Beautiful Columbus fall photos

by Serena Burks

Autumn is a magical season. The change in weather breeds a colorful landscape that makes a perfect backdrop for photos. Whether it’s family photos, engagement photos, wedding photos or simply snapping a picture with your phone while out for a walk, some of the most beautiful photography opportunities are in the fall.

In the city, it can sometimes be hard to capture those beautiful landscapes without man-made buildings and roads mucking it all up. But here in Columbus, we’re pretty lucky, our metro parks offer some gorgeous photo opportunities without human intrusion, and there are even hidden gems, not inside parks that offer beautiful backdrops.

We wanted to highlight some of the places that provide amazing fall photos that are in or near Columbus, so we asked our members to submit some of their favorites.
