Nestled within the rugged beauty of the Marin Headlands, Battery Ridge stands as a testament to both historical significance and natural splendor, making it the quintessential locale for an unforgettable photo shoot. Perched atop the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Battery Ridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, with the Golden Gate Bridge majestically spanning the horizon.

Dating back to the late 19th century, Battery Ridge served as a vital defense post during times of conflict, adding a layer of historic charm to any photograph taken amidst its weathered walls and scenic vistas. The remnants of military structures provide a unique backdrop, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape of coastal cliffs and windswept cypress trees.

For those seeking a harmonious blend of history, natural beauty, and photographic inspiration, Battery Ridge in the Marin Headlands stands as the perfect setting, promising a truly unforgettable experience for both photographers and their subjects alike.


Let's plan to meeting in the parking lot near the battery. The parking lot may be full, especially on the weekend. There is additional parking further up the hill at the Golden Gate Point View Point. You may need to wait for parking, please plan for potential parking delays. I am usually onsite 15-30 minutes before a shoot. If you arrive early shoot me a text so we can meet up and possibly start early. You can reach me at 415-745-1021.


Please arrive photo ready, the shot starts and ends at the agreed time. Due to scheduling I am not able to accomodate staying later due to late arrivals. Build in extra time to traffic delays, fashion emergencies, and parking disasters.
