Washington DC Engagement Session

Engagement Sessions

March 30, 2016

Once every year, at the beginning of Spring, there’s a teeny tiny window of time when the Cherry Blossoms bloom. The peak bloom of the DC Cherry Blossoms is so highly anticipated, there are entire websites devoted to forecasting exactly when they’ll make themselves known. Over 2000 of these trees line the tidal basin and I’ve read that over 1.5 million people attend the Cherry Blossom Festival annually. People literally come from all over to see these beautiful trees and their pink flowers!

This makes shooting an engagement session during Cherry Blossom peak very tricky! It can also be a little bit more stressful of a shoot for an engaged couple, since they’ve got an audience of folks from all over the world! I find that sunrise is usually the best time of day for these types of sessions, however, all bets are off on Easter Sunday…it was crazy! I have to give big props to Lauren and Taylor for being such troopers throughout the shoot. It’s not easy getting your photo taken in such a chaotic atmosphere, but they did so well!!

I love sunrise sessions (even when the sun doesn’t come out) and I’m so glad we were able to make this work in time for Cherry Blossom season. Enjoy a few of my faves!
