If you’re newly engaged and searching for the best engagement photo locations in Dallas Fort Worth, you’re in the right place. I’m Josie, a DFW wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience, and I’m sharing my favorite engagement session spots across the metroplex. It’s a new year, and I’m willing to bet you – or someone you know – got engaged over the holiday season. And all I have to say is: congratu-freakin’-lations!
Not only did you survive a season full of family gatherings, sugary treats, and festive libations… you also got engaged. Woo woo! And now? The real festivities begin.
One of the very first questions that pops into everyone’s head when planning a big celebration is:
“Okay… so what now?” And I’m here to help answer that question…..at least from a photographer’s standpoint.
I’m Josie, owner of Moxie Artistry, and I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area (and beyond, honestly – I’ll shoot anywhere), and today I’m sharing a cute lil’ list of some of the best engagement photo locations in Dallas–Fort Worth.
You know the photos I’m talking about:
- The ones you use for your save the dates
- The ones that go on your wedding invitations
- The ones you use to officially announce this huge life moment
- And the ones that give you an excuse to get all dolled up, do your hair, and absolutely slay—just because you’re celebrating you and your person
Yeah. Those photos.
