Downtown St. Pete

Downtown St. Pete is probably our favorite place to shoot in all of Tampa Bay. We love living here and everything it has to offer. St. Pete has a huge focus on shopping local and the arts community, with tons of museums and galleries and the iconic murals you'll find all along the alleys off of Central Avenue.

In addition to the bustling urban atmosphere, you can also find lots of great parks, marinas, breweries and coffee shops and never hit the same place twice. -Caroline, owner of Caroline & Evan Photography

St. Pete Pier

The St. Petersburg Pier, known locally as The Pier, is a landmark and tourist destination extending into Tampa Bay from downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. May 31, 2013 was the last official day for the public to visit the pier. The City of St. Petersburg, Florida had planned to demolish and replace it, until a voter referendum rejected the new Lens pier design. -Tammy Waterman, owner Special Moments

St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Art

The St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Art is an iconic Bay area venue for so many reasons. It is the most prominent building anchoring St Petersburg's vibrant downtown district. The architecture is very classic and modern at the same time. On the street facing Beach Drive, they have added greek ionic columns, whereas on Bayshore Drive the facade is much more modern with straight lines, lots of huge glass windows and steel railings. The parks and grounds around this building are stunning: from the gorgeous kapok tree that blooms the most vibrant color of red, to the huge banyan trees in the North Straub Park, to the gorgeous pergola at the entrance to North Straub Park covered in bouganvilla. -Andrea Layne, onwer Andrea Layne Floral Designs
