Senior Photos in Historic Downtown St. Augustine

Mainly the Castillo de San Marcos and the bayfront, plus St. George Street and the surrounding historic district. There's also a quiet park nearby with big oak trees and open grassy fields for a softer, more natural look. We'll pick the mix based on your style and the light that day.

Sunrise at the Castillo, to beat both the crowds and the heat, or golden hour along the bayfront. Both give completely different but beautiful results.

It's a busy tourist area, so plan ahead. Metered spots, pay stations, and the Historic Downtown Parking Facility are all options, generally a few dollars an hour depending on the time of day.

Yes. The City of St. Augustine requires a film, video, and photography permit for professional sessions downtown, along with proof of liability insurance. This is handled as part of planning your session, so it's one less thing for you to worry about.

Sunrise and golden hour dates book up first, especially during the busier tourist season. Booking early keeps your timing flexible.

Yes. St. Augustine Beach and Vilano Beach are both about 10 to 15 minutes away, and Guana Reserve is close by too, right along A1A between Vilano and Ponte Vedra Beach, so if more than one of these is calling to you, we can build a session around combining them.

When your session falls during St. Augustine's Nights of Lights season, mid November through mid January, yes. After we wrap up your main sunset or golden hour portraits, we usually stay an extra thirty minutes or so to catch a few bonus shots downtown under the lights, a little holiday fun mixed into the end of your gallery rather than the whole session.
