Not too long ago, the City of Saint Louis opened the Citygarden. It’s this great little “urban oasis” right in the heart of downtown. Although I have yet to visit this lovely little spot in downtown, I am already in love with the idea of it.
Mark di Suvero for Citygarden
For those of you not familiar with Saint Louis, it’s a great town, but there has not been much to do downtown other than catch a St. Louis Cardinals‘ game (which I highly recommend), go to a St. Louis Rams‘ game or take a brewery tour at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery (which I also recommend, but maybe that’s because I used to be a tour guide there…I digress). When the Citygarden opened (which is free, by the way), it gave Saint Louisans a great new spot to get away to on a beautiful day, which we have been having a lot of lately. Plus you can bring your pets!
Not only is this place a fun spot to visit on a weekend (or for lunch on a weekday), but it is a great new spot for couples to get a few of their engagement or wedding photos. You still get the feel of a park, but you get that urban feel that is really popular in photography right now.
Now I’m really excited to get my photos taken in a few weeks by a great friend for a new little project I’m working on (more on this later).

My sister is a senior in HS, and I’m hoping to convince her to take her senior pics somewhere fun like this.
