There are so many beautiful engagement session locations in Birmingham, Alabama. My brides are always asking me what locations I would recommend for their engagement session so I decided to compile my top favorite places in Birmingham. Check out my favorite 13 spots and let me know which ones are your favorites!

 

1. Birmingham Botanical Gardens

This little spot is so dreamy!! The lighting is always perfect and the blooms are always beautiful! Spring time is my favorite time to shoot here, but there are some other great options at the Botanical Gardens even in the winter.

2. The Greenhouse at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens

This is always such a fun twist to your typical outdoor locations. The cactus and the greenhouse vibe make for such great variety in your engagement session.

3. Railroad Park

Railroad Park is always top on my list of places to take my couples! You can have a city look mixed with some nature. The tall wispy grass is a must when shooting at Railroad Park!

4. The Magic City Sign

Again, if you are in the area of Railroad park, the Magic City sign might as well be another little spot you hit up!! How cute is this “in the street” shot!

5. Morris Avenue

Morris Ave. is definitely a hotspot. You can’t visit Morris Ave without seeing at least 2-3 other photoshoots happening. But you can see why, right? The cobblestone streets, the downtown vibe the glow – it’s a great photo spot.

6. The Club

The views are just unlike any other. I am 99.9% sure you have to be a member or know a member to have access to this little spot, but it is totally worth it if you are!!

7. South Highland Church – Downtown Birmingham

South Highland is such a beautiful, historic church in downtown Birmingham. The architecture is just beautiful.

8. Aberdeen Road

Talk about beautiful sunset spot! Aberdeen Road is probably only familiar to the locals. It also gives you gorgeous views of the city!!

9. Highland Park

There is so much variety in the Highland park area, but one of my favorite little hidden gems are the cute little vine covered stairs!

10. Jemison Park

If you are looking for a woodsy area with, often times, beautiful lighting, Jemison Park is a great spot!

11. Grants Mill Field

A really pretty open field at Grants Mill! Perfect for any session, any time of year.
