Race Street Pier is a little camera-shy (for now).

Our local photographers haven't added photos from here yet. If you're getting married here, say the word and we'll round them up. Nothing gets a photographer moving like a couple who has already booked the place.

About Race Street Pier

Race Street Pier sits on the Delaware River just south of the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia, and it is a favorite stop for wedding photos with the river, the bridge and the Center City skyline all in one view. The pier has two levels, an upper sky promenade and a sunny lower terrace with a lawn and plantings, joined by amphitheater-style seating that wraps around the end, so your photographer and videographer have steps, railings and open sky to work with.

This is a place for pictures, not for the ceremony itself. The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, which runs the pier, says it no longer provides wedding ceremony services because of limited capacity. Couples usually come here between the ceremony and the wedding reception for portraits, or for engagement pictures before the wedding day.

Professional photographers and videographers need a paid permit from the waterfront corporation for any session with professional equipment, such as tripods, lights and reflectors, on Race Street Pier or the other waterfront parks. Your photographer applies and pays before the permit is issued, so build that into your plans. The pier is open every day from 7 am to 11 pm, all year. For your wedding videographer, wind off the river is part of the sound, and the bridge makes a strong backdrop for a slow walk along the promenade. Parking information for the waterfront is on the corporation's site.

  • Ask your photographer to apply for the waterfront photo and video permit early.
  • Plan your visit around sunset light on the bridge.
  • Check waterfront parking and construction detours before the day.

A little about Race Street Pier

Opened in 2011, Race Street Pier was the first park completed by the waterfront corporation. Its two-level design nods to the original bi-level shipping pier built here in 1896.
