My Favorite Locations for Engagement Sessions

As an engagement photographer, I am always on the lookout for picturesque spots that combine beautiful uninterrupted sky views with natural vibes. I love capturing the moments when the sun sets and transitions into the enchanting "blue hour". Here are my top recommendations for those seeking the perfect engagement session locations, where the city meets open natural spaces:

Wheeler Ferris Wheel Park: Located at the heart of Oklahoma City, this park offers a stunning cityscape backdrop. The Ferris wheel adds a touch of whimsy, especially during sunset when the sky fills with a warm and vibrant palette.

Like most of my sessions, this one started right before sunset to get plenty of bright colorful images!

My sunset sessions start in the golden hazy vibes and can end w/ night photography!

Scissortail Park: Situated just south of downtown, Scissortail Park encompasses vast green spaces, tranquil ponds, and contemporary architectural elements. The park's modern design seamlessly blends nature with urban aesthetics, making it an ideal spot for engagement sessions during the golden hour. This park can be combined with downtown OKC and/or Myriad.

Oklahoma City Boathouse District: This unique location juxtaposes the city skyline with the serene surroundings of the Oklahoma River. From its iconic pedestrian bridge to the stylish boathouses, you'll find a variety of architectural features that make for captivating engagement session photos.

Myriad Botanical Gardens: A true oasis within the bustling city, the Myriad Botanical Gardens boasts a lush landscape with cascading waterfalls, vibrant flowers, and verdant foliage. Shooting here during sunset creates a dreamy ambiance perfect for expressing romantic connections.

Martin Park Nature Center: Nestled away in a peaceful corner of the city, Martin Park Nature Center offers ample opportunities for nature-inspired engagement sessions. Wind through wooded trails, capture intimate moments by tranquil ponds, and take advantage of the stunning sunset views peeking through the trees.

Lake Hefner: For couples seeking a more expansive horizon, Lake Hefner is an unbeatable location. Positioned on the western edge of Oklahoma City, this vast lake offers uninterrupted sky views and breathtaking sunsets. Engagements captured against the backdrop of shimmering waters create a sense of tranquility and romance.
Remember, no matter which location you choose, it's the connection between the couple that truly makes the photographs special. These spots simply enhance the natural beauty of their love, providing a canvas for unforgettable engagement sessions.

My style is moody romance w/ a touch a fun and whimsy! I’ve been a professional photographer for a little over twenty years.
