Engagement Photography at the Sarah P Duke Gardens

Because I am relatively new to the North Carolinas (came out here on a business trip, fell in love with the people and places and started trying to move from California ASAP) I'd never gone to the Sarah P. Duke Gardens prior to last saturday. I was heading over to Duke Gardens in order to do an engagement photography shoot for two of my June clients, Kim and Charles.

I got to the Duke gardens about an hour early after searching online for pictures and locations. I am really glad I did because the place is immaculate, amazing and designed completely for photographs and serenity - not necessarily in that order.



The picture below was taken at the entrance to Duke Gardens right next to the parking lot.



After going through the entrance, heading off to the right takes you into the Asiatic area where most of my favorite locations were in the Duke Gardens.



Also in the Asiatic area is what is referred to as the "Criss-Cross" bridge.
