BONUS LOCATION

The Boston Public Library makes for a stunning backdrop for any engagement shoot, however it is important to note that it does require special permission to shoot inside the library and includes a fee. So talk to your photographer and plan ahead. If you love the idea of the library, but do not want to deal with the fee, the outside of the library makes for a perfect, simple backdrop.
