Downtown Phoenix, Arizona Engagement
Samantha Rose Photography
I’m so excited to finally put this blog post together from Kelsey & Suresh’s Downtown Phoenix engagement session. When you think of Arizona, you usually picture the red rocks & big saguaros - there is so much more than just the desert out here though. We headed down to Roosevelt Row to capture the urban vibe & murals by local artists. They chose this area because they spent a lot of time downtown & it’s right by one of their favorite bars in Phoenix - Angel’s Trumpet Ale House.
Looking for some of the best areas for photos in Downtown Phoenix? Here are some of my favorites:
Know Before You Go:
If you’re planning to have your engagement photos, couples photos, or even your senior photos taken in Downtown Phoenix - here is what to prepare for.
Bring change to pay for street parking or download the ParkMobile app & pay on your phone. There’s also garages throughout downtown, but if you’re planning to go to multiple areas, street parking is usually easiest. Check out this map here that shows you parking locations downtown.
Most locations you’re allowed to take photos at, but be respectful of the area & if there’s any signs that say No Photos Allowed - it’s easy enough to find a new area. If you’re planning on taking photos at a coffee shop or restaurant, it’s best to ask before you start if it’s okay.
There are public restrooms at Heritage Square, but it typically closes before sunset.
Always check the event schedule for Downtown (specifically Heritage Square) to make sure certain areas won’t be closed off).
Ending your engagement session at one of your favorite local spots (or even somewhere new), is a great way to celebrate & close out an evening filled with photos.
