Look at the tremendous Avenue of the Oaks. Depending on the hour of the day, this location has a different lighting. Of course the golden hour gives its majestic lighting to the avenue. This hour can be caught in winter, when the sun sets earlier. The plantation is open till 5 pm, so in other seasons we won’t have a chance. 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.

One of the most popular spots for secret proposal photography at Boone Hall Plantation is the cotton dock.
