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 9 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. 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!
3. 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.
4. South Highland Church – Downtown Birmingham
South Highland is such a beautiful, historic church in downtown Birmingham. The architecture is just beautiful.
5. 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!!
6. 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!
7. Jemison Park
If you are looking for a woodsy area with, often times, beautiful lighting, Jemison Park is a great spot!
8. Grants Mill Field
A really pretty open field at Grants Mill! Perfect for any session, any time of year.
9. Somewhere Personal/Sentimental (coffee shop, first date spot or home/private property)
I love when my couples opt for one of their locations to be a personal or sentimental spot! It’s always a fun and fresh place for me to shoot. Think: first date restaurant, favorite coffee shop, childhood home, etc
