Smithsonian gardens engagement session

Mike and Dang decided on a Smithsonian gardens engagement session. We met at sunrise in late spring in Washington DC and the gardens did not disappoint. We had the entire place to ourselves and even though the peak spring bloom was a week prior, everything was perfect. Smithsonian Gardens Engagement Sessions are of faves for a few reasons. No need for permits and the gardens are perfect backdrops. These awesome guys met a few years back and finally got engaged a couple months prior to their session in Boston MA. Photographing them was so much fun. We literally laughed the entire time. Scroll down and view Mike and Dang’s Smithsonian gardens engagement session.

One of my favorite spots inside the Smithsonian gardens is the reflection pool. It’s surrounded by beautiful sculptures the when the angle is just right you can even see the Smithsonian building in the water. We finished off this session right by the national mall. With the Washington Monument in the background it was the perfect place to end their Washington DC Engagement Session. You can find more info on my engagement sessions here!
