Looking for the best photoshoot spots in Woodland Hills? You’ve landed on the right article. The City of Angels boasts palm tree-lined streets, gorgeous beaches, a bustling cityscape and lots of glitz and glamour, as we all know – but even better is the fact that the sun shines for more than 300 days out of the year, and there’s even a high probability of running into a celebrity.

What it comes down to is that we’re living in a paradise replete with Instagrammable places to snap pictures, and below are our top picks for the most dramatic photoshoot spots around Woodland Hills.

Top of Topanga Overlook, officially situated at 3400 North Topanga Canyon Boulevard, makes for the perfect place to just sit and look at the city lights at night with that special someone…but it also creates the ideal backdrop for some sexy selfies or group bestie shots. Beautiful vistas of the San Fernando Valley complement a bevy of flowers blooming with beauty and dazzling, colorful hues, offering a jaw-dropping photo op for a wedding. Be it sunrise or sunset, the top of Topanga Overlook is always a nice stop to take in views of the Valley and maybe snap a few pictures for those envious friends back home.

Cactus Garden, situated between Mulholland Drive and North Topanga Canyon Road in L.A., is open daily from sunrise to sunset and offers one of the most unique opportunities for photos in the whole area – from the archway entrance guarded by twin cherub sculptures to the winding path of palm trees and cacti, here’s your chance to enjoy the tranquil serenity of the gift provided to the surrounding neighborhood. This remarkable park turns a dusty intersection median into an off-the-beaten-path cactus garden complete with gravelly grounds and an eclectic house right next door, so you’re guaranteed some out-of-the-ordinary backdrops for your next photoshoot.

Calabasas Creek Park, situated at Calabasas Road and Mulholland Drive/Valley Circle Old Town Calabasas in L.A., was realized in 1994 as a year-round creek, Native American settlement, and privately-owned-and-maintained attraction as lorded over by the Leonis Adobe Association, its vibrant presence representing a late 1880s Victorian period park with both original and replicated artifacts. Looking for a throwback-esque vibe for your next photo op? Calabasas Creek Park is it, with its replicated Calabasas Jail, original antique park, and garden ironwork “furniture,” alongside replicated architectural elements of the 1875 to 1885 period to which the Leonis Adobe has been restored. Calabasas Creek runs year-round and is one of two creeks – the other being Bell Creek – that join Canoga Park and become the Los Angeles River.

Warner Center Park, situated at 5800 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, is also known as Warner Ranch Park, and we can assure you that they simply don’t make parks like this anymore – at least not in suburbia. A rectangular block of green space with lots of lush green grass and big sturdy oak trees, WCP fuses together a children’s play area, paved walkways, picnic area, outdoor bandstand for summer concerts, dog walking areas and much more, making for a myriad of opportunities for creative photoshoots. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Sage Ranch Park, officially located at 1 Black Canyon Road in Simi Valley, offers an easy, accessible, gorgeous hike opportunity that highlights the flora of the West Valley – but tucked away in the hidden part of a narrow, windy mountain road are some truly sensational photo spots. The loop is very much sign-posted and the views here are stunning, with rocks jutting up dramatically and Simi Valley itself laid out before you at numerous points. Indeed, the seemingly permanent detour is more trail-like than most people in L.A. may be used to, but unless you have mobility issues, it’s still a basic entry-level hike in order to obtain lots of photographs.

Cave of Muntis, nestled at 24501 West Vanowen Street in West Hills, will help you discover beautiful nature with a unique experience allowing you to venture into charming caves – an absolutely epic time making for absolutely epic photo opportunities. This hidden gem demands you wear shoes with good traction, though if you’re shooting some formal pics, you can always change into that dress and heels once you’re at your location; indeed, if it’s dramatics you’re after, look no further: views of the entire El Scorpio Valley, the pinnacle of Castle Peak, beautiful scenery, an awesome cave and more await.

Garden of the Gods, situated at Santa Susana Pass Road and Redmesa in Chatsworth, edges the 118 freeway and remains home to some of the most awe-inspiring neolithic structures in the Valley, including Stoney Point and Santa Susana. Essentially located in a Chatsworth neighborhood on Redmesa, this isn’t a park in the traditional sense – the entire acreage is basically one large rocky, cavernous, geographic wonder, making Valley residents feel like they’re at a national park in Utah. The Hollywood history of Garden of the Gods is something to behold on its own; it was part of the ranch where countless westerns were filmed, from Buster Keaton classics to the opening credits of Lone Ranger. What’s more, when it comes to scenic beauty for photos, Garden of the Gods is simply breathtaking, whether it’s the rock formations or the bushes/grasses and sand stone outcroppings. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing a lingerie modeling shoot or capturing some glammed-up snaps for your lavish wedding…Garden of the Gods is where you want to be.

Los Angeles has to be one of the most photogenic cities in the U.S., from the sprawling mountains minutes away from the city to scenic beaches, and by default, this makes Woodland Hills one of the best areas to Instagram…and beyond.
