Dogwood Canyon Engagement Portraits

One of my favorite places for wedding and engagement portrait photography in the Ozarks is Dogwood Canyon in Lampe, MO. 

Located about 30 minutes south of Branson, the non-profit nature park offers amazing landscapes, lots of private areas, and even a covered bridge!

I met Allison and Jeremy on a Sunday afternoon for their engagement portrait session.  We spent about 90 minutes walking around the park together, stopping every now and then to take some pictures.

Here are some sample images from this terific couple's engagement photo session:












I'll be shooting Allison and Jeremy's Branson wedding in a few months and look forward to it already... please join me in congratulating them!

As a Springfield, Missouri wedding photographer, I'm accustomed to photographing weddings and engagement portraits in a variety of locations throughout The Ozarks.  To see more images, as well as information on wedding photography packages and prices, please visit our website.

Branson Missouri Wedding Photography: Dogwood Canyon

When I first arrived to photograph Lori and Tom's wedding at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, I knew it was going to be a beautiful location.  After all, the sign does say, "Welcome To Paradise".


But I didn't know just how beautiful it would be.  Nestled in the Ozark Mountains between Branson and the Arkansas border, Dogwood Canyon is truly a hidden gem. 


I arrived about an hour early and snapped some shots around the park, all the while thinking what a perfect spot it was for a wedding.




The wedding chappel is located about 10 minutes from the entrance to the park.  There's a beautiful, tree-lined stream behind it, and a nearby cabin to use for final preparations.


About 15 minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start, one of Lori's bridesmaids came out, tapped me on the shoulder, and said, "OK we're ready".  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from her wedding...
















After the ceremony, we went outside to take some pictures of the just-married couple and their bridal party...









These are just a small sample of the memories I captured for Lori and Tom on their wedding day.  Please join me in congratulating this very special couple!

From Dogwood Canyon and Table Rock Lake in Branson, to the many churches and parks in Springfield, the Ozarks region of Southwest Missouri offers some of the most scenic backdrops for weddings (and wedding photography) in America. 

You can see many more examples of my Springfield and Branson MO wedding photography elsewhere on this blog, or online at http://www.coolchangephotography.com/.  As always... thanks for reading!
