Downtown Houston is a wonderful place for photography. All the architecture, and the shapes and lines it creates, offers a visually dynamic backdrop. Residents and visitors are encouraged to explore this area and to find random spots to snap photos. There is a bayou that runs through the city that makes a great subject for photography.

One of Houston’s most photographed sites is the 64-foot, U-shaped that has water rushing down it’s inside and outside walls. It was designed and created by Philip Johnson and John Burgee in 1985 as part of an international architectural team. The Waterwall pumps 78,500 gallons of recycled water every three hours and 20 minutes. Many engagement photos have been photographed in front of this large, watery backdrop.
