01. The Main Road

This is the most famous place of the whole plantation. It’s popular among all visitors, especially those who are planning an engagement session. And we bet you already know why. Look at the tremendous Avenue of the Oaks. Depending on the hour of the day, this location has a different lighting. The morning gives its majestic lighting to the avenue and it’s the best time to schedule the session as the plantation closes at 5pm. One more detail we should remember: the avenue is available for cars. But it’s easy to wait till there are no cars or use a bit of retouching after the photo session.

03. Gates

Beautiful iron gates and the house behind them look like a scene from a historic movie. This spot indeed has a rich history. Note an elegant ornament on the gates. It depicts vases and flowers. Thins structured lines add balance and a special visual feature to the photo. You will always want to look at all the details of the gates. There are several ways to take photos there. You may stand between the gates having the house behind you. Or you can be photographed from another side, having trees and greenery as a main background. One more idea: the photo can be taken while the photographer is looking through the gates, as if the couple was secretly watched by the photographer.

04. House

The house is incredibly photogenic. See yourself, we took photos with different lighting and different seasons. The building can be near or in a distance, in the center of the photo or in the corner of it. And it always looks beautiful. White columns and well-cared greenery create a background that nothing can spoil.

Arches are always so good for photography. This one is also good for romantic photography. The combination of old bricks and greenery has a great outlook in any season. If you visit this place during the blooming period, your photos will get a colorful decoration. Bright flower beds will do their best for the wonderful photos.

07. Cotton Dock

One of the most popular spots for engagement photography at Boone Hall Plantation is the cotton dock. Jutting out into Horlbeck Creek, this weathered wooden dock offers panoramic views of the surrounding marshes and waterways. As the sun sets behind the horizon, casting a warm glow over the landscape, couples can embrace, dance, and create memories of this special day.

A solid wooden fence looks simple, but does a lot for the photo composition. Having no ornaments or other decoration, it brings so much balance to the picture. Note different angles and distances in the photos. All of them are so uncomplicated yet perfectly balanced. Sometimes you can see horses behind the fence. They tend to add some kind of peace and coziness to the photo.

10. Backyard

This is the house’s backyard, which has its special charm. Depending on the season you may see a lot of manicured greenery or brown and yellow bushes there. Anyway it deserves to be photographed. Its panoramic windows and brick walls look stylish and a bit mysterious regardless of the season. Moreover, this place has a nice advantage – it is also a non-crowded spot suitable for a romantic walk.

12. Bridge

The wooden bridge is not straight, like the bridges we used to see. This one is curved, that’s why it looks so unusual. Marsh area here is also visible. Not so many people know about this spot. So it is good not only for an engagement, but also for posing with your beloved. Depending on your ideas, we can take creative or romantic photos here.

13. Next to the Creek

This location has a waterview. Looking a bit wild, it still has something romantic. We believe it’s all because of Spanish moss and old trees. Massive branches resemble stone. In fact, they are really strong and you can even sit on them. The location is also non crowded, so you can enjoy nature and your visit to the plantation.
