My Favorite Engagement photography locations in Raleigh NC and beyond..

NC State Engagement photography + A moment at the Memorial Bell tower in Raleigh NCA couple shares a kiss under the Memorial Bell Tower on the NC State Campus during their engagement photography session in downtown Raleigh NC.

I am often asked where the best engagement photography locations are in and around the Raleigh NC area. Luckily we are blessed with reasonably nice weather year round here in the Triangle ( even in January!) so no matter the season there is always someplace beautiful nearby to capture great photos with a pretty backdrop.

Here is my list ( in no particular order ) with info links of my favorite places to take my clients on photo shoots.

The JC Ralston Arboretum http://jcra.ncsu.edu

Yates Mill Farm Park http://www.wakegov.com/parks/yatesmill/Pages/default.aspx

​Ok so I know I said that this list isn't in order but I really love the top two locations listed above :)

Harris Lake Park http://www.wakegov.com/parks/harrislake/Pages/default.aspx

Pullen Park http://www.raleighnc.gov/parks/content/ParksRec/Articles/Parks/Pullen.html

* Pullen Park is very, very, very, very BUSY on the weekends and parking is a pain in the a@#!. Always schedule an engagement shoot here on weekday mornings, the earlier the better! That being said this a fun location to hold an engagement shoot, especially the paddle boats.

Moore Square and surrounding streets in downtown Raleigh NC  http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/go/moore-square

The campus of NC State University  http://www.ncsu.edu/belltower/

The NC Museum of Art http://ncartmuseum.org

* The NC Museum of Art requires a permit, a client fee and appointment to be made ahead of the photoshoot date!

Durham & Chapel Hill Areas

Sarah P. Duke Gardens https://gardens.duke.edu

* Duke gardens requires a permit, an appointment & charges a (very steep!) fee to clients who want to take photos here!

American Tobacco Historic District in downtown Durham NC http://www.americantobaccohistoricdistrict.com

The University of North Carolina campus http://www.unc.edu/interactive-tour/landmarks/
