Bay Street: Urban Savannah Vibes with a Historic Feel
One of the most iconic photo locations in Savannah is right in the heart of the historic riverfront: Bay Street. Running parallel to the Savannah River, Bay Street offers a dynamic backdrop where cobblestones, historic architecture, and modern city life intersect.
Factor’s Walk
Factor’s Walk is one of the most photographed locations along Bay Street. This historic area is named for the “factors” (brokers) who worked here during the height of the cotton trade. The pedestrian bridges and historic iron steps, which originally connected warehouses on River Street to offices on the bluff above, have become some of the most photographed locations in the city.
Savannah Cotton Exchange
The Savannah Cotton Exchange is another architectural icon on Bay Street. With its Romanesque-style architecture, this building was once the center of Savannah’s thriving cotton industry. The warm earthy hues and intricate detailing on the building provide a beautiful textured backdrop of couples taking photos in Savannah.
Savannah Customs House
The beautiful and imposing architecture of the Savannah Custom’s House offers a grand backdrop for photos. This magnificent white granite building, featuring prominent columns, captures the elegance and history of the city.
Historic Streets and Walkways
The surrounding area provides endless variety of Savannah photos. The streets surrounding Bay Street are a captivating mixture of uneven cobblestone, antique stairs and ramps leading down to River Street below. Every view reveals a new, awe-inspiriting view of the river and city.
Emmet Par
For a touch of nature amid the urban environment, Emmit Park is a surprising oasis in the middle of the city. Trees populate the area, creating natural shade and a relaxing atmosphere on the bluff overlooking the Savannah River, offering yet another beautiful location for your session.
