Just a few blocks away from the Library of Congress, this well-lit carriage house provides a fun yet formal setting for the scholar\u2019s photos. It\u2019s an open studio floor plan with about 800 square feet of open floorplan sparsely punctuated with stylish accents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s already well set up for photo shoots, with backdrops including a wall decorated with peach and turquoise abstract frond shapes that give off a retro Miami-style vibe, and glossy white brick walls that will let the graduate shine without distraction. The clear Lucite-inspired chairs would be a great place to strike that proud \u201cI-did-it\u201d pose.

Looking for a (much) less stodgy site for your graduation pics? Most often used for filming, the Navy Yard-area Caf\u00e9 Angelique is always ready for pro photoshoots too. Each nook of the place features a different, highly Instagrammable background and props \u2013 like a vintage yellow bicycle and a synthetic grass wall \u2013 both decorated with punchy paper flowers. It\u2019s not just the d\u00e9cor that makes this caf\u00e9 one and production space one of the best graduation photoshoot ideas in Washington, D.C. <\/strong>The bright light is flattering, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Is your graduate classy? Prim, proper, and put together? The Woodrow Wilson House is an ideal site for the emerging professional to take elegant graduation photos. This is historical residence is definitely one of the best graduation photoshoot ideas in Washington, D.C. The colonial architecture is Georgian Revival style \u2013 a three-story brick townhouse complete with terraces, columns \u2013 surrounded by an expansive manicured lawn and formal gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior spaces are lush and rather formal. Picture maroon velvet chaise lounges, thick tapestries, and oil paintings, not to mention a museum\u2019s worth of antique gifts of state for President Wilson. It was regal enough to be the final residence of our 28th<\/sup> president, and so befitting of an accomplished graduate. Bonus: the interior features plentiful natural light, which a photographer could opt to block using the thick curtains hung strategically throughout the home.

4. Take a stroll around a photogenic garden space<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sprinkled throughout the city, picturesque gardens provide another backdrop for chronicling major life events. These gardens are some of the best graduation photoshoot ideas in Washington, D.C. One such garden, located in the Kalorama Heights neighborhood, is available year \u2019round for just such occasions. The semi-private garden is surrounded by brick homes, some of which also rent rooms for photography and events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spring, the graduate can pose in front of an iconic D.C. cherry tree bursting with purple blossoms, or an equally elegant crepe myrtle. Or they can pose bathed in light on a classic bench in front of bright flowers. No matter the season, the gated and walled gardens afford a photogenic setting for your graduation shots.
