5 Arizona Engagement Lake Locations

His jeans are slightly rolled up away from the ground as she carries her bohemian sandals in her hand and lifts the corner of her chiffon engagement dress.  There are sounds of shifting pebbles squeezing between their toes. Two sets of feet, one slightly ahead of the other set, tell the story of their love. The future groom is subconsciously leading his bride into an unbroken covenant of choosing to lead their family for as long as they live.

Beside them are the small brittle waves which come along up to refresh their pebbled and tired feet. There is something about this water. The shoreline becomes  a mystical place for them to enjoy their romance. Every time they come to this familiar place near the lake, they use it to its fullest capacity. Picnics, canoe boat rides, and slow walks together. This has become their second home away from home. Memories created just for the two of them alone to remember and cherish.

To capture a moment near a shoreline adds a mystical element for your engagement portraits. You can get moments on film such as jumping in the water together or watching a sunset. There truly is no better place to tell your love story than a gorgeous lakeside location. You’ll find yourselves peacefully engaged with each other while the lake itself will speak serenity all around you.
