Washington DC offers several beautiful indoor locations for engagement sessions, perfect for capturing elegant and timeless photos regardless of the weather. One of my favorite locations is the National Portrait Gallery located near Capital One Arena and Gallery Place. It’s one of the most popular art museums in DC, not just amongst tourists but also amongst photographers. This is due to the fact that there are no permits required, which is absolutely splendid because so many other popular places to shoot at in DC are heavily checked for permits, such as the Lincoln Memorial, Tidal Basin, etc. Thankfully, professional sessions are free at the art museum, so long as you’re respectful of the place and people and aren’t obscuring any pathways.
Kate and Jon had a blast during their engagement session at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, surrounded by iconic portraits and grand architectural details, capturing their love in a blend of art and history. Key features of the National Portrait Gallery are grand staircases, beautiful galleries, and a mix of modern and historical portraits that add a sophisticated touch.
