Downtown San Mateo, California
380 1st Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401
Our niece was all about that city vibe for her senior graduation pics, so we hit up Downtown San Mateo in Northern California. It totally blew us away! The place is packed with cool storefronts, brick buildings, and loads of colorful backdrops, making it an awesome spot for snapping some fun and creative shots. We wrapped up her photoshoot at Somi Somi, where they serve the most amazing frozen yogurt!
Located at the heart of San Mateo, Downtown San Mateo can get pretty busy on weekends and weekday evenings. We'd recommend planning your HKCreate Bay Area shoot on a weekday to dodge the crowds and keep your photos distraction-free. If you're after a fun, lively, and urban-style photoshoot, follow this About the Location Guide and this spot is just what you need!
