Downtown Austin Photoshoots
The Riley Building
We welcome you to book our venue for your next photoshoot. Our breathtaking views of downtown Austin provide an iconic backdrop for photography and videography. This ideal setting is perfect for bridal, wedding, corporate, and artistic portraits.
The Riley Building includes two floors available for photographers and videographers. The top floor is a rooftop setting with retractable glass ceilings, outdoor lighting, controllable LED fixtures, and panoramic views. The floor beneath our rooftop is our main hall, with a modern industrial feel. Here, we have large windows with city views great for natural lighting.
We encourage professionals to design our space for shoots or enjoy the venue as it is.
Testimonials from Professional Photographers
“I recently used the rooftop for a photo shoot and it was amazing. What a prime location in downtown. I really enjoyed the short elevator ride for easily carrying my equipment and talent. Everything was very clean and the open air layout was very nice. The owner was personable and friendly.”

“As a photographer, I would schedule 95% of my appointments here - 5% would be outside. The rooftop with Austin in the background or inside with more Austin views and a wonderful contemporary interior. You’ll never find a better venue or a better event planner.”
