Oklahoma's wedding film geography centers on two cities with very different personalities and a wide agricultural and ranching landscape between them. Oklahoma City has undergone a significant reinvention since the MAPS public investment program of the 1990s — the Bricktown Canal, the Myriad Botanical Gardens Crystal Bridge, and the Automobile Alley vintage commercial district have given OKC a walkable downtown wedding venue culture that its previous suburban sprawl image would not have suggested. The Oklahoma City National Memorial's reflecting pool and the surrounding Midtown neighborhood provide a different kind of urban context.
Tulsa is the state's architectural surprise: the concentration of intact Art Deco commercial architecture from the oil-boom 1920s in the downtown core — the Philtower, the Tulsa Club, the Mayo Hotel — gives Tulsa a built inventory for wedding filming that few cities of its size match. The Gathering Place on the Arkansas River, designed by the firm responsible for the High Line in New York, has added a contemporary public landscape that has become one of the state's most dynamic event settings.
Beyond the cities, Oklahoma has the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge — granite domes, prairie grassland, and clear mountain lakes in southwestern Oklahoma — and the lake culture of Grand Lake and the Ozark foothills in the northeast.
