Katelyn and Brian’s cherry blossom engagement session in Washington, DC felt like something out of a dream, set against the iconic Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial during peak bloom. Their session quickly went viral after I shared a next-day preview on Instagram and honestly, it was no surprise. Between the soft blush cherry blossoms, the unexpected bonus of magnolias blooming at the same time, and Katelyn’s stunning white Zimmermann dress adorned with delicate floral appliqué, the entire session felt surreal in the best possible way. If you’re planning a cherry blossom engagement session in Washington, DC (especially at the Tidal Basin or Jefferson Memorial), this session is the perfect reminder of just how magical peak bloom can be.
