Proposal at Hains Point with the Kwanzan cherry trees

Looking for a cherry blossom proposal without the crowds? Hains Point is one of DC’s best-kept secrets for a surprise proposal, especially when the Kwanzan cherry trees bloom in mid to late April. These trees have fuller, deep pink blossoms and create a stunning, romantic backdrop.

What makes this location perfect? It’s spacious, peaceful, and often overlooked, even during peak bloom. You don’t have to wake up at sunrise or fight for space—there’s room to breathe, walk, and soak in the moment together.

If you’re planning to propose and want the beauty of cherry blossoms without the chaos of the Tidal Basin, Hains Point is a beautiful choice. I’ll help you choose the best tree, time it just right, and capture it all naturally, without making it feel like a photoshoot.
