Harrybrooke Park, my childhood memory. A tucked-away place where I could run free, laugh and play as a child. Some say it is a hidden gem. A beautiful place to have your dream wedding.
While the raindrops were coming down in bucketfuls the morning of our photo shoot, it was Bill Buckbee, Harrybrooke Park’s executive director and a Justice of the Peace, who told us, “The drops of rain are teardrops from our loved ones above who cannot be with us, but are smiling down with joy on your day of love.”
The Harden House Museum, located on the park’s grounds and backed up against the Still River waterfall, offers gorgeous photo opportunities for the bride and groom as they pamper themselves for their magical day. There are plenty of chances for couples to immerse themselves in the park’s beauty.
We were lucky enough to embrace the setting between raindrops. Perhaps its magic will entrance you as well.
