Desert and Mountain Engagement Photos in Phoenix at Golden Hour

If you’re dreaming of an Arizona engagement photography session that feels both intimate and wildly scenic, Amanda and Kevin’s Phoenix engagement shoot is the perfect inspiration. We spent the day surrounded by desert beauty—just us, the mountains, and their love story unfolding in front of my lens.

A Secluded Spot for Phoenix Engagement Photography

After a full day of scouting, I found the most breathtaking, tucked-away location nestled in the desert outside Phoenix. No crowds. No distractions. Just towering cacti, native desert bushes, and the iconic mountains that make Phoenix engagement photography feel so special. Amanda and Kevin brought nothing but good vibes and their love for one another, which made photographing them feel effortless and genuine.

Amanda & Kevin’s Story

These two are the kind of couple that just gets each other. Amanda (an occupational therapist) and Kevin (a physical therapist) met through mutual friends in grad school, and of course they also matched on a dating app. Things moved quickly and naturally from there: meeting families early on, traveling together, and building a life side-by-side.

Their first date? Kevin picked Amanda up for an early dinner and then surprised her with mini golf. Fast forward 2.5 years, Kevin proposed while they looked out over a California beach at sunset. Amanda’s family were hiding behind the bushes for a surprise reveal, followed by a sunset photo session and dinner with all their loved ones. The next morning? A surprise brunch with even more friends and family. While Amanda had a feeling the proposal was coming, Kevin still managed to totally surprise her with when, where, and how.

Why This Desert Location Was Perfect for Their Arizona Engagement Photography

As a destination engagement photographer in Phoenix, I’m always on the hunt for natural locations that allow couples to feel like themselves and this one couldn’t have been better. We explored the natural terrain around the mountains, stopping whenever the light hit just right. The glow, the colors, the feeling of being somewhere just for them, it all made for unforgettable moments. Exactly what Amanda and Kevin envisioned for their engagement session! I am so excited to celebrate their wedding in Phoenix next year at Different Pointe of View at Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort!
