Located in Philadelphia, the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania is a jaw-dropping location for your engagement shoot, filled with many different textures, surfaces, walls, and water fixtures that will inspire you for a creative session.
With 92 acres of garden beds, lush lawns, fountains, and historic features, you’ll certainly find something here that will stun for years to come. The extensive plant and tree collections ensure that any season is a gorgeous time to be at the arboretum, whether you’re admiring the flowering cherry trees in spring, the wildflowers of summer, or the colors of the fall foliage. From the Rose Garden, the English Park, and the Pennock Flower Walk, to the stately tree-lined Haas Oak Allee, you’ll find yourself lost in a wonderland of seamlessly crafted beauty.
For architectural interest, look to the carriage house, a 100-year-old stone building with contrast-painted windows and doors. For other delightful touches, you’ll also find pieces of artwork spread throughout the gardens that will provide inspiration for your photo shoot. Stone walls, wooden benches, and flowing streams will make your photographs pop and imbue them with special details. Whether you’re going for sophisticated, Victorian, or natural, this Philadelphia engagement photography destination has the look you want.
