Outdoor/Nature/Garden vibes
Mint Museum Randolph: A dreamy field, a fountain, a bridge, tall trees…what more could you ask for?
McGill Rose Garden: A little bit of industrial mixed with whimsical in this inner-city, hidden rose garden. In the spring there are flowers galore, of course, and in the winter, Christmas lights & Christmas trees!

Artsy/Unique vibes
Anywhere in NoDA, of course! We love the arts district here. Spots to stop along the way if you take engagement photos here: Goodyear House, any of the stunning murals, a brewery like Heist or Free Range, and of course, the iconic pizza place Benny’s.
Camp North End: This new Charlotte spot is always growing, always changing, always FUN.
