Ali and Kyle’s engagement photos in Washington DC felt like a little escape to Paris. We wandered the streets, soaked in the city, and even found the cutest French café for a quiet moment together. These two call Washington DC home and are tying the knot in Maryland this October. City love stories just hit different, and this session shows exactly why!
Ali & Kyle’s Engagement Photos in Washington DC — From Strolling The Streets to Sipping Cocktails
We kicked off Ali and Kyle’s engagement photos in Washington DC by wandering the tree-lined streets. Their vibe? Effortless. Ali wore a flowy neutral skirt and a strapless white top, paired with bright red flats that popped in every photo. Meanwhile, Kyle kept it simple and classic in a light button-up and navy pants. It was cool, comfortable, and totally them.
One of our first stops was the iconic red awning at Le Diplomate. These two cozied up at one of the bistro tables out front—very much giving French café energy without ever leaving DC. After that, we wandered a bit more before heading to Jane Jane for cocktails and more laughs. The whole session felt relaxed and full of personality from start to finish. In the end, this shoot was such a reminder that your engagement session should feel like you, not like a Pinterest checklist.
Your photos should tell your story, not someone else’s. That’s why I always encourage couples to pick locations, outfits, and vibes that actually reflect who they are. Whether that’s getting drinks at your go-to bar or walking the streets of your favorite neighborhood, the most meaningful photos happen when you’re just being yourselves. And DC? It has all the range. From colorful sidewalks to cozy city corners and romantic street cafés, it’s basically a built-in mood board for couples who want something both timeless and true to them.
Let’s Create Something That Feels Like You
There’s just something about engagement photos in Washington DC. The energy, the architecture, the way the city gives you a mix of classic and cool all at the same time. Whether you’re sipping cocktails at your favorite bar, dancing under blossom trees, or even just grabbing a slice of pizza at a local joint. DC gives you the space to make your session uniquely yours.
If you’re looking for a photographer who blends editorial vibes with natural connection, you’re in the right place! My style is modern, romantic, and a little playful. I’ll guide you when needed but always leave room for those in-between moments that feel the most like you. From engagement photos to wedding days, I’m all about storytelling that’s stylish, genuine, and never overly posed.
