knew she needed Erin to be there for all the future moments to come.

Kelley chose to propose in D.C. because it has always been one of their favorite cities and where they have shared some of their fondest memories.

The Marriage Proposal

After a romantic stroll through the gardens at Mount Vernon, Karah, Allison, and their chocolate lab reached a peaceful gazebo overlooking the Potomac River. Sarah casually told her to check their pup’s collar, where Allison found a sweet proposal note.

She joyfully accepted and with tears of happiness in her eyes, she pulled a sparkling engagement ring from her own pocket, and proposed right back!

Our sneaky snapper caught the moment they realized they both had unknowingly planned a surprise proposal for the very same day!

She wanted to make sure it was all captured with beautiful surprise engagement photos, and that their pup was able to help her pop the question.

Allison and Karah frequently take day trips to the park to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and they shared many happy memories here. Its outdoor gardens were dog-friendly and picture perfect for proposal photography and post-engagement couples portraits!

DC Proposal Photography Package

Our proposal expert worked with Karah to determine which DC surprise proposal photography package was the best fit.

D.C. Park Marriage Proposal

D.C. has over 230,000 acres of parks, so you’ll have plenty to choose from for your wedding proposal.

Matt wanted something private and intimate, so he opted to propose in the quieter Meridian Hill Park. He captured Maeve’s adorable reaction with our Proposal Photography Package.

Chose the park that means something to you as a couple. Maybe it’s where you go on runs together every morning, or where you shared your first kiss!

If you’re from out of town, take in the best views of the city with a Federal Hill Park picnic marriage proposal. Keep it intimate and private with a Meridian Hill Park surprise engagement.

Head to D.C.’s Georgetown Waterfront Park to pop the question shoreside. The green space features stunning views of the Key Bridge, gorgeous walking trails and a water fountain that perfectly complements the skyline.

Alexandria Waterfront Marriage Proposal

If the two of you want a less public proposal that’s still shoreside, try the docks of Old Town Alexandria.

After chatting with our proposal experts, Sultan decided that their favorite date spot was the perfect place to pop the question. Check out their full engagement photo gallery for pictures of the proposal and their couples shoot after he popped the question!

Romantic, well-lit and not as crowded as downtown, Alexandria offers art, music and waterfront dining in a quieter setting only 23 minutes from downtown D.C. Whisk your s/o away for a day trip to the boardwalk, and stop at one of the gazebos to take in the sights. When the moment is right, drop to one knee!

D.C. Monument Marriage Proposal

The perfect marriage proposal plan for a couple looking to commemorate their engagement with something quintessentially D.C.

A picturesque engagement photo from Sagar’s Jefferson Memorial Proposal, captured with our Proposal Photography Package!

It’s a monumental question, so why not ask it in front of one of D.C.’s incredible memorials? The National Mall is home to D.C.‘s most iconic monuments, memorials and museums. Invite your special someone for a pre-dinner stroll along the green. When you reach the Lincoln or Jefferson Memorial, drop to one knee on the stunning marble steps!

National Gallery Sculpture Garden Marriage Proposal

Nestled within the National Mall, the Sculpture Garden is both garden and outdoor exhibit, serving as a gorgeous backdrop for an engagement.

She was completely surprised by Gabriel’s proposal at the AMOR statue in the ‘heart’ of the Sculpture Garden!
