If you’re dreaming of an outdoor wedding in Plano, Texas, Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve should be at the top of your list. As a local wedding photographer who has captured love stories here many times, I can say firsthand—this venue offers some of the most beautiful, natural backdrops in the DFW area. And if you're looking for a Plano wedding photographer who knows every hidden photo spot at Oak Point, you're in the right place.


Why Oak Point Park Is a Top Choice for Outdoor Weddings in Plano


1. Stunning Natural Backdrops for Every SeasonOak Point Park features over 800 acres of scenic beauty—think winding trails, sparkling water features, wooded areas, and sun-drenched open fields. It’s a venue that changes with the seasons, offering wildflowers in spring, lush greens in summer, vibrant foliage in fall, and a soft, golden glow in winter sunsets.


2. Perfect for Elopements, Micro Weddings, or Styled Sessions

Planning a smaller wedding or elopement? Oak Point is ideal. The natural setting requires minimal decor, and its versatility means you can craft a day that’s completely unique to you. Plus, it’s easy to obtain a permit, and there are ample spots for both ceremonies and portraits.

3. Endless Photo OpportunitiesFrom the intimate bridges and quiet creeks to wide-open meadows perfect for golden hour photos, Oak Point offers variety, privacy, and stunning light. I’ve photographed all across the park and can help you choose the best locations based on lighting, time of year, and your style.


Photography Tips for a Picture-Perfect Oak Point Wedding


  • Golden Hour = Must-Have Magic for the dreamiest wedding portraits, we’ll plan your timeline to hit that soft, golden light just before sunset.

  • Embrace the Natural Landscape You don’t need much décor at Oak Point. Nature already sets the stage—your love story does the rest.

  • Wear Comfortable (Yet Stylish) Shoes Trust me—some of the best photography spots involve a little walk. But it’s always worth it.
