A Summertime Engagement Session in DC | Jacque & Zac

If you like lush, vibrant greens, you are going to LOVE these portraits! We met at Constitution Gardens for Jacque and Zac’s engagement session, which in my opinion, is one of the most underrated locations in DC. You’ve got beautiful views of Lincoln in one direction, the Washington Monument in the other, and you’re surrounded by beautiful weeping willow trees. It’s pretty hard to beat!

Jacque and Zac met at Salisbury University, and now they’re parents to two kitties and planning a spring 2021 wedding! These two are so cute together and instantly seemed comfortable in front of the camera. Jacque has the best laugh, and Zac is perfectly happy to make her laugh. Made my job way too easy!

We headed over to the WWII Memorial to wrap up the session. This is NOT an easy place to shoot, especially midday in July without a cloud in the sky! But once again, Jacque and Zac made it look easy. Of course we had to snap a pic in front of the Maryland pillar. How can you visit this landmark and not take a photo by your state?!

Enjoy my favorites from their session – congrats, you two!
