In short
Honeymoon session in Washington, DC starts at $395: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Washington, DC, and 50 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Honeymoon session in Washington, DC?
A honeymoon session in Washington, DC is a 90-minute sunset or sunrise shoot across two locations, with 50 retouched photographs, priced from $395. Washington is a city honeymoon rather than a beach one, which changes the wardrobe: the dress works on marble steps and a riverside terrace, and nothing gets sand in it. Couples on a DC honeymoon are usually combining it with museums and dinners, so the session is placed on an evening when there is no reservation, and the second location is chosen to end near one.
Worth knowing about Washington, DC
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts lets visitors photograph its public spaces, including the REACH pavilions and grounds, and its photo policy places personal wedding, engagement and family photographs under the same casual rules: a hand-held camera, no tripods or ladders, no lens five inches or longer, no props and no group larger than ten. A honeymoon session there is planned within those limits and confirmed with the Kennedy Center first.

FAQ — Honeymoon session in Washington, DC
Can we wear the wedding dress for a honeymoon photoshoot at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC?
Yes, within the Kennedy Center’s casual-photography rules for personal wedding photographs in Washington, DC: hand-held camera only, no props or staging, no moving the furniture, and nothing beyond a short lens. Commercial or media photography needs prior written approval from the Kennedy Center, so the session is confirmed with the venue before the date.
Which evening suits a honeymoon session in Washington, DC?
An evening with no dinner booking before nine, because a Washington, DC honeymoon session ends at sunset and the sunset moves a long way: around 8:35pm in late June and before 5pm in December. The 90 minutes are booked backwards from that date’s sunset time, and the Kennedy Center performance schedule is checked so the terrace is not at intermission.
