Harvard's Secret Garden

One of my favorite things about collaborating with clients on the location for their shoot is discovering places that I wouldn't find otherwise! This little hidden garden was the perfect place to find some privacy on a very public campus. It was also where the groom was supposed to propose to his bride. However, like many perfectly planned engagement stories, fate had a different plan and the gates were locked, so the proposal happened just outside the garden instead. Luckily the gates were open for our photo shoot, and I was able to catch a little glimpse of what made the garden such a special place for these Harvard grads...



I loved being able to incorporate parts of the quote carved into this stone bench!





Rumor has it, some people can sneak out of their window at night to access the garden, even when the gates are closed. ;-)
