Romantic Washington, D.C. Engagement Photos at the Library of Congress & National Gallery of Art

Madison and Dominic’s Washington DC engagement session was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and artistic charm. We explored two of the city’s most iconic landmarks—the Library of Congress and the National Gallery of Art—capturing romantic portraits that truly reflected their love story.

One of my favorite parts of engagement photography is playing with different types of lighting. From the grand, golden tones of the Library of Congress to the soft, artistic light inside the museum, every setting gave us a chance to create something unique. Madison and Dominic brought two beautiful outfit choices that set the tone for the session. Their first look was more formal, classic and elegant, perfectly fitting for the historic backdrop of the Library of Congress. For the second look, they chose a softer, floral-inspired style, which was ideal for the airy and artistic feel of the National Gallery of Art engagement photos.

As a DC wedding photographer, I love when couples embrace the city’s stunning architecture and museums for their engagement photos. Locations like these offer both timeless and creative backdrops, making every gallery and corridor a chance to tell a new story.

If you’re dreaming of your own engagement photos in DC, the Library of Congress and National Gallery of Art are two locations that never disappoint.
