Lynette and Alex’s dreamy magnolia engagement session at the Enid A. Haupt Garden in Washington, DC was full of light, laughter, and romance. Despite the afternoon crowds, we found little pockets of calm in the blossoms that made it feel as if we had the blooms all to ourselves. Their cavapoo, Leo, was pure fluff and charm — a tiny teddy bear stealing the spotlight! With the last light of the day bathing the garden in a soft, golden glow, Lynette and Alex twirled and laughed amongst the magnolias, full of effortless joy. Talk about a perfect spring Washington, DC magnolia engagement session!

Looking for a DC Engagement Photographer?
The Enid A. Haupt Garden is one of my favorite places for engagement photos in Washington DC, especially when the magnolias are in bloom. Since the magnolias only bloom for a short period of time each year, timing can be a little tricky when planning a magnolia session. As a DC engagement photographer, I’ve photographed enough spring sessions in DC over the years to know how quickly the blooms can change, and I always keep a close eye on them when helping couples plan their sessions.
