Top Engagement Session locations in Arizona

With so many gorgeous places in Arizona, how do you choose the best one for your engagement session?

Cave Creek, Arizona

Cave Creek, Arizona looks like a real life western movie set, but in the modern day. With beautiful hiking, plenty of horseback riding opportunities and a true-blue frontier town you will feel like you’ve walked back into time. And while there are some seriously fun places to go in Cave Creek, my favorite part is a little hidden gem that is one of Spur Cross & Jewel of the Creek. These gorgeous, tucked away hiking trails offer an incredible variety of scenery while also allowing you to get incredibly close to saguaro and offer the perfect, dreamy, desert backdrop for your engagement session!

Mogollon Rim

If you’ve never gone up to Payson, Arizona or to the Mogollon Rim, you’ll really think you’ve entered another state. With gorgeous northern Arizona pines and overlooks at every turn, you get to see a different side to the state that you probably haven’t encountered before. And while the Mogollon Rim is a popular stop for a lot of people, it’s the perfect location for the truly breathtaking engagement photos you’ve dreamed of – and while the drive is a little long, 2.5 hours from Phoenix, the scenery on the drive is quite remarkable too!

Desert Botanical Garden

If you haven’t been to the Desert Botanical Garden, trust me when I say, you are missing out. This location, while having a $20 entry fee per person, is so worth it for not only being able to see some of the most incredible plants and sceneries that showcase the whole of Arizona, but to then have those as backdrops to your engagement session – winning! From a gorgeous cottonwood grove, to the desertscape with Papago park in the background, to the cactus garden and so much more, it’s an absolute perfect spot!
