Our Favorite Engagement Portrait Locations

Engagement season is upon us. I love getting to travel around Houston finding new and exciting locations for portraits.

We have traveled throughout the Greater Houston area to seek out some great locations to take engagement portraits.

After several years of photographing engagements and portraits in the area, we have come up with a list of our favorite:

For an edgie/grunge/hip feel: The Graffiti park off of 59 and Leeland, on the East side of Downtown. The location is always hopping with people taking video and photos. I have taken a few couples here for their engagement portraits. Another location is in Richmond, just over the Brazos river there is a location that butts up against the train tracks that I love shooting at. This location is great because it has so much. You can take pictures by the tracks, the buildings in the area are all different colors and textures.

For a green/garden feel: Herman Park has a lot to offer. There are a few locations in the area that are gorgeous (especially when the azaleas are blooming). Some of the parks in the area require a permit to take professional photos at, however.

If you are looking for a more forest like look: by me is Jones Creek Ranch Park, but also one of my favorite locations to take engagement portraits is at Memorial Park (which is where my parents were married).

For a country/rustic feel: The Fullbrook neighborhood entrance (in Fulshear) has some rustic structures, however I am always looking for rustic locations. If anyone know’s of a barn with wooden fence and maybe some animals, I’m always game.
