Longwood Gardens

Location Information

This is one of my favorite places for engagement and portrait sessions! With over 1,000 acres of outdoor and indoor gardens, the Longwood Gardens offers wide sweeping landscapes, tree houses, beautiful water gardens and one of the greatest places for sunset photos in the Philadelphia area.

The Longwood Gardens is a botanical garden in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, United States, with over 1,077 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows in the Brandywine Creek Valley. It is one of the country's top horticultural display gardens, open year-round to visitors who may enjoy native and exotic plants, horticulture (both indoor and outdoor), events and performances, seasonal and themed attractions, as well as educational talks, seminars, and workshops.
