Can you wait until the season is right for cherry blossoms? If so, the Cherry Blossom Festival happens in late March to early April each year. It's one of the best chances to have a proposal outdoor photoshoot amidst the blooming pink and white Japanese sakura cherry trees. The Tidal Basin is the epicenter for cherry blossom season and you can include iconic monuments like Jefferson Memorial in the background. If you want to avoid the crowds, you can also find other cherry trees in out of the way places like Dumbarton Oaks Park and Stanton Park.
