Cherry Blossom Engagement Photos

If you’re planning on Cherry blossom engagement photos in Washington, DC, then you must know about this website. It’s a link to keep an eye on what is blooming at the Tidal basin. Anyone who has tried to plan a photoshoot at the basin knows how fickle these delicate beauties can be. Not only is “peak bloom” hard to predict but also it’s a short-lasting window of ideal opportunity. Early freezes and high winds had been known to make this window even shorter.

Early in my career, before I know how popular the Tidal basin was for photos, I showed up unprepared. We thought we would just swing by the Tidal basin around sunset for a few photos. Boy was I wrong. First of all, we couldn’t find parking anywhere near the Tidal basin. Second of all once we found parking far, far away, we walked to the basin and found throngs of people. People everywhere! No amount of photoshop work could eliminate the amount of people in the background of these photos. 

In conclusion, lesson learned. Nowadays when anyone mentions their interest in Cherry blossom engagement photos I always mention these details. While the photos look amazing, we have to be very intentional about all the details. I love it when couples listen to my input, like this particular couple. They were open and flexible so we went to Hains Point for photos instead of the Tidal basin. This location makes for much better photos with more space for the crowds.
