Smithsonian Gardens Engagement Portraits

I had the pleasure of capturing this beautiful proposal at Smithsonian Gardens in Washington DC followed be these stunning engagement portraits. It was a quintessential late May afternoon with blooming flowers and I sat on one of the benches waiting. The groom and I had coordinated. When they turned the corner, her in a beautiful floral dress, he got down on one knee and popped the question. We worked together to plan the perfect spot beforehand. What do you think?

We spent the next bit of time wandering around the Smithsonian Gardens capturing their engagement portraits. She loved the special architecture, so we took special note to capture the stone in these. Scroll all the way down to see some of the magic we created in these portraits! As always, you can always view more sessions on the blog here!
