Downtown New Bedford Inc

Just a short drive away from Providence is the charming and cultural downtown district of New Bedford. This is the perfect engagement session location for the couple that loves New England and wants to feature its iconic style. Downtown is full of adorable boutiques and antique shops, galleries, museums, and parks that will fill your photos with beautiful detail in a fun and creative shoot. 

The city blocks are filled with New England charm that you’ll love exploring, from the detail-filled doors on pillared stoops, to the docks and boatyards. For an interesting starting point, check out the New Bedford Whaling Museum, housed in a brilliant brick building and adorned with fun whale sculptures and details. Then, head down brick streets beneath old-fashioned lampposts and walk by fantastic examples of colonial homes painted white with contrasting shutters. Downtown, you’ll find many different water fixtures, surfaces, and walls that will add beautiful texture to your photographs. 

The historic streets make excellent portrait opportunities with the soft green of the many trees set against strong angular architecture. Its variety, history, and charm make Downtown New Bedford a fantastic place for Providence engagement photography for beautiful photos that will last a lifetime.
