Summer is a beautiful time of year, and there’s no better way to celebrate your engagement than with stunning photos taken at Sparks Lake near Bend, Oregon. From its peaceful shore, you can take in the views of the Three Sisters mountain range as well as the majestic snow-capped peaks of Mt. Bachelor in the background. Whether you’re taking part in an adventurous photoshoot or simply unwinding while enjoying a romantic sunset, Sparks Lake has all the perfect ingredients for an engagement session.
Don’t forget to bring along your furry friends and a blanket to snuggle up before or after your session! Whether you take your engagement photos it late in the evening once the sun has gone down and the stars have come out, or at sunrise when there’s still some fog lingering on the lake’s surface and alpenglow on the mountains – Sparks Lake is an ideal choice for a Central Oregon engagement session.
Sparks Lake is a favorite of many photographers across Central Oregon, so making sure you have a parking permit to secure your spot is essential. Don’t forget the bug spray, mosquitoes can be out during the summer months.
The Cascade Lakes Highway is open from the middle of May to late October, the winter season brings with it snow – which means the highway closes after October until May. With that said, if you’re interested in having an engagement session at Sparks Lake, you will want to book your shoot sometime either before or during this time window.
