Sacramento's historic Old Town has everything for the perfect on-location photo shoot: historic buildings, a picturesque riverfront, tons of railroad rolling stock from the nearby California State Railroad Museum, and close proximity to our golden Tower Bridge!
Old Town Sacramento offers several square blocks of restored brick buildings from the mid-nineteenth century, holdovers from the era of early California statehood. With the Gold Rush in the late 1840s, inland river ports like Sacramento served as bustling supply hubs for eager miners. Today, Old Sac's a major attraction for tourists and locals looking to shop, eat, and enjoy the museums and exhibits, not too unlike another famous old neighborhood in an iconic river delta region - New Orleans' French Quarter.
The old-timey architecture is just what the Steampunk or Victorian cosplayer ordered, while the railroad museum's outdoor train exhibits are perfect for mid century travel-themed imagery. If you want to evoke the romance of the rails in your shoot, Old Town Sacramento is the place for you!
The neighborhood is also right next to Tower Bridge, offering stunning gold trusswork as a backdrop for your vintage or modern pinup photo shoot. In short, the area offers lots of visual variety in one compact area, so consider the possibilities!
