Canyon Lake Overlook Park is stunning for that amazing view. Cool off in the lake and enjoy the scenery. Although it is a little bit of a drive and hike, it’s totally worth it!
Keyword: Waterside, lake, tall grass, trees
This location also has some trees and greenery and a bridge that overlooks Canyon Lake that’s beautiful at sunset.Cibalo Nature Center
Cibalo Nature Center is probably my favorite locations (along with many other photographers)! Although it can get busy, it never disappoints even on a cloudy day. It is a huge nature park with lots of tall, wispy grass and a river with huge trees along it. It’s a stunning location at sunset!Espada Park
This park is my little hidden gem. We have a couple of options here. There’s a beautiful river with big rocks that you can explore with your kiddos, and there’s a beautiful field of tall, wispy grass that the sun sets behind, making for stunning images!Pearl Brewery
The Pearl Brewery is also in central San Antonio and has more of an urban feel. It’s has a lot of variety, and there’s often a lot of people walking around, if you don’t mind. Nearby, you can go down to the San Antonio River, where there’s beautiful spots with waterfalls.
This is a great spot during the holidays because the Christmas lights are on and they have a huge tree in the middle.Brackenridge Park
Brackenridge Park is great because it’s in central San Antonio. If you want a place with beautiful, tall trees and greenery, this is the place for you. In the winter, the leaves turn yellow and orange. There are also a couple of options nearby: Witte Museum has some pretty structures or there’s a field of short, green grass where the sun sets behind it beautifully.Denman Estate Park
Denman Estate Park is another great location with colorful trees in the fall. There’s also a variety of other backdrops such as a bridge, ranch-like fence, and a lake in the center.Phil Hardberger Park
Phil Hardberger Park is a gem in San Antonio. It definitely gives me Cibalo Nature Center vibes with a field of tall, wispy grass.Hemisfair Park
offers the Tower of Americas in view and some great water features and bridgesJapanese Tea Gardens
The Japanese Tea Gardens is a gorgeous location with lots of beautiful colors and plants. This location is small with narrow paths and not wheel chair accessible, but it works for small families, graduates or children milestone sessions.Landa Library
Landa Library is a little, quaint place with a beautiful arched building with a few hidden nooks. This location is great for graduation photos and great for mini sessions because it’s small and you don’t have to walk a lot. It is wheel chair accessible. There is also a play ground, which is great to let the kids play after the session for some great candid photos.mcnay art museum
This location is one of my favorites. The inspiring architecture and gorgeous courtyard offer little to be desired. The surrounding yard offers plenty of greenery, water features, and an adorable gazebo. Confluence Park
Featuring a unique pavilion and river, this is a beautiful location for a variety of stylistic shoots. The pavilion and nature center offers an industrial vibe. In contrast, the river featuring waterfalls and bridges offer a beautiful nature scene.Espee Pavilion
This iconic venue was once a railroad terminal. It sports industrial and chic style. The venue’s design is a triumph of art deco style. Railroad tracks and unique urban architecture surround this spot and make for gorgeous photos.Locations: RestaurantsMenus
