Planning a Downtown Flagstaff, Arizona Proposal Photoshoot

Couple

Tips on how to keep your proposal a surprise & secluded Flagstaff locations.

Downtown Flagstaff, Arizona has a culture of local restaurants inside historic buildings. Therefore, a downtown Flagstaff, Arizona proposal photoshoot is one incredible location I recommend. Lucas decided to propose to his girlfriend where he asked her to be his girlfriend a year before. The Hotel Monte Vista, in the lounge known as Rendezvous, is a sentimental spot for this couple. How sentimental is that! I came early to the lounge to set up a bouquet of a dozen roses on a reserved table. When the couple walked in, Ashley was greeted with a soundtrack of their favorite songs that Lucas had created. It was a honor to capture this special moment for a beautiful couple. The Hotel Monte Vista created an iconic backdrop for this Flagstaff, Arizona proposal photoshoot.

5 Best Fine Dining Restaurants For After Your Flagstaff, Arizona Proposal Photoshoot

After the Flagstaff, Arizona proposal photoshoot, Lucas took Ashley to an Italian restaurant on San Francisco Street called Teatro. This couple raved about the authentic Italian cuisine coming straight from Italy!

Other personal favorite restaurants of mine are Josephine’s Restaurant, for a cuisine that is the closest to a home cooked comfort meal. The 1899 Bar and Grill has a steakhouse flare located on the stunning NAU campus. A perfect spot for an evening stroll through campus. Would you enjoy views overlooking Flagstaff golf courses? The Oakmont Restaurant will be a perfect evening out complete with views of Mount Elden! It is a cozy neighborhood resturant in the heart of Continental Country Club with American cuisine. If you are looking for craft cocktails, dinner and live entertainment, then head over to The Weatherford Hotel. The basement of this hotel hosts amazing bands at The Gopher Hole. While you can walk upstairs and overlook the city lights of Flagstaff with amazing craft cocktails. If you prefer breweries with outdoor fire pits and a dog-friendly patio check out Mother Road Brewery .
