5 Instagram-Worthy Photoshoot Locations in St. Petersburg, Florida
You and I both know that when it comes to photoshoot locations in St. Petersburg, Florida, you have plenty to choose from.
The problem is choosing the best spot for your aesthetic and your comfort.
While I've gotten used to taking photos out in public over the years, I know firsthand how terrifying it can be when you put yourself on display.
Photoshoots can be nerve-wracking, but taking pictures in front of other people? Boy, does it take some getting used to!
That's why I'm giving you 5 unique photoshoot location ideas in St. Pete that are colorful, intimate, and Instagram-worthy.
5 Colorful Photoshoot Location Ideas in St. Pete, Florida
So, the obvious choice for a photo shoot is the St. Pete murals.
If you didn't know, both Tampa and St. Petersburg are known for their colorful street art. These murals are gigantic and hand-painted by local artists on the sides of arbitrary buildings.
They're so famous that it's become a tourist attraction in the form of a Mural Tour.
If you're camera shy, taking pictures in front of these murals is one thing. Adding that you might have an audience ramps up the pressure even more!
The five locations below have options for private sessions, so you'll feel more comfortable taking photos!
5. St. Pete Pier
The St. Petersburg Pier might be busy on the weekends, but it's a pretty relaxed environment during the week.
Plus, there are so many spots along the pier to bring your photo ideas to life:
The grassy hills
The boardwalk, and
The small, colorful shops leading up to the dock
These are all great options that give you an active and lively backdrop. For sunset photos, try your luck at the rooftop bar, Pier Teaki
We recommend going Monday-Friday during Golden Hour for peak photo ops and minimal distractions.
4. Sunken Gardens
The Sunken Gardens is located in the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Florida, and is known as a prime photoshoot location.
From the enclosed bridge to the plethora of vibrant flowers, this 100-year-old botanical garden is every color enthusiast's dream!
While it may be one of St. Pete's biggest tourist attractions, the 10-foot tall maze of greenery provides ample coverage for discreet photoshoots.
3. The Dalí Museum
The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida has an incredible facade if you want a modern aesthetic for your photos.
It's an art museum dedicated to Salvador Dalí, but there's no shame in coming here to bring your own art to life!
While everyone else is distracted by Dalí's famous pieces, you'll be able to get immaculate shots through the spiral staircases, the incredible skylight, or in front of the glass entryway (which is where we took this photo!)

Station House is so sought after as a photoshoot location in St. Petersburg that they offer private sessions for about $75/hour (2-hour minimum). And you get access to the whole building!
