The REACH at Kennedy Center DC Engagement Session

Joe + V.

The REACH at the Kennedy Center is one of Washington, DC’s newer outdoor spaces that boasts bold colors and open scenery that is great for weekend hangouts, rooftop lunch dates and couples looking to soak up the summer vibes. With wedding day a few short months away, Joe and V. made a trip from California for their engagement session. When someone talks about two people being in sync and a perfect fit, these two were spot on.

From the first snap to the last, they were true to each other and the moment and made this session glow. I’ll say it to anybody who will listen, the Kennedy Center in the heart of Washington, DC has the best views in the region. Im not exaggerating either, I really mean it. On the east side of the building, you can see the quintessential DC landmarks, the National Mall, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Memorial. The west side overlooks the Potomac River and into Arlington, Virginia.

If you’re looking for a picturesque location to catch a radiant summer sunset, this is the first place you need to go. Joe and V. took me here and Teddy Roosevelt Island for their engagement and I haven’t stopped bragging about it since. Beautiful backdrops. Vibrant colors. Open and spacious. The Kennedy Center is a gem hiding in plain sight.
