Wedding photography is a precious commodity lasting long after you exchange your vows. But even before you choose a wedding venue, you\u2019ll need to select a backdrop for your engagement shoot. Fortunately, locations for spectacular engagement photos<\/a> in Austin are plentiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether it’s a breathtaking view [of] nature, modern architecture downtown, or a brewery that has personal significance, it’s important to pick locations that reflect the couple\u2019s personalities,\u201d Austin wedding photographers Andy and Carrie Schneider of Andy + Carrie Photography<\/a> describe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, your engagement photos will not only help you capture your essence as a couple when you announce the news<\/a>, but the session itself will also serve as great practice for your big day<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou and your fianc\u00e9 will get a chance to warm up in front of the lens and feel what it\u2019s like to have photos taken so that come wedding day, you\u2019ll already know how it works,\u201d Austin wedding photographer Nikkolas Nguyen<\/a> explains. \u201cYou and your photographer will also get to know each other and establish a relationship, which will ease tension. If your photographer feels like an old friend, you\u2019ll naturally feel more relaxed and open.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you plan the perfect engagement photos in Austin and the surrounding area, the Schneiders and Nguyen share their 15 favorite locations that will leave a lasting impression on your wedding guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Auditorium Shores<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"auditorium
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

“[Auditorium Shores<\/a>] offers scenic views of the downtown skyline from several different vantage points including the Long Center’s City Terrace which has unique architecture from the original 1950s structure,” the Schneiders say. “The Long Center is also a favorite location for couples wanting skyline photos at night. Additionally, it offers natural views of the neighboring Butler Park which has an open, grassy field, a pond, a fountain, and Doug Sahm Hill Summit. It’s also a dog-friendly area for couples that want to include their furry friends.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Auditorium Shores often has events and outdoor concerts, so it’s good to check the schedule online before planning an engagement session here. Also, it can get very crowded on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Boardwalk at Lady Bird Lake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"the
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

“A popular spot for proposals, The Boardwalk [at Lady Bird Lake]<\/a> is a new addition to the hike and bike trails with views of Lady Bird Lake and the skyline (which is especially beautiful at sunset),” say the Schneiders. “The boardwalk connects to the old trail which has giant trees for some natural views. Note that parking can be a challenge in this area, so it’s best to use a rideshare [service].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Texas Capitol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"the
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cA good spot for couples wanting to include some historic Texas scenery in their photos, the Texas Capitol<\/a> has beautiful grounds with gigantic trees and lush, green grass \u2014 while the interior is one of the few free indoor locations in Austin and a great rainy-day option,” say the Schneiders. “Our favorite spots inside the Capitol are the staircases and the dome. This is a popular tourist attraction, so if you are planning on photographing inside, we recommend checking the hours before going. Note: Weekdays are best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Downtown Austin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"downtown
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/strong>\u201cA great mix of old, historic buildings and new, modern buildings, Downtown Austin <\/a>features the iconic Congress Bridge (aka Bat Bridge) with downtown views and the colorful Tau Ceti (the tallest mural in Austin one block east of Congress on Second),” say the Schneiders. “Other highlights include colorful murals outside the Mexic-Arte Museum, the historic Driskill hotel, the modern art museum The Contemporary, and views of the Texas State Capitol in the background.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. East Austin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"east
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201c[Think] colorful murals, eclectic bars, coffee shops and breweries, a mix of old and new Austin, and large trees and grassy fields,” say the Schneiders. <\/strong>“The vibrant, colorful buildings in East Austin<\/a> are perfect for a more playful collection of [photos]. <\/strong>Festival Beach is also a popular spot for couples who want to include their dogs in some portraits.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Enchanted Rock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"enchanted
nikknguyenphoto.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the best possible places to have an engagement shoot? Enchanted Rock<\/a>! Even though it\u2019s about two hours outside of Austin, Texas, it\u2019s magical,” says Nguyen. “The massive pink granite dome that rises high above the surrounding plains gives you such a beautiful Texas landscape for some whimsical photos. And if that doesn\u2019t draw you in, the scenery and abounding rocky formations add a magical, enchanting feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"lady
nikknguyenphoto.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cThinking of more romantic, dreamy engagement photos? The gardens, natural areas and arboretum of Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center<\/a> in Hill Country would be my top pick,” says Nguyen. “The grounds provide a romantic backdrop for an incredible engagement session. If you go at the right time (hint: golden hour!) you can even capture some beautiful late sun rays falling down to give your photos that dreamy touch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. McKinney Falls State Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"mckinney
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>“[This is] a beautiful park just southeast of Austin with stunning landscapes (including ancient volcanic formations, small waterfalls and ponds, tree groves, and grassy fields with wildflowers in the spring). McKinney Falls [State Park] <\/a>is another weekday recommendation, as it gets very crowded on the weekends,” say the Schneiders. “There’s an entrance fee per vehicle as well as a photography permit fee. We also recommend wearing bug spray in the woods and only parking in designated parking lots to avoid getting a ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Moontower Saloon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"moontower
nikknguyenphoto.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a more laidback location for your engagement shoot, I\u2019d say consider Moontower Saloon<\/a>,” says Nguyen. “One of the many reasons why I enjoyed shooting here was because they allow dogs! In fact, the Saloon has over 11 acres of dog-friendly space with live music, patio bars, and shady oak trees \u2014 plenty of options for an adventurous yet easygoing session!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Seaholm District<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"seaholm
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cSeveral blocks downtown between West Cesar Chavez Street and North Lamar Boulevard, the Seaholm District<\/a> includes a vast variety of urban and natural scenery, plus skyline views, all within walking distance,” say the Schneiders. “The new, modern Austin Central Library, Butterfly Bridge, Seaholm Power Plant, Sand Beach Park, Open Room outdoor sculpture, hiking trails along Lady Bird Lake, and Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge are especially photogenic. Note: Austin Central Library requires a reservation ahead of time, and the Seaholm Power Plant has restrictions on the property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. South Congress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"south
nikknguyenphoto.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cOne of my go-to engagement shoot spots is South Congress<\/a> in Downtown Austin,” says Nguyen. “It always feels like an urban adventure when I\u2019m photographing there! This is because the vibrant streets of South Congress offer many spots for shooting. Some of my favorites include the South Congress Hotel with its modern flair and the South Congress Bridge with the iconic Austin skyline!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Schneiders agree. \u201cA bustling street with lots of unique, colorful storefronts and new, modern structures, South Congress is home to the ‘I Love You So Much’ mural at Jo’s Coffee [and] the legendary Continental Club. This is a great area for couples [who] are foodies and want some photographs documenting their love of food at some well-known local restaurants (i.e. Homeslice Pizza, Amy’s Ice Cream, Magnolia Cafe). … Because South Congress is such a popular location for locals and tourists, and parking can be a challenge, we recommend sessions on weekdays or early on weekend mornings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. South First Street<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"south
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

“The iconic \u2018Greetings from Austin\u2019 mural is located on South First Street<\/a> and connected to Roadhouse Relics (which also has some cool neon signs),” say the Schneiders. “Be prepared to wait your turn for photos in front of the mural. [Fortunately], other colorful buildings are within walking distance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. University of Texas Campus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"university
andyandcarrie.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

“: <\/strong>A popular location for University of Texas alumni, the University of Texas campus<\/a> has beautiful architecture, courtyards, large oak trees, some palm trees, an antique greenhouse, a turtle pond, and a vibrant pride of Barbados flowers in the spring and summer,” the Schneiders say. “Some couples walk across Guadalupe Street to The Drag for some more eclectic scenery including the \u2018Hi, How Are You?\u2019 frog mural by Daniel Johnston.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Wildseed Farms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"wildseed
nikknguyenphoto.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re heading toward Enchanted Rock, I also recommend checking out Wildseed Farms<\/a>, featuring one of the largest garden centers in the Texas Hill Country,” says Nguyen. “I love being able to walk the trails with my clients and using the lush flora on the grounds to capture romantic engagement photos!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Zilker Metropolitan Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"zilker
nikknguyenphoto.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a reason Zilker [Metropolitan] Park<\/a> is considered ‘Austin\u2019s most-loved park!’ It\u2019s buzzing with activity and carries such a fun vibe, making it a great location to photograph fun-loving couples who like to be outdoors,” says Nguyen. “I especially love the diversity of the park. It gives you many options for your shoot from the playfulness of the playground to the scenic overlooks that give you a beautiful view of the Austin skyline or Lady Bird Lake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
