When most people think about having a photography session in Asheville, NC, they envision their photos being taken on a mountain top with long range mountain views. This is a beautiful option for photos in this area, and I certainly love capturing my clients on a mountain top with epic views, but that’s not the only amazing place for photos in the Asheville area.

Downtown Asheville is also a beautiful place to capture photos. Whether you’re interested in family photos, couples photos, or even bachelorette party photos, there are many places right in the downtown area that are gorgeous and make for an incredible spot for photos. Tip: Morning photo sessions in Asheville are best because the streets and quieter, and quieter streets mean fewer cars and fewer people in the background of your photos!

One of my favorite areas for photos in downtown Asheville is near Grove Arcade. The arcade itself is historic and boasts beautiful architecture, inside and out. I love this spot because it’s unique and has beautiful natural light inside.

Very close by is a quaint cobblestone street that many visitors don’t find on their first visit, as it’s quiet and tucked away. This provides an urban street setting for photos, without many other people being in the back of photos, nor the high risk of standing in traffic. This street also has cute buildings that house shops and restaurants. Being on this street often makes me feel like I am walking in a pedestrian zone in a European city!

Another plus, is that even though you may be in downtown Asheville with tall buildings surrounding you, there are little known spots where you can still catch views of the mountains! One I will openly share with you, is the top of a nearby parking garage. Sure, it sounds dirty and loud, but in the morning hours before it fills up, it’s a beautiful spot for photos!

I know that downtown Asheville isn’t always the first chosen spot for everyone’s photos in this area, but with my experience, guidance, and tips, it’s truly a beautiful option!
