Choosing the right location for your engagement session is a big part of setting the tone and style for your photos. Whether you're dreaming of towering redwoods, historic architecture, floral gardens, or coastal views, the Bay Area has it all—but narrowing down your options can be a challenge.
To help simplify the process, I’ve created a custom map called “Couples Photography Locations”—a curated collection of beautiful, photo-friendly spots perfect for engagement sessions. These locations offer a range of vibes, from peaceful nature trails to vibrant waterfronts, all handpicked for their visual variety and romantic atmosphere.
A few highlights from the map:
Fort Point National Historic Site – With sweeping Golden Gate Bridge views and historic architecture, this spot is perfect for moody, dramatic backdrops.
Seacliff State Beach – Ideal for couples who want sunset beach photos with pier silhouettes and open ocean views.
Santa Cruz Wharf – A vibrant, playful location with ocean charm, boardwalk energy, and nearby shops.
Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park – Step into a peaceful forest of old-growth redwoods—serene, timeless, and full of depth.
San Jose Municipal Rose Garden – A favorite for floral lovers, this lush garden is colorful and classic, perfect for spring and summer shoots.
Each pinned spot includes notes about the vibe, features, and accessibility so you can quickly decide what suits your style—whether that’s coastal, urban, floral, or forested. The goal is to give couples an easy-to-navigate resource to find engagement locations that feel right for you.
