answer from Mark about photo opps
You're probably thinking of the Coe Estate @ Planting Fields Arboretum. It's about 10-15 minutes from Milleridge. There are lots of places around, depending on the look and mood you want. The beach is a lot different from Planting Fields. You should discuss with your photographer what would work best with your personalities. If you love the beach, then go for it. Otherwise the beach is not an ideal spot for pictures. Only if you're beachy people.
