Sunny and Payal: A True DC Vibe at Lincoln and Constitution Gardens

Payal and Sunny Engagement Session at the National Mall in Washington DC

Venue Location: National Mall in Washington DC

Introduction

Lincoln Memorial and Constitution Gardens—when you hear these iconic locations, you instantly think of Washington, D.C. And for Sunny and Payal, the heart of the nation’s capital was the perfect backdrop to express their love. This hot spot in the DMV area boasts versatility like no other, offering an unparalleled mix of structural and natural beauty, quintessential to D.C.’s dynamic spirit.

Lincoln Memorial: A Monumental Love

As we started our session at the stately Lincoln Memorial, it was clear why so many couples, including Sunny and Payal, are drawn to its majesty. Against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the colossal Lincoln statue and the grand columns, Sunny and Payal emanated a grace and elegance that was utterly timeless. The way they looked at each other was as if they had their own secret language, resonating perfectly with the monumental importance of where they stood.

Constitution Gardens: An Oasis in the Heart of the Capital

From the solemnity of Lincoln, we ventured to the Constitution Gardens. This verdant haven is less like a garden and more like an oasis, offering a tranquil respite from the bustling city. It’s amazing how the Gardens blend the serenity of nature with the urban backdrop, and Sunny and Payal seemed to flourish in this harmonious setting. With the greenery offering a relaxed, pastoral counterpoint to their formal attire, the couple showcased the full breadth of their relationship’s multifaceted charm.

The Ever-Present DC Crowd

One of the quintessential elements of shooting in D.C. is, of course, the ever-present crowd. While the volume of people can be unpredictable, there’s always a unique energy and diversity that the crowd brings. On this day, the audience of tourists and locals alike seemed to sense the magic between Sunny and Payal, offering smiles and well-wishes as they passed by. Far from being an intrusion, the crowd became an unplanned but delightful part of the story of their love.

The Ultimate DC Experience

When you want to capture the true essence of D.C., Lincoln and Constitution Gardens are the locales to choose. Sunny and Payal, your choice of venue couldn’t have been more fitting for the vibrant and layered love you share. Thank you for choosing us to capture these stunning moments. Your session has been a lovely addition to our portfolio, and we’re thrilled to be part of this exciting chapter in your lives.

Farewell for Now

Sunny and Payal, as we wrapped up your photo session amidst the enduring landmarks of D.C., we were reminded once more why we love doing what we do. Your love story, etched against the rich history of this historical city, is one we’ll always remember.

Until next time,
Amy and Srinu

Raksha Sutra... for those of you who did not know what the threads are that the priest ties to the couple and the family members. They are sacred threads blessed by the priest for the wearer. It is one of our kid's favorite parts when going to the temple or having family functions. 🧶
I love how Himica before doing anything else looks around to acknowledge who all was present in the crowd. It was a sweet and kind gesture I felt as you could feel how important it was to her we were all there! 🥰
There was a moment I thought he might not make it through that gate! However his uncles came through for him here 🤑
When your boys are equally ready for it! Here comes the groom 🥳 (or bridegroom to those aunties and uncles 😄)
Westfields Marriott's terrace in the summertime is one of the best places for a B&G to be! 👩🏽‍❤‍👨🏽
The most influential men in your lives tend to be your father, brother, and uncles #FACTS, it is no wonder they party the hardest with you. 🤩
Sepia tones will never go out of style. By the looks of their glances at each other, I don't think they will to each other either. 😍
Lady in Red 🎶

Because for those who might not know the song is about how beautiful his wife looks and how much he loves her. This photo sparks that kind of RAW emotion. Himica's smile is one of such purity. I feel we were so lucky to be their chosen ones 📸

Loving everything about this snap 📸, her genuine smile, playfulness, the beauty of her mehndi and the perfection of her hair and makeup, the minty-sageness of her lehengha and jewelry, her flowers in her hair, and lastly the bling of her ring - the reason we were all there!
