Austin Boardwalk

A mile of Austin, out over the water.

8 frames·Ann and Roy Butler Boardwalk, Lady Bird Lake, Austin

The boardwalk is the one stretch of the hike-and-bike trail that leaves the bank entirely — a deck on pilings out over Lady Bird Lake with the skyline on one side and open water on the other. No cars, no driveways, nothing behind you but lake. It is the cleanest downtown background in the city and it costs nothing to stand there. We shoot proposals, grad portraits and families along it year round.

Booking

Runners, cyclists and dogs all day. We work with the traffic, not against it.

There is nothing behind you but lake.

The deck sits out on pilings, so the background is water and towers and nothing else — no parked cars, no signage, no back of a building. Downtown, that is rarer than it sounds.
