Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library

5105 Kennett Pike, Winterthur, DE 19735
Tucked away in Delaware’s Brandywine Valley, Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library offers a breathtaking blend of elegance, history, and natural beauty—making it a standout location for engagement sessions. Often compared to Longwood Gardens, Winterthur brings its own charm with quiet meadows, rolling hills, greenhouse nooks, and centuries-old trees.

Originally the private estate of Henry A. du Pont, Winterthur spans over 1,000 acres and features 175 rooms, sweeping lawns, and beautifully preserved architecture. Whether you’re capturing portraits beside a lily pond, along the wooded trails, or inside a glasshouse that feels pulled from a storybook, every frame carries a sense of heritage and romance.

Its serene grounds and variety of backdrops allow for a gallery that feels editorial yet personal—ideal for couples seeking an elegant, nature-rich engagement session just outside Philadelphia.
