McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area

Located in Montgomery County, McKee-Beshers in Washington, D.C., offers the perfect escape for your engagement photography session. 

A 2,000-acre escape, McKee-Beshers is a mist of woodlands, fields and wetlands. The trails here go on for miles, offering you three very different backdrop styles for your Washington, D.C., engagement photographer to have fun with. 

The park is situated adjacent to the Potomac river, which will give you a more aquatic backdrop. The forest flanks the river, giving your engagement photography the air of something “just discovered” and otherwise left untouched. 

In addition to these locations, McKee-Beshers has one showstopper that tops them all. We’re talking about the expansive fields of sunflowers! Fair warning: It’s time-sensitive, so be sure to plan accordingly! 

Since sunflowers are only in bloom for part of the year, we recommend heading to the McKee-Beshers website to check the status of these beauties before planning your session.

Photo Permit Required: No

Please Note: Sunflowers Are Not in Bloom Year-Round
