A Popular Nashville Photo Op: The Pedestrian Bridge

When it comes to photo ops in Nashville, you’ve got the classics:

  • The Drippy Lips Mural

  • “I Believe In Nashville” in 12 South

  • The Dolly Parton bust made of pink chicken wire at White Limozeen

  • The always-clever Rosepepper sign

  • Centennial Park

Arguably the most classic photo op in Nashville is the Pedestrian Bridge—which, if you’re searching for it, is technically called the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. But that’s too many syllables and no one can pronounce it. So everyone just calls it the Pedestrian Bridge.

7 reasons I love shooting photos on the Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville:

  1. It’s perfect for a slick, city vibe.

  2. It’s perfect for a soft, bright vibe.

  3. It’s perfect for a classic, Nashville vibe.

  4. The wide shots are impressive but the closeups are usually my fave.

  5. Free parking—which is a huge bonus for any shoot in downtown Nashville.

  6. Everyone else is also taking pictures on the Pedestrian Bridge (because how can you not?) so they’re usually polite about not getting in the shot.
