Phoenix Area Engagement Photography

The Location

For this engagement session we headed to two different locations to really try to capture the wild west and open desert.  We started out at Goldfield Ghost Town and ended at Lost Dutchman State Park which is just outside of Phoenix.  The combination of the two areas really connected the theme of the session and showcased some pretty amazing views of Arizona.  Because of the way that the light hits Superstition Mountain, shooting here can be a little tricky.  Please inquire about the best times to schedule session at this location.

The Mountains

Superstition Mountain is truly the highlight at Lost Dutchman State Park.  This unique, red rock mountain is a gorgeous backdrop for engagement photos…or really any type of session.  The cool thing about this spot is that everywhere you look there are gorgeous mountain settings.  Even if you aren’t shooting the big red rock, behind you are more beautiful desert landscapes!  See more mountainous Phoenix locations here.

The Styling

This couple choose a sophisticated, classic look and color pallet for their engagement photos.  The black and white traditional clothing contrasted well against the neutral desert tones.  I love the single pink rose in several of the images just to add in that small pop of color!  I generally suggest wearing color for photos, but in a desert setting, black, whites and grays really pair well.
