Top Engagement Photo Locations in Farmington, NM, Durango, CO & the Four Corners
You’re engaged—congrats! Whether you’re planning a wedding or just want to celebrate the moment, an engagement photo session is a chance to slow down, connect, and create something timeless. As a Farmington and Durango-based engagement photographer, I help couples find meaningful locations and natural light that match their energy—no awkward posing, just real connection.
Here are some of the best engagement photo spots in the Four Corners region, from forested hideaways to red rock overlooks.
1. Animas River Trail – Durango, CO
One of the most romantic and relaxed spots in Durango, this riverside trail offers bridges, benches, and winding paths under the trees. It’s perfect for candid engagement photos and soft golden light—especially in the fall.
2. Angel Peak Scenic Area – Near Bloomfield, NM
Just 30 minutes from Farmington, Angel Peak delivers sweeping canyon views and dramatic backdrops for couples wanting bold, cinematic engagement shots. Bring a blanket and we’ll catch golden hour with the badlands behind you.
3. Lions Wilderness – Farmington, NM
Desert terrain, textured sandstone, and quiet overlooks make Lions Wilderness Park a great choice for couples looking for that classic Southwest adventure vibe. Plus, it’s right in town.
4. Downtown Aztec, NM
If you’re into character-rich architecture and offbeat textures, downtown Aztec is an unexpected favorite. Brick walls, vintage signage, and charming corners give your photos an artsy, urban edge.
5. San Juan College Campus – Farmington, NM
For couples with ties to San Juan College, the campus can be a meaningful spot. The modern architecture and green pathways offer clean, balanced visuals for couples wanting a casual, put-together vibe.
6. Private Land or Ranch Property
Some of the best engagement sessions I’ve ever shot were on family ranches, backyards, or private properties that meant something to the couple. If you’ve got access to land with views—use it. I’ll help scout and set the scene.
