Plaza de la Constitution is a square of land bordered by the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, Trinity Episcopal, and the Government House. The plaza has been a central part of St. Augustine since 1573 when it was first laid out by the Spanish

Governor's House Cultural Center and Museum

Governors house This historic site has served the city of St. Augustine since 1598.

Father Miguel O'Reilly House Museum

Built during the first Spanish Period, the Father O'Reilly House Museum is one of the oldest structures in St. Augustine -- and situated in the oldest continuously settled neighborhood.

Patti opened my eyes to see shapes, lines and colors that I had been overlooking. I’m not only taking landscape photography now, but I’m also taking photos that are simple.

The tour provider was difficult to communicate with at the time of the tour start. The history was interesting and some good tips but it was too slow and not well organized. Despite some beautiful opportunities for photos, we quickly became disengaged. She was inflexible in her style and ignored most of the group. I’m sure the tour is very dependent on the guide, but our experience was moderate.

Patricia Bean's St. Augustine Historic District Photo Tour was just what I needed to get past the confusion of cellphone photography. We started out by talking about what the camera can do and why. She allowed me time to try each feature as she was talking. Then we went out to the Square and worked on composition. Although I had done photo in the "olden days" and came to this experience with prior knowledge, I learned a lot about how to make good pictures. This tour was instrumental in getting me back into photography after a long hiatus. It was also super interesting due to Patricia's deep knowledge of St. Augustine and its history. I highly recommend!

Patricia, a professional photographer, was a warm and wonderful guide and teacher. I enjoyed my time with her and learned a lot about the functions on my smartphone camera. I got tons of amazing images that I can’t wait to share with family and friends! You will see quiet little streets with beautiful courtyards, windows, doorways and architecture with Patricia graciously helping you take the best artistic images possible. Take advantage of this unique opportunity!

Patricia Bean was very knowledgeable about the history of Saint Augustine and worked with me on composition, which was extremely helpful in improving my photography skills. Friendly and easy to understand, I would highly recommend her for a photography tour of Saint Augustine.

Patricia is a great teacher! Highly recommend taking her tour whether you’re a tourist or a local. I learned how to use my camera better and basic photography principles. She’s great at tailoring her tours to individual needs, which I appreciated. Her knowledge of the city is almost as deep as her knowledge of photography; so I learned a lot doing a history and photo tour together. I’m looking forward to the release of her book and taking more tours with her in the future 📸

The information for both photography as well as the history I was given is worth a second trip. Patricia is the person to guide your camera and you around town
