If you’re planning on getting married and wondering should you book proposal photos? this is for you.
There’s something almost magical about “the moment” when someone drops to one knee and asks the most important question of your life. It’s fleeting, heartfelt, and utterly unforgettable. As a Baltimore wedding photographer, I think moments like these are exactly the ones you want documented.
Recently, my team and I had the joy of capturing two beautiful proposals at Tudor Place in Washington, D.C. This historic estate, with its manicured gardens, elegant shrubs, and striking architecture, creates a romantic setting. It feels tailor-made for “yes!” moments. The garden’s soft paths and vibrant blooms frame each proposal with effortless beauty.
Below are two different examples of proposal photos at this venue! One took place in the Summer with clear skies and vibrant greens! The other big event was in the Spring, with all the gorgeous blooms that Washington DC is known for!
Need more convincing to capture this moment? If Taylor Swift, (icon of cultural moments), had her proposal documented recently! Travis Kelce made sure someone was there to capture the moments. When she shared stunning images from her own floral-filled engagement, she captivated millions across social media. While most of us don’t have that kind of reach, we can certainly take notes from how important the pictures are! That kind of carefully preserved moment? It’s proof positive that some memories are worth capturing in style.
So… the question remains: should you book proposal photos? The answer, in my opinion, is yes. These images let you freeze not just a visual moment, but the raw emotion. The surprise, the laughter, the tears, the sheer joy that unfolds in an instant. Years later, you’ll treasure those photos as a vibrant slice of your personal love story. (I imagine my clients sharing them with their children one day!!)
I believe every chapter of your journey deserves a beautiful portrait. Starting with the moment you say “forever.” Whether you’re planning an intimate surprise in the city or an elegant garden shoot, I’ll guide you through seamless planning so you can be fully present in those moments.
The Session above captured beautifully by JHP’s talented photographer, Katherine and below captured by yours truly! And I cant wait to keep these celebration going with these two – I am so excited to capture their September 2026 wedding at Columbia Country Club!
