I hope to photograph them again soon! And if you’re planning an engagement session of your own, I’d love to be the one to photograph it! Just send an inquiry my way, and we can begin searching for the perfect locations.Located approximately one and one-half miles north of the White House in Washington, District of Columbia, the park is bounded by Sixteenth Street on the west, Euclid Street on the north, Fifteenth Street on the east, and W Street on the south.

I am still so grateful Dianna and Jake asked me to photograph their Meridian Hill Park engagement session. Quiet moments like this one during the session are so important to me as a photographer. The sun was right above the small mountain in the background, and the beautifully silhouetted them. I told my Dianna and Jake to hold hands and just walk along the road together. Throughout it all, Dianna and Jake were such a joy to photograph! One of my favorite moments from their session happened on the road of Rock Creek Park. And I’ve found that getting to know your subjects makes all the difference. As a camera-shy introvert myself, it’s so important to me to make sure the couples I work with feel comfortable in front of the camera. They told me about their love story, the proposal, and the wedding planning process. I love getting to know my couples on a deeper level during the engagement session. This was also an opportunity to get to know Dianna and Jake a bit better. So, we were able to meander along the road and explore nearby streams. On the weekends, one of the roads through the park is shut down to cars and opened to foot traffic.

Although I’ve photographed here many times before, I still feel just as excited every single time. Despite our initial disappointment, this simple bush made for some of the most lovely photos of our entire session!Īfter we finished up there, we strolled around Meridian Hill Park to find more hidden gems, until we eventually arrived at the gorgeous entrance staircase. But that’s the great thing about working with flexible clients: somehow the “unfortunately”s turn right into “fortunately”s before long! As we explored the area for a backup backdrop, we discovered a gorgeous pink bush. However, when we arrived the iconic fountain was under construction so we had to adjust out plans. On the day of their session, I met Dianna and Jake at Meridian Hill Park. It also gives us extra time to get to know each other, which makes for some amazing photos! I enjoy the added variety and sense of adventure it brings to the day. It’s the best when couples decide to split a session between different locations. And I responded enthusiastically, “Of course!” After some careful consideration, they asked if we could visit both Meridian Hill Park and Rock Creek Park. engagement session, I immediately sent them my go-to list of favorite locations to choose from.
