Dallas is the capital of Texas, and a premier city to take your engagement photography. Whatever the tone you're looking to achieve in your engagement photos, Dallas offers plenty of options. If you're looking for something natural, you can head to White Rock Lake or Harry Myers Park. Looking for something architectural? The Dallas Arts District is for you. There are so many great spots for engagement photos in Dallas that it can be hard to narrow down. Here's a list of some of the most reliably gorgeous landscapes, neighborhoods, and backdrops that you'll find in the city.
07. DEEP ELLUM
What do you do when you want something vibrant and bold, but you don't want to travel to far from downtown Dallas? Head to Deep Ellum for a kaleidoscopic engagement photography backdrop.

Nowhere in Dallas melds modern architecture and natural greenery as well as the Dallas Arts District. The Dallas Arts District is a lovely match for couples looking to give their engagement photos artistic edge. You can stop by the Dallas Museum of Art to take advantage of its striking sculptures. Want to give your friends and family a backstage pass to your love story? There's no better place for your engagement photos than the Wyly Theater. With the Dallas Arts District, there's a variety of options to find your ideal photography location.
Deciding to get married is in some ways the decision to build a bridge between two people. Why not go a little (lightly) metaphorical with your engagement photography and head to Prairie Creek Park. Their show-stopping bridge features large, darkly stained wood planks that make for sensation framing in your photos. Prairie Creek Park is also home to fields of wildflowers. Of course, the most beautiful of the elements at Prairie Creek Park is the waterfall. If you want to capture the park at the height of its beauty, visit in the fall when the leaves are changing.
04. DALLAS ARBORETUM
The Dallas Arboretum is a sensational spot to score the perfect natural backdrop for your engagement photos. The park, located in the Dallas Fort Worth Area, is a lovely spot for photos year round. You'll be surrounded by mature trees-- and flowers in the spring and summer. The Dallas Arboretum also features some lovely stone steps and archways to add an architectural flourish to your engagement session. One hot spot that every couple recommends is the Crape Myrtle Allee, where two rows of trees lean together forming a dreamy terrestrial tunnel.
03. SAMUELL FARM
