One of the questions I get asked most frequently is \u201cWhere should we take our engagement photos in Columbia?\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of the sessions that I post are on family owned property, or the clients have special permission from a friend to use the location. I always recommend thinking about these options first. If the location is unique and has special meaning to you, it will always add value to the session.<\/p>\n

But what if you don\u2019t have any special places in mind, and you don\u2019t know anyone with beautiful property?<\/p>\n

No problem! Columbia has some excellent options for engagement session locations. Many of the ones listed here are free and open to the public. Others may take a little planning or require a fee, but are often well worth it! Either way, you have plenty of great options to choose the perfect location for your engagement session!<\/p>\n

1. Riverwalk<\/h2>\n

Columbia has several beautiful places to access the river. Since the flooding in October, some of the access is limited, but there are still some great options!<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite places around the river:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gervais St. Bridge (both sides)
Cayce Riverwalk
Blossom St Ruins
Columbia Riverfront Park
Columbia Canal<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

2. The South Carolina State House<\/h2>\n

One thing I love about the State House is that it has been designed to look great all year. There is almost always something blooming, and plenty of green. You can get a great outdoor\/garden feel, but then also take advantage of the unique architecture. Not to mention, the State House is a great way to show off your South Carolina heritage. Nothing says \u201cColumbia\u201d more than pictures at the capital.<\/p>\n

Another bonus is that the State House is centrally located, and it would be easy to walk down Main Street, to the Horseshoe, or to The Vista.<\/p>\n

3. The Horseshoe<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve done DOZENS of sessions at the horseshoe, and yet every time I still find something new. There are so many nooks and hidden places to explore. The Horseshoe is great at any time of day because there is always shade. In fact, early morning is one of the most beautiful times on the horseshoe. If you\u2019re thinking about doing a morning engagement session in Columbia, this is probably one of your best options.<\/p>\n

This is also a perfect place to do a session if you went to USC, or if you are a big South Carolina Gamecocks fan. The Horseshoe is iconic to the University of South Carolina, and while you have the option of showing off your love for USC, you can also have a generic session here if you aren\u2019t a Carolina fan \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Speaking of being a Carolina fan, I\u2019m not including these on the main list of best places in Columbia for sessions, but if you want to go all out, it is possible to do your engagement session at Williams Brice Stadium, or at the Gamecocks Baseball Stadium!<\/p>\n

4. Lace House & Gardens<\/h2>\n

\t\tMost people don\u2019t even know that the gardens at the Lace House are open to the public on weekdays from 9-5. These gardens are immaculately kept, and are a perfect option for a slightly more traditional session. Lots of arches, brick, ivy, and fountains.

5. The Vista<\/h2>\n

\t\tThe Vista is a great place for an engagement session if you are looking for a more urban feel with lots of brick, alleys, colorful walls, and historic buildings. The environment is perfect for more formal attire. The Vista is also a great place for shooting at night if you want some engagement photos after dark!

6. Main Street<\/h2>\n

Main Street has some really nice opportunities for photos if you are creative. Some of my favorite things include looking back at the Capitol, getting reflections in buildings, alleys, and if you\u2019re feeling adventurous, even going inside of some of the buildings (I have been kicked out before, so don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you lol).<\/p>\n

Another cool idea would be going on Saturday morning during the Soda City market!<\/p>\n

Bonus: Mix and Match<\/h2>\n

The first 6 locations in this post were intentionally chosen to highlight some of the best places in Downtown Columbia. The great thing about these locations is that you can easily pick 2-3 for your session and drive between them in a matter of minutes. Usually, I encourage my clients to bring two outfits and pick one location for a formal wardrobe, and one for a more casual feeling.<\/p>\n

So far we\u2019ve covered easy locations that are free and open to the public. These are great options when you just want to keep things simple and casual or if you are pressed for time.<\/p>\n

However, with a little planning, there are plenty of other options to consider! I\u2019ll share a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n

Other Notable Places<\/h2>\n

There are quite a few places that I\u2019ve found over the years where you can stop on the side of the road and take a few quick shots. I don\u2019t recommend trespassing, but sometimes you can get some beautiful shots in a random parking lot or in the middle of the road. Be sure to take notes of these little places where you can stop between other main locations. These can also come in really handy on wedding days!<\/p>\n

There are also several places where you can shoot if you pay for admission or make arrangements with the venue owner. Often these require a fee outside of admission, which varies based on the location.<\/p>\n

5 Points<\/h3>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Adams Pond<\/h3>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Wavering Place Plantation<\/h3>\n

\t\tThis is literally one of the most beautiful properties in the midlands. There is a fee to set up a session if you aren\u2019t having your wedding there, but if this is the look you\u2019re going for, it is WELL worth the fee. You won\u2019t find this anywhere else in Columbia.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The Main Branch of the Richland County Public Library<\/h3>\n

\t\tNote: you might want to get permission for this. We did for this session, and STILL got kicked out by security. Cool idea, but might not be feasible depending on how you do it. Please be respectful of other patrons and their rules.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Sesquicentennial State Park<\/h3>\n

The South Carolina State Fair<\/h3>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Williams Brice Stadium<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re hiring us to do your engagement session, I\u2019d be happy to make arrangements to do your session at Williams Brice. There is a fee required, and you\u2019ll have to schedule with their office. Hint: join the Gamecock Club and you\u2019ll get the best price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Congaree National Park<\/h3>\n

\t\tBe aware of mosquitoes. If you go at the wrong time of the year they will eat you alive. About 30 minutes from Columbia.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Lake Murray Dam<\/h3>\n

There are parks on both sides of the dam. One side is primarily a boat ramp (the Irmo side), and the other side (Lexington side) has a full park with a swimming area and more picnic shelters. The Irmo side also has a place to put in paddle boards or kayaks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Parking Garages<\/h3>\n

There are several to choose from, just scout them out beforehand. Again, please respect the rules posted.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Pine Island<\/h3>\n

\t\tYou\u2019ll have to be a member to access this space, but if you are, it is a really pretty location on Lake Murray!
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Peak Trestle Bridge<\/h3>\n

This little gem is only about 30-40 minutes from Columbia. Lots of trails provide a good variety for an engagement session!<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Random Places<\/h2>\n

There are quite a few places that I\u2019ve found over the years where you can stop on the side of the road and take a few quick shots. I don\u2019t recommend trespassing, but sometimes you can get some beautiful shots in a random parking lot or in the middle of the road. Be sure to take notes of these little places where you can stop between other main locations. These can also come in really handy on wedding days!<\/p>\n

Not to mention the dozens of small parks that exist all over town. Even if they aren\u2019t large enough for an entire session, you can always pick multiple locations!<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples of random places. A mural downtown, a random church parking lot, a small park in Earlwood (Marshall Park) and a small park in Irmo (Irmo Town Park). I seriously could have given dozens more examples, but I just wanted to show you that even small locations can really be worth considering!<\/p>\n

Day Trips from Columbia<\/h2>\n

Another thing I love about Columbia is that we are centrally located to SO many other amazing places. With a 2-3 hour drive, you can find a huge variety of locations. Everything from mountains to ocean, from big cities to enchanted forests.<\/p>\n

Charleston<\/h3>\n

One of my favorite places on the planet. Seriously, I could write another post that would be 10x longer than this one with engagement session locations in Charleston. Maybe I\u2019ll do that one day. At less than 2 hours from Columbia, this is an easy day trip, and you can even pick a few different locations if you want to do a longer session!<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Charlotte<\/h3>\n

The largest metropolis within 2 hours of Columbia, and again there are hundreds of locations to choose from.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Tallulah Gorge<\/h3>\n

\t\tIf you\u2019re up for an adventure, Tallulah Gorge won\u2019t disappoint! Be prepared for a hike though, this one isn\u2019t for amateurs!
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Enchanted Forest<\/h3>\n

Tallulah is an adventure, but at least there is a trail. If you want to go all out, we can find something unique. This location is one I call the \u201cEnchanted Forest.\u201d You\u2019ll have to park on an old service road, swim across a river, and find your way with no trail, but this place is one of the most magical places I\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The Blue Ridge Parkway<\/h3>\n

\t\tThis stretch is especially beautiful if you can go when the leaves are changing! Be sure to schedule plenty of time so you can stop in all the random places that catch your attention along the road.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

These are just a few of my favorites. There are literally hundreds of small towns in South Carolina with SO much personality. I\u2019ve done sessions in too many to count, and this post is already too long to include more! I mean, there are still major cities that I left off this list. Greenville, Myrtle Beach, Augusta, Sumter, Orangeburg, Camden, and the list goes on and on. Of course if you want to drive a little further you can easily get to Atlanta, Savannah, Asheville, and SO many other incredible places. They also make these nifty things called planes if you\u2019ve got a little extra money to spend. But this post is about Columbia lol.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re always up for an adventure. But I hope that in this post you\u2019ve been able to see that there are plenty of opportunities to get amazing photos right in our own back yard!<\/p>\n
