Best Photoshoot Locations In and Around Baltimore, Maryland

Written By Alex Hedley

Whether it’s rustic, open fields or city, urban vibes, I have the places just for you!

My favorites are in bold!

(Please email or contact me directly if you’d like to see photos of any certain locations)

CITY/URBAN

  • Mt. Vernon - Here, you can create a look of many feels from the old church buildings & architecture, to a more hip and modernized look in the nearby hotel lobbies. Even with the spurts of parks throughout the town, you can look like you had over 5 separate sessions in one! My favorite is the Revival Hotel.

  • Fells Point - With the water, cobblestones, and many shopping opportunities, any city that allows for walking is perfect for capturing a variety of shots.

  • Inner Harbor Parking Garage - or any parking garage for that matter. This is great if you are in a city, and want to change it up a bit to get a more minimal backdrop.

  • Federal Hill

  • Canton

  • Hampden

  • Patterson Theatre - You can include city with nature since this location is right across from Patterson Park. Best of both worlds!

  • Harbor East - One of my favorites, because there’s nothing I love more than a coffee shop stop for some pics!
