National Cathedral Engagement Photos | Washington, DC

Spring mornings in Washington, DC don’t get much better than this! Rebecca and Gordon’s engagement session took place on a chilly morning at the National Cathedral during cherry blossom peak bloom. Soft pink and white blossoms lined the Bishop’s Garden’s winding pathways as we wandered through the quiet cathedral grounds, soaking in one of the most beautiful times of year.

From there, we made our way to the National Cathedral, itself, pausing for stolen moments between archways and sunlit courtyards. We ended the session beneath the magnolias, which happened to overlap with cherry blossoms this year — a rare and exciting coincidence that made for a truly unique spring engagement session in Washington, DC.

Your National Cathedral Engagement Session

The National Cathedral is one of my favorite places for engagement photos in Washington DC, especially in the spring when the Bishop’s Garden is in full bloom. With the cathedral’s architecture, winding garden paths, courtyards, cherry blossoms, and magnolias all within a short walk of one another, there’s plenty of variety without needing to travel far. As a DC wedding photographer, I’ve photographed many sessions throughout the city and know how much timing can make a difference when planning around seasonal blooms.
