Saint Augustine Has Been Waiting 500 Years to Be Photographed Like This
A self-guided photography experience through America’s oldest city —
with a licensed history guide behind every stop.
For seven years Patricia Bean walked these streets as a professional photographer and licensed history guide — working with photographers of every level, from first-timers to seasoned hobbyists. In the year America marks its 250th anniversary, there has never been a better moment to experience a city that was already 200 years old when the nation began. What Patricia discovered on these streets became the Intentional Image Method™ — a way of seeing born right here, in America’s oldest city.
Saint Augustine is where this began. And it’s still the best place to experience it.
This Is For You
Some travelers want more than the landmark shot.
You love to photograph — but something in the results doesn’t quite match what you felt in the moment. You’re drawn to the quieter streets, the weathered details, the stories most visitors never stop to notice.
And you’ve always sensed that history makes a place worth photographing — if you know how to see it.
This experience was made for you.
What Travelers Discovered
“How do I begin sharing my reflections on Patricia’s tour? Simply stated? Ahhh-maaaaz-ing! From the start, Patricia’s tour directions were conversational — like having a private walking guide beside you as a friend. A really smart friend who is a master at history and architectural photography. I observed and photographed details I would have never noticed, and found myself learning to look up, really scan and take in everything around me. My photos greatly improved. Surprisingly, the map is so easy to follow — even for me, and I am really not the best at following maps. Seamlessly I moved from outstanding photo tips, to walking the town, to deeper dives into local history. I unequivocally recommend Patricia Bean’s Morning Light Tour. You will be amazed. Guaranteed.”

“Instead of taking an ‘I was there’ photo, Patricia shared great insights on how to capture the mystery in a location. I’ve been a lifelong photographer, but she showed how the slightest adjustments in camera placement can really make a difference.”
— Marc Bugbey
“I had the delightful surprise of being signed up for Patricia Bean’s Saint Augustine photo tour. It turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. Not only did I learn a wealth of knowledge about the city, but I also gained valuable insights into photography — particularly using my iPhone. Through this tour I discovered the art of capturing moments with my own eyes and framing them effectively. I highly recommend this experience.”
— Arlene Dodson
