We love to photograph Dallas engagement sessions and fine art bridal portraits sessions since it’s the perfect shoot to allow us to get creative and deliver both traditional portraits for your mom and our artistic and passionate portraits that we are known for.

People always ask us where to find great locations for engagement pictures and bridal sessions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area? Even other Dallas wedding photographers often ask us for advice.

And while it’s nice to have a great backdrop and photo location for our sessions, it’s usually secondary in importance. What’s really important is the light, colors, posing, angles, composition, emotions and the expressions. That’s where our expertise and experience really shows, we know how to take an ordinary DFW location and make it look like a stunning location for our portrait sessions. You will be rewarded with beautiful portrait photos in one of the best photography locations in Dallas Fort Worth, whether it’s a garden, park or an urban location, it could be a spot that by itself doesn’t really stand out.

Both our Dallas-Fort Worth Engagement Sessions and Fine Art Bridal Portrait Sessions are a great opportunity for you and your fiance to become more familiar with us and the way that we work, and for us to learn more about both of you, what you want and to "break the ice" before the big day. The Engagement photo session is the perfect session to get casual and relaxed photos of you and your fiance, that really show your personality and uniqueness. You can then use the beautiful engagement photos and portraits from this session for the wedding reception, guest book and/or wedding invitation cards.

The fine art bridal portrait session has also the benefit of being a great opportunity to do a dress and makeup rehearsal before the wedding.

Our engagement and bridal sessions are all about having tons of fun while we create some stunning engagement photography and bridal photography in DFW!

Finding the right location for your engagement or bridal session can determine the feel and look of the pictures. When you search for places to take portraits near you, we suggest you to choose a location that "talks to you” and that reflects your personality. We have many great portrait locations that we like to use in the Dallas/Fort worth area, just ask us.

Some of these photo locations are also traditional wedding venues. Make sure to also read our recommended list of the Best Wedding Venues in Dallas-Fort Worth!
