Boutique Photography Studio Rental iN Old Town Alexandria
Discover our boutique photography studio nestled in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, VA. Decorated in a Parisian glam-inspired style, this rentable space is perfect for photographers, videographers, hair and makeup artists, and creative professionals alike. Located on the second floor of a quiet office building, our studio features elegant white walls, luxurious gilded accents, rich wooden floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the space in lovely natural light, creating the ideal setting for any shoot or project.
The studio serves as a dynamic home base for on-location photoshoots in Old Town and as a prime location for in-studio sessions. Photographers who rent this studio enjoy the best of both worlds.
Upon arrival, greet your clients in the stylish reception area where they can enjoy a complimentary, refreshing beverage like chilled water or European espresso, setting the stage for a premium photoshoot experience. You might also welcome them back for a viewing or sales session to present final images, whether on-screen or as matted prints elegantly displayed on the built-in reveal wall shelves.

With the historic charm of King Street and the scenic Alexandria waterfront within walking distance, photographers can easily venture out to use the cobblestone streets and well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture as their backdrop.
Back in the studio, the shooting room is a blank canvas ready to accommodate anything from corporate headshots and family portraits to high fashion editorials. Enhance your creative possibilities with our range of available add-ons, including various canvas backdrops and seamless papers.
This exclusive rental gives you an opportunity to instantly elevate your services & serve a new level of clientele without the headache of running your own studio.
