Engagement Portrait Locations

Next to choosing a wedding date and venue, one of the first things couples start thinking about after they become engaged is where to have their engagement pictures taken.

Richard and Kelsey thought about that, too... and decided to have their pictures shot in three separate locations in and around Springfield, MO!

Although their engagement session took place in early January, we got lucky with the weather.  The skies were blue, the sun was shining, and the air was just chilly enough to give Richard and Kelsey an extra reason to cuddle.  Not that they needed it:)

We started shooting their engagement pictures at Nathanael Greene - Close Memorial Park in Springfield.  Later, we went to the spot where they became engaged--and met their dog, who was waiting patiently for them to arrive!

Finally, we finished the shoot in downtown Springfield, to give their engagement picture locations a little extra variety.

Here are some sample pictures from this wonderful couple's engagement photography session on Sunday, January 6, 2013...

These are of course just a small sample of the finished engagement pictures we delivered to Richard and Kelsey.  But hopefully it gives you an idea of the variety of poses, locations, and moments that we're able to capture in a 90-minute engagement portrait session.

Close Memorial Park Engagement Portraits

Q: What has three heads, eight legs, and a whole lotta love?

A: Jami and Brad's engagement portraits!

Here are some of the final images we delivered to this awesome couple who brought their dog Nero along for a Sunday afternoon engagement portrait shoot at Nathanael Greene Close Memorial Park in Springfield.











As you can tell from Jami and Brad's pictures, Close Memorial Park is one of the best (and most popular) locations for engagement portrait photography in Springfield, MO.

The park offers everything from a tranquil lake lined with beautiful weeping willow trees and benches, to several barns and bridges.  And if that doesn't suit your tastes, the adjacent Botanical Gardens are filled with plants, flowers, and scenery for that perfect backdrop.

To avoid conflicts with wedding photography commitments, I typically schedule engagement portrait sessions at Close Memorial Park, and other locations around Springfield, MO on Sunday afternoons. 

While many couples prefer the natural surroundings of the park, I can also suggest several more urban locations around the city for your engagement portraits, too.

Regardless of the location, I always encourage couples to bring along at least one change of clothes, as well as any "props" to help make their engagement portraits special and unique--including dogs and other pets!

If you'd like to see pictures from other engagement portrait sessions I've shot in and around Springfield, please visit our Springfield Missouri wedding and engagement portrait photography website anytime. 

The sessions normally last from 60 to 90 minutes, and our fee is $250.  Afterwards, you'll receive all of your finished and retouched images on a high resolution disc with a copyright release.  You can then take the disc to the photo counter or lab of your choice to order prints, enlargements, photobooks and more!

As always, thanks very much for reading, and please join me in wishing Jami, Brad, and Nero all the best!!

Nick
