If you didn’t know from a few of my previous blogs, I LOVE sand hills and Monahans State Park. Nestled in the heart of West Texas, is where we find the stunning backdrop for capturing Ashley and Trae’s ethereal and unique Texas engagement photos. Stepping into this desert oasis, one can’t help but feel transported to another world.
OKAY, was the moon actually behind them, absolutely not. But I could not help myself with the other worldly vibes. For couples seeking something different, Monahans State Park presents an ideal setting. The vast expanse of Sandhills offers endless possibilities for creative, editorial, and romantic shots. The contrast between the golden sands and the vast blue sky creates a stunning natural canvas, allowing photographers to play with light and shadows, capturing intimate moments in a truly enchanting environment.
Aside from its natural beauty, Monahans State Park also presents a practical advantage for couples mindful of their budget. Opting for engagement photos in this scenic location can be a more affordable alternative to a full-scale wedding photoshoot. It allows couples to allocate resources judiciously while still achieving stunning imagery that beautifully encapsulates their love story.
The park isn’t just limited to unique Texas engagement photos—it can also serve as an exquisite backdrop for an elopement ceremony. Couples can create a romantic and intimate space amidst the sand dunes, exchanging vows in a setting that feels both ethereal and grounded in nature’s beauty.
Just look at how stunning Ashley and Trae’s photos turned out!
Shout out to Ashley and Trae for trekking up the sand dunes for some of these really cool photos. And of course trusting me to capture just a bit of their relationship. For more fun and adventurous photoshoots take a look at this blog about an elopement I captured while visiting Iceland. Or this blog post for an engagement photoshoot at a waterfall in Yellowstone National Park.
