Iconic DC Engagement Photos at Sunset
When you think iconic monument DC engagement sessions, you probably have the Lincoln Memorial on your list—and Blake and Jandi’s September engagement session gave all the romantic, DC-core vibes. With golden sunlight spilling across the marble steps and the Washington Monument glowing in the distance, these two lit up the space even more.
Yes, the Lincoln Memorial was busy.
(It always is.)
But with a little weekday planning and the right angles, we made it feel like they had the whole place to themselves.
Why the Lincoln Memorial Is a Dream Location for DC Couples
For DC couples who want a classic-meets-epic backdrop for their engagement session, the Lincoln Memorial delivers. It’s timeless, elegant, and comes with built-in drama—thanks to the towering columns and panoramic city views.
But here’s the deal: It’s always packed.
That’s why I always recommend weekday sessions around sunset. Blake and Jandi’s session is the perfect example of how golden hour + the right timing = absolute magic.
A Romantic Evening in the Heart of the Capital
Blake and Jandi brought the best energy—sweet, affectionate, and fully present with each other. Whether they were wrapped up in a quiet moment or laughing in the sunlight, their connection was so easy to photograph. This session was full of warm light, genuine joy, and a sense of calm in the middle of the nation’s capital.
It doesn’t get more romantic than this.
