River Walk:
This Golden Hour Shooting Experience will take place at the San Antonio River Walk (just a short walk from the Marriott Rivercenter). The San Antonio River Walk is a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, one story beneath the streets of Downtown San Antonio. The River Walk winds and loops under bridges, is flanked by two parallel sidewalks lined with restaurants and shops, and connects the major tourist sites including the Alamo, Rivercenter Mall and La Villita.
There are some great shooting spaces along the River Walk within easy walking distance of the Marriott Rivercenter. While the River Walk may feel narrow close to the hotel, as you move away from the hotel (in the direction of the Convention Center), you’ll find that space opens up quite a bit. And, of course, along the way you’ll find interesting details worth photographing. As you walk along the water, you’ll see a few areas up off of the water (next to hotels) that give you a bit of a “courtyard” feel. As you head to the Convention Center (the access point on the river), you’ll find a lot of space — both covered and uncovered — by the water.
