Las Olas & Riverwalk: the city by the river
A palm-lined boulevard and a promenade along the New River, with boats, bridges and lights that come on at sunset. Photos here have a city rhythm and a waterside glow.
Street, river and lights on one walk
Las Olas Boulevard is one of Fort Lauderdale's best-known streets, and the Riverwalk connects it to the New River. In a few minutes you go from storefronts and palms to open water and reflections.

Trees, palms and storefronts create an urban backdrop with color and depth.
The New River

The best light on Las Olas
This is an evening setting: we start in golden light and finish as the lights come on. We pick the day based on how busy the area gets.
- Golden hour: warm tones on the river and storefronts.
- Blue hour: deep sky and city lights, ideal for couples.
- Weekdays: fewer people on the promenade and more freedom to pose.
What to wear on Las Olas
Think of a chic dinner in the city. Rich tones and a bit of shine look great under evening lights.
- Midi or cocktail dresses in black, red, emerald or champagne satin.
- For him: a suit or blazer with an open collar; dark tones or cream.
- Comfortable heels: we'll walk along the promenade between shots.
- A second look is easy to plan if you change at the studio before leaving.
You shine; we coordinate
Some locations require a reservation, permit or venue fee. We confirm the current rules for Las Olas and the Riverwalk and coordinate it when you book.
- We shoot in public spaces and avoid private property without permission.
- Travel from Miami: on request. Any permit is listed separately, in writing, in your quote.
- We tell you where to park and where to meet.
Pair it with another location or the studio
Steps from the Riverwalk stands the oldest surviving building in Broward, and the coast is a few minutes away. For a set in controlled light, add a segment at our Miami studio.
