Photoshoot Locations Near Vero Beach, Florida

By: Nicole Leiner Photography


Florida is such an incredible location for photoshoots. The weather is beautiful most of the time (besides when we get the occasional hurricane or thunderstorm) but even after a storm, the most colorful sunsets can come of it! Specifically, Vero Beach is a beautiful small town on the east coast that has lovely beaches that aren't too crowded and other lovely landscapes. This location guide will give you a few ideas for where you may want to have your photos taken. I often go location scouting so if you have a vision that doesn't quite fit these photos don't worry - we can find somewhere that does! All of the images included in this article have been taken by me.

South Beach Park

1702 Ocean Dr, Vero Beach, FL 32963


South Beach is one of my most popular locations - I am here at least once a week! Although the beach can be busy at times, this beach in particular has tons of open space, lovely dunes, and a lifeguard stand that is beautiful in photos. Popular for engagement sessions, senior portraits, and editorial photoshoots, this beach is a staple location to consider.

Riverside Park

3280 Riverside Park Dr, Vero Beach, FL 32963


Equipped with multiple gazebos, large oak trees, and the river, Riverside Park is a diverse location that has multiple opportunities for photoshoots. Alongside the river is an area with large rocks that looks lovely for senior portraits especially. This location is also only a few minutes away from the beach which makes for a great location pairing for photoshoots.

North County Regional Park

9450 Co Rd 512, Sebastian, FL 32958


If you are looking for a photoshoot location with rustic farms, large open fields, dirt roads, and tall wheat grass then this is the one for you. Sometimes the grass is freshly mowed a bit on the shorter side in some areas but it is such a large park that there is likely another field area with tall, wispy grass. There are also multiple baseball fields and an aquatic center with pools. You may even see a few deer and cattle while you're here!

Safari golf and Games

455 9th St SW, Vero Beach, FL 32962


Also commonly known as Safari Putt Putt, this is a nostalgic location for retro photoshoots. Perfect for couples who want to make a date night out of their photoshoot, there is an arcade room with vintage games, putt putt golf, and an ice cream bar. Also, you can meet Rainbow, a macaw parrot who has been there for over 20 years!

Downtown Vero Beach

2140 14th Ave, Vero Beach, FL 32960


Strolling up and down 14th avenue has become one of my favorite ways to spend a photoshoot! Downtown Vero Beach features historic buildings, shops, and restaurants all of which make for great backgrounds in photos. If you are wanting to incorporate lots of diversity in your photoshoot without having to drive to a second location then downtown is the place to go! It is also only about 7 minutes from the beach so could be incorporated into a photoshoot with two locations as well. The historic Vero Beach Theatre Plaza is especially beautiful in the evening with glowing neon lights if you're feeling adventurous and want to take photos at night with a flash.

Blowing Rocks Preserve

574 S Beach Rd, Hobe Sound, FL 33455


A location not in Vero Beach but only a couple hours away! Blowing Rocks Preserve is a Florida beach with lots of large rocks, crystal clear blue ocean water, and dark grey sand. These will not be your typical beach photos - they are so much more! With lots of warm, brown tones in the rocks, this location is stunning even on overcast days. *Requires an additional travel fee

WORTH AVENUE

150 Worth Ave, Palm Beach, FL 33480


Worth Avenue is definitely WORTH the extra drive! Strolling down Worth Avenue and passing luxury high-end retail stores, lovely fountains and courtyards, and the iconic clock tower always makes for a lovely photoshoot. I love photographing editorial fashion looks here along with senior portraits and engagement photos. I have also discovered locations within walking distance of Worth Avenue that have the same lovely aesthetic with less of the foot traffic. I never turn down an opportunity to go visit Palm Beach! *Additional travel fee required

INDOOR STUDIO

address provided upon booking


Sometimes in Florida you need a break from the heat for your photoshoot and the best way to do that is with an indoor studio! With ample backdrop colors to choose from, sets we can build, and control over lighting we can bring your vision to life. I find that studio portraits are perfect for brands, product photos, and for those wanting to incorporate funky props. Also, without the wind, heat, and humidity, your hair and makeup will need less retouching throughout the session!

Mckee botanical gardens

350 US-1, Vero Beach, FL 32962


If you're searching for a location that fully immerses you in nature then look no further. McKee Botanical Gardens is a beloved location in Vero Beach, Florida that has lovely ponds, trails, a waterfall, and even a giant mushroom! They also feature galleries of artist's sculptures throughout the garden and string up Christmas lights during the holidays.

"Blooming Flowers"

Vero Beach, FL misc


In the springtime, Vero Beach has lots of areas with gorgeous colorful blooming flowers. I have come across them everywhere from behind Target to behind random gas stations. If you want to incorporate flowers into your session I know where to find them!
