You don’t have to shoot your engagement photos in a place everyone else does. What you do need is a place that feels like you. A place that brings out the subtle smiles, the inside jokes, the you-two-ness of your relationship. I’ve always believed that your engagement photo location should reflect your story. This season of life is about more than the outfits, lighting, or location (though, yes, I obsess over all of those, too). It’s about honoring the simple, meaningful ways you show up for each other. So if your first date was ice cream at Lake Hefner, your go-to escape is Broken Bow in the fall, or you want to wander around a neighborhood where you walk your pups—let’s go there. Below, you’ll find my favorite engagement photo locations in Oklahoma, which I’ve categorized by vibe so that it’s easy to scroll through.

I’ve included which city they’re in and whether they require a fee or reservation because transparency is everything when planning a session. This is your love story. Let’s tell it somewhere that feels like home.

Bonus Tips for Picking Your Location

Pick a place that matches your vibe—not someone else’s expectations.

You don’t have to prove anything here. If you’re a homebody, let’s do a cozy downtown or even an in-home session. If you live for long weekends in the woods, let’s hit the outdoors.

Be honest about logistics.

Is it going to take two hours to get there? Is there parking, or are we hiking uphill in formal wear? Are there fees or timed reservations? None of these are deal breakers, but it’s good to know in advance—especially if we’re racing the sunset or trying to avoid a crowd.

Think about the season.

Some places are magic in the spring when everything’s blooming, but sad in winter when it’s all mud and gray skies. Some spots are too hot to enjoy in July but dreamy in October. Let’s plan around what feels good to you—not just what’s technically available.

Mix it up if you want to.

No rule says you have to stick to one location. I’m all in if we’ve got a couple of places close together and you’re up for some adventure. One spot can be soft and romantic; the next can be playful and bold. It’s your story—we can tell more than one side.
