The National Arboretum in Washington DC is one of my favorite places. It’s hard to believe such a large park exists within the city. It has a variety of gardens (including an entire bonsai section) and columns which were a part of the United States Capitol from 1828 to 1958. It definitely makes for a beautiful spot for a proposal, or just to hang out with your dog (because of course you have a dog).
There is one downside to the arboretum: they’re super strict about photography permits. I’ve gotten away without one once or twice, but you can never be sure, which is why I recommend getting one. Click below to get more info on that.

I’m Chris and my mission is to capture bold, modern, and distinctive photos for unconventional couples. I want to make you look epic, awesome, amazing, beautiful, and dapper – all the things you like and none of the things you don’t. Most importantly, I want to capture what makes you you.
If this sounds like you and your partner and you’d like me to document your Washington DC Proposal, please reach out to me below. I’d love to chat! You can also e-mail me at chris@chrisferenzi.com.
