An exciting part of the wedding planning process is the engagement photo shoot, where you and your significant other choose meaningful locations to capture those final moments before saying “I do.” With its idyllic riverfront setting, vibrant murals, and picturesque landscapes, Augusta is home to many stunning engagement photo locations full of Southern charm and beauty.

Whether your idea of the perfect pic is surrounded by nature or a backdrop of colorful street art, Augusta offers something for all tastes. These are the best places for engagement photos in Augusta.


The Riverwalk

The Augusta Riverwalk winds along the banks of the Savannah River. Every stop along the way offers Instagram-worthy backdrops, but a few tried-and-true engagement photo spots are the 5th Street Pedestrian Bridge, which has panoramic views of the Savannah River, and the many gardens along the riverwalk. Local Tip: visit Augusta Riverwalk at sunset for the ultimate shot.
 

Broad Street

Broad Street is home to many of Augusta’s most beloved outdoor murals. Those looking for a creative and colorful engagement photo shoot can simply stroll along the street, which runs through the center of downtown Augusta. Some of the most popular outdoor murals on Broad Street include SoSal Augusta Mural, Get Up Augusta, and Keep Downtown Augusta Funky.

Augusta Sculpture Trail

Another favorite engagement photo spot for art lovers is the Augusta Sculpture Trail. This outdoor attraction features 15 sculptures created by nationally renowned artists. From dreamy to whimsical, these public art sculptures make the perfect backdrop for unique engagement photos that are authentically Augusta.
 

Phinizy Center & Nature Park

For more traditional outdoor engagement photos, Phinizy Center & Nature Park is one of your best bets. This lush boardwalk winds its way through Augusta’s natural surroundings and is full of wildlife and beautiful greenery just begging to be added to your engagement photo shoot.
 

Augusta Canal

Augusta Canal is an urban green space hailed as one of Augusta’s most popular attractions — and a favorite spot for engagement photos. Augusta wedding photographers can help you choose the most scenic spots throughout the region, which include the canal itself as well as numerous nature trails and boardwalks. While Augusta Canal is a stunning engagement photo backdrop in any season, catch it in early fall when the changing leaves create a kaleidoscope of colors.
 

Downtown Augusta

Sometimes the best engagement photos are the candid ones where you and your significant other are simply enjoying the things you love most. Maybe that’s sipping a cup of coffee at The New Moon Cafe, sharing a pizza at The Pizza Joint, or even savoring a glass of wine at Craft & Vine. Whatever your favorite pastimes together may be, downtown Augusta is full of custom engagement photo locations for history buffs, foodies, art fans, music enthusiasts, and beyond.
