While it\u2019s best known as the setting for an iconic scene in the movie <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rocky<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there is so much more to the museum that makes it a perfect backdrop for photos according to photographer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolynclementphotography.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carolyn Clement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Michael Gazaleh of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityrunningtours.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">City Running Tours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFew things are more Philly than the Art Museum with its famous steps and Rocky statue,\u201d\u00a0 says Clement. \u201cBut did you know that located behind the museum many beautiful places are waiting to be explored? The Azalea Gardens, Sculpture Garden, Waterworks, Kelly Drive, and Boathouse Row are among my favorite locations for family photoshoots and they are all within minutes of each other. I love the Art Museum and Azalea Gardens because no matter my client&#8217;s home decor, we can find a background to compliment everyone&#8217;s aesthetic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Old City<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Old City Historic District is known for historic landmarks like Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the Liberty Bell. The architecture and attractions make it a prime place to take pictures in Philly. \u201cMy favorite place to shoot in Philadelphia is Old City,\u201d says Jajhira Herbert of\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jajhiraphotography.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jajhira Photography<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThe area has a slower vibe than Center City, so walking around to view all Old City has to offer is fun and easy. Old City is also versatile, there are so many backdrop options to choose from that you can really have fun when styling yourself or your clients.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Logan Circle<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as Logan Square, Logan Circle is located in the northwest quadrant of Philadelphia and features an open-space park. \u201cI love taking pictures in Logan Circle,\u201d says tour guide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourguidenick.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nick Cvetkovic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cAs subject matter the green patina Swann Memorial Fountain and City Hall are favorites. There&#8217;s a flag-draped tree-lined view toward the Art Museum as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S Broad Street (in front of City Hall)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This location is a favorite for Philly pictures due to its proximity to City Hall and other local landmarks. \u201cEvery Philadelphian local has witnessed tons of bridal parties, graduates, and groups of friends taking photos in the middle of S. Broad Street in front of City Hall,\u201d says Matt from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phillysfoodtour.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">City Food Tours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThis iconic spot showcases one of Philadelphia&#8217;s most gorgeous buildings in the background; City Hall was constructed between 1871 and 1901, and is the world&#8217;s largest fully-masonry building.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-76548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"philadelphia photos by city hall\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-2-1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lori from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ringshotphoto.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingShot Photograph<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">y<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also recommends taking photos by City Hall. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This location embodies all that is Philadelphia with cars driving by on either side and cheering for our couples by honking in celebration,\u201d she says. \u201cBesides the Historic Liberty Bell, City Hall is one of the most unique, impressive, and recognizable structures in our city as it is topped with the iconic statue of Philadelphia founder William Penn. It is also the largest municipal building in the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merchants\u2019 Exchange Building<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a fan of old-school architecture, the Merchants\u2019 Exchange Building in Old City is a perfect place to take pictures in Philly. The building was constructed in the 1830s as a centralized exchange building during a period of economic growth in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cMy favorite photo op in Philadelphia is in front of Old City Philadelphia&#8217;s Merchants&#8217; Exchange Building,\u201d says Amber Permsap of\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amber-dawn.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amber Dawn Photography.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cAs a wedding photographer located in the Philly area, it&#8217;s one of my favorite spots to recommend to my couples for their engagement photos. This historic landmark, full of old-world charm, is a must-see, featuring a rounded marble facade and soaring pillars, all surrounded by cobblestone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philadelphia Navy Yard<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This landmark began operating in 1871. It was built to replace the city\u2019s original naval yard which began in 1776 and was the first naval shipyard in the United States. It&#8217;s a great place to take pictures in Philly that capture a piece of the city&#8217;s history. \u201cThe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/navyyard.org\/information-and-directions\/walking-tour-visitors-guide\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philadelphia Navy Yard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great American landmark that has been transformed into the most successful commercial redevelopment of a former military facility in the country,\u201d says Jackie Hall of PIDC Philadelphia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cVisitors can come to the Navy Yard between sunrise and sunset and enjoy the history, architecture, ships, public art, parks, and beautiful waterfront, and take the self-guided walking tour which offers endless photo opportunities. One of our favorite photo ops is of the USS John F. Kennedy, located at 16th Street at the river, a supercarrier and the last conventionally powered carrier built for the U.S. Navy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Magic Gardens<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philly\u2019s Magic Gardens are home to various works of art from around the world. Located on South Street, the gardens feature both indoor and outdoor displays. \u201cIt&#8217;s a really cool and unique spot to check out when visiting,\u201d says Nancy Sevilla of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fancynancista.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fancy Nanc-ista<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> blog. \u201cIt&#8217;s a mural marvel. From old bicycle wheels to glass, they built the gardens entirely from recycled materials. You can weave down different rows and stairs in the gardens, much like a maze. Each object in the installation is unique, and no two objects are alike.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76465 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4.jpeg\" alt=\"places to take pictures in philly: philadelphia magic gardens\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4-225x150.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4-945x630.jpeg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/philly-photos-4-450x300.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wissahickon Creek<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy taking photos at Wissahickon Creek, which empties into the Schuylkill River and runs through Fort Washington State Park.
