Station Square

Located in the South Shore neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is Station Square, a 52-acre dining and entertainment hotspot on the banks of the Manongahela River, a fantastic location for your engagement shoot. Originally a great railway complex built to service the massive amount of freight and passenger train traffic, Station Square was re-developed over the course of 19 years and is now a popular spot for city-dwellers to come out and play. 

Its railroad history, however, has not been forgotten and is evident no matter where you shoot, from the 7-story Landmarks Building constructed in 1900, to the Freight House Shops, which were once a train shed. Perhaps one of the location’s most famous attractions is the Bessemer Court, which is adorned with a state-of-the-art fountain at its center. Come for the Waltzing Waters Liquid Fireworks Show to watch colorful jets make beautiful displays in the air. 

You’ll love the iconic Pittsburgh details like the marquee letters on Grand Concourse and the Smithfield Street Bridge lights. Dangle your legs over the water in this urban playground full of raw beauty and old-school style. The many architectural elements of Station Square will make for a fantastic shoot in this ideal spot for Pittsburgh engagement photography.
