What Happens When You Mix Moody Vibes with a Downtown Adventure?
When you think of downtown Lubbock, Texas, your first thought might not be romance—but this couples photoshoot will change that. While Josiah and Chloe got engaged under the stars (which you should absolutely go check out because they are so sweet and who doesn’t love an engagement that ends with looking up at the stars. We decided to celebrate and document their engagement by heading downtown. Picture the golden glow of sunlight, slow dancing, running through the brick streets, and quiet corners made for connection. This engagement photoshoot shows a love story told in love and laughter.
5 Reasons to Book Your Engagement Photoshoot Downtown
Want a session that feels different? Here’s why downtown Lubbock should be on your radar:
- Unique urban backdrops – e.g. Murals, alleyways, fire escapes… total editorial energy.
- Golden hour magic – Watch the city glow as the sun dips and street lights begin to light up.
- Quiet weekday evenings – More intimacy, less foot traffic especially with cars parked on the street.
- Edgy meets romantic – Think soft kisses in gritty alleyways. But make sure you look where you are sitting or leaning against. Lubbock tends to be a bit dusty all of the time.
- Outfit flexibility – From boots and leather to soft knits and neutrals. Because we will not be trekking through a field you also don’t have to worry about heels sinking into the ground.
Plus, the variety of textures and tones creates serious visual interest.
What to Wear for a Moody, Intimate Photoshoot Downtown
Styling can make or break a downtown shoot. Here’s what we recommend:
- Stick to neutrals and rich earth tones (black, rust, oatmeal, olive)
- Add layers for movement and mood
- Avoid bright patterns—let the city shine instead
- Wear comfortable shoes you can walk, run, and dance in
Basically, wear something that feels like you.
