It’s hard to believe this raw, natural gem resides just 20 minutes from downtown Dallas. At an elevation of 633 feet, Cedar Ridge Preserve is an untouched slice of hill country. The natural habitat spans an immense 600 acres of true wilderness, so you two can connect with each other - and your Texas roots. It’s what Dallas engagement photography is all about!

Stroll along nine miles of scenic trails surrounded by native trees and grasses. Stage a romantic picnic accompanied only by a panoramic view, or showcase your adventurous side by connecting with the wild mammals, birds, insects and reptiles that call this beautiful place home. 

Within the scenic grounds of this Dallas engagement photography location, you’ll find glimmering ponds and streams inhabited by lily pads and swaying grasses. Stay for golden hour to capture some magical shots where the sun sets everything aglow.
