What if we can’t make our scheduled appointment time?

If you can’t make your scheduled appointment, we are always available by phone (202)544-6065 or email info@centralphotocompany.com. During the high season (March-June), most appointment adjustments can be accommodated as our permit allows for multiple days of photography.

What if there is inclement weather on the day we have our photo scheduled?

We recommend booking your photo appointment for the beginning of your trip, leaving room to reschedule if needed. Central Photo will photograph your group rain or shine! However, if there are extreme weather conditions that would create an unsafe environment, we will be happy to reschedule to the day and time of your choice!

Where should we meet the photographer?

When it is time for your scheduled portrait, your group should meet the photographer at the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial on the west side of the Capitol Building. When you are looking at the capitol from the Grant Memorial, the Central Photo photographer will be on the left set of steps. As always, we are available by phone for immediate assistance.
