Valentine’s Day is coming up!
Since it’s an Instagram world and we all have to live in it, I’ve compiled a list of local spots to take obnoxiously adorable photos with your sweetheart on V-day. You won’t be the first couple to take photos here and you can count on your future kids barfing when they see these cutesy photos of their ‘rents, but heck, it’s your love and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. If you want to suck face in front of Jo’s Coffee while a professional photog snaps your photo, suck away.
Note to Austin-area business owners: If you want to receive a lot of foot traffic and free press, put a romantic mural on the outside of your building. Thank me later by giving me free swag from your business.
What do you think is the most romantic spot in Austin?

Another place that has a lovely skyline shot as well as some other gorgeous places is Butler Park on Riverside. We did a family photoshoot there, and while we weren’t going for romantic, it was pretty and fun and looked awesome 🙂
Oooh! I will have to check that out! Thanks, Cathy!
Triumph Cafe continues to win awards for the most romantic patio.
Neat! Where is that? I can’t believe I haven’t heard of it!
Great list.
Thank you!
Patterson Park on the East Side at the flamingo clay wall thing. It’s super beautiful. Love this post!
Neat! Where is that? Everyone is coming up with great suggestions!
