Duke Gardens & Downtown Durham Engagement Photography

Share

In Durham, NC, there is a beautiful location near Duke Campus called the Duke Gardens.  The gardens are approximately 40 acres of beautifully landscaped property with more flora and fauna then I could ever hope to learn the names of.  Perfect for engagement sessions and weddings, the Duke gardens are one of my favorite places to photograph when needing a “natural” setting.  My clients, Anna & Steve wanted both a natural and urban setting, so we started in the gardens then ended up in downtown Durham under a beautiful sunset to finish the session.  Hope you enjoy the photos!
