If you’re recently engaged (congratulations!) and planning a wedding in Peachtree City or the surrounding areas (Newnan, Tyrone, Senoia, Serenbe, or even Atlanta), your engagement session is the perfect warm-up before the big day. As a Peachtree City wedding photographer, I’ve really come to love our quaint little golf cart town. And as I putt around on our bright blue golf cart, I’ve seen so many PERFECT engagement photo locations right here in Peachtree City! We’re spoiled here with miles of golf cart paths, sparkling lakes, and lush parks — and that’s just scratching the surface.
In this guide, I’ll share:
- My favorite Peachtree City proper locations for engagement photos.
- Nearby scenic alternatives worth the short drive for more options.
- Pro tips to help you pick the location that matches your style and love story.
Whether you picture yourselves hand-in-hand on a lakeside dock, sharing a laugh under towering pines, or strolling cobblestone streets at golden hour, this list will help you find a spot that feels perfectly “you.”
The Best Engagement Photo Locations in Peachtree City, GA
1. Lake Peachtree Docks
Nothing says “romance” quite like sunset over the water. No wonder many love birds gather here to watch it, especially couples who are celebrating DECADES of marriage. The docks at Lake Peachtree offer sweeping views, soft evening light, and a serene backdrop. I love starting here and timing portraits just as the sky turns gold and pink.
Pro Tip: Wear soft, flowing fabrics — the breeze off the lake adds movement to photos in a way that feels effortless and natural.
2. Drake Field
This park is a local favorite for a reason. Open grassy areas meet the lakeshore, and in spring, blooming trees add dreamy pops of color. It’s perfect for couples who want a relaxed, airy session with plenty of variety in just one stop.
Best Time to Shoot: Early morning for calm waters and soft light, or golden hour for that warm, romantic glow.
3. Flat Creek Country Club Grounds
If you’re a member or have access, the manicured grounds at Flat Creek are stunning. Rolling fairways, water features, and classic Southern architecture make for timeless portraits.
Perfect For: Couples who want that country club elegance — think polished but still warm and inviting.
4. Golf Cart Path Overlooks
Peachtree City’s iconic golf cart paths offer little hidden overlooks that locals know well. Some wind past streams, others through clusters of pines. They’re perfect for creating a “just us, no one else around” feel. If you’re down for an “adventure” engagement session, we can find so many unique spots in a fun, relaxing golf cart ride! I’ll drive, you enjoy!
5. The Avenue Murals
For a more urban touch, the brick facades, staircases, and charming storefronts around The Avenue give off a quaint “date night in downtown” feel without leaving Peachtree City. There are even a couple murals we could use as backdrops (although the iconic Peachtree City one seems to be under construction as of August 2025, check back later on that one).
Bonus – You’d end up right near J. Andrews Bridal, so you could try to schedule your session on the same day as a dress shopping or tailoring appointment for a wedding-filled day! If you haven’t found your dress yet, my dear friends at J. Andrews are UNMATCHED and will be your one-stop for finding your dream dress.
6. Kedron Hills Neighborhood
North Cove Drive boasts some of the most beautiful mansion homes in Peachtree City! This quiet street features oil street lamps, cast iron fences, and beautiful public squares that look like the town in Disney’s Lady and the Tramp.
Nearby Scenic Engagement Photo Locations Outside of Peachtree City
If you’re open to a short trip, these nearby spots offer unique backdrops that can give your engagement gallery a completely different look:
1. Historic Downtown Senoia (15 minutes)
Famous for its preserved architecture and small-town charm (and Walking Dead filming locations), Senoia offers brick sidewalks, café patios, and historic homes — a perfect blend of sophistication and nostalgia.
2. Serenbe – Chattahoochee Hills (30 minutes)
Part European village, part countryside dream. Serenbe’s cobblestone streets, flower boxes, and pastoral fields make it feel like a destination session without the long travel.
3. Downtown Newnan (25 minutes)
For couples who want a bit of Southern city charm, Newnan’s courthouse square, historic buildings, and tree-lined streets make for elegant, classic images. Avoid busy days and times if you are nervous posing in front of strangers.
4. Callaway Gardens (45 minutes)
If you’re up for a longer drive, Callaway Gardens rewards you with gardens, lakes, and seasonal blooms that make your photos look like they belong in a magazine.
Tips for Choosing Your Engagement Session Location
- Think About Your Wedding Style – If your wedding is classic and elegant, choose a location with timeless architecture. For laid back or whimsical weddings, go for nature-focused spots.
- Consider the Season – Spring brings flowers, fall brings color, and summer brings lush greenery (plus a little heat!).
- Match Your Outfits to the Location – Neutral tones for nature, bolder colors for urban backdrops. Also consider formality – black tie attire will look out of place on a golf cart path, and casual clothes will feel less than special against a golf club backdrop.
- Prioritize Comfort – You’ll look your best when you feel relaxed and confident. Dress up for the occasion, but be careful to pic outfits that fit you well and have low-fuss so you’re not tugging at your clothes.
- Trust the Light – Heavy tree cover may look pretty to the naked eye, but doesn’t offer flattering lighting. I always guide my couples on the best time & locations for golden hour magic.
