Dogwood Canyon Wedding Pictures

One of my favorite places to shoot pictures--especially wedding and engagement photos--is Dogwood Canyon in Lampe, Missouri.

Nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Southwest Missouri between Branson and the Arkansas border, Dogwood Canyon offers some of the most scenic locations and backdrops for wedding and engagement photography that I've ever seen.

Amy and Joshua's wedding ceremony took place in the Hope Wedding Chapel at Dogwood Canyon.  We spent about an hour together before their ceremony exploring the beautiful waterfalls, paths, and parkways on a guided tour, stopping at many locations along the way to capture their wedding photos.

If you're planning a wedding at Dogwood Canyon, I'd strongly suggest scheduling the guided tour with your wedding photographer, too!

Here are some sample pictures from this couple's special day...

Engagement Pictures - Lake Springfield

I have a new addition to my growing list of great locations for engagement pictures in Springfield, MO:

Lake Springfield Park!

In contrast to the paved walkways and beautifully maintained gardens at Nathanael Greene Close Memorial Park, the hills and cliffs around Lake Springfield shimmer with natural, seemingly untouched beauty... but do require a bit of mild hiking to get to the most scenic locations.

I spent about an hour walking (and hiking) in the park with David and Angel, stopping at many spots along the way to capture some special moments for their engagement pictures.  Here's a sample of some of my favorites:

These are of course just a small sample of the fully edited and retouched engagement pictures we shot and delivered to David and Angel.  Please visit our website to see more pictures from their engagement session, as well as many others from locations throughout the Springfield, MO area.

You'll also find information about our engagement and wedding photography packages and prices, including an offer to save $100 on an engagement picture session!

I'll be shooting David and Angel's wedding pictures in April, and already know it's going to be a very special day for this terrific couple.  Please join me in wishing them congratulations, and stay tuned for their wedding pictures!
