Maybe it’s just us, but between imagining a Hallmark-inspired movie in Winston-Salem and the holiday season in full swing, we can’t help but feel love in the air. Whether you’re looking for the perfect location for family photo shoot or a special place to capture romantic memories, we’ve got five picturesque spots for you.

Historic Bethabara Park

This one is for history lovers with a passion for Moravian heritage. The peaceful nature is the perfect backdrop for those who love simplicity and natural landscapes.

Reynolda Village

The carefully curated flowers at the restored Lord & Burnham Greenhouse will make you feel as if you’re on set of “The Great Gatsby” movie. The garden is maintained year-round with perennials and shrubs. Read the photography policy before heading out for your shoot.

The Quarry at Grant Park

Winstonians know this spot is where couples get down on one knee. The elevated dock showcases the city’s skyline in the background. You’ll even see locks others have placed symbolizing their love. Feel free to send us a wedding invite when the date is set.

The Heritage Bridge in Old Salem

You can’t miss this spot visited by thousands of people every year. The Moravian stars hanging through the strollway will make your Christmas card stand out from the rest this holiday season — especially for loved ones who live far away. Be sure to check the photography rules first.

This is where luxury meets history. Not only is New York City’s Empire State Building inspired after the former RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company headquarters, the building also represents the timeless traditions of the South. This spot is perfect for those who love elegance while embracing the thriving downtown scene.
