Family Photoshoot in Alviso Marina County Park, California

Alviso Marina Park and the adjacent salt flats are a beloved weekend getaway for families seeking recreational fun. As soon as the park opens at 8 a.m., you’ll find visitors biking along the scenic bridge trail, pausing to snap photos at the iconic house door at the entrance that welcomes travelers. Following the bridged path from the parking lot leads you down to the salt flats, where the striking contrast of the white salt flooring against the rich reds of the waterbed create a stunning backdrop.

An Unconventional Beauty

During golden hour and just before sunset, the landscape transforms into a vibrant palette of warm colors. The soft golden light bathes everything in a magical glow, elevating the beauty of every photograph. Bergado Photography had an amazing time capturing the Tom family during their photoshoot, playfully running through the salt pavement and enjoying the unique scenery.

This type of photoshoot is for you if…

The beautiful scenery of the park fosters a sense of tranquilness and peaceful nature, making it easy for families to relax and connect. If you're lucky, picking a clear day  during golden hour blends the vibrance of color of the sky alongside the warm tones of the water. This unique setting allows families to create stunning photographs that capture their special moments in a way that traditional parks may not offer. Definitely, a hidden jewel amongst the busy San Francisco Bay Area city hustle.
