Jun 1, 2016

The dresses have been bought, the tuxes fitted, and the promposals are over and done with. But with prom just around the corner, you need to know where to take the best photos to commemorate the event. Here are three musts for taking your pre-prom photos in Dartmouth:

Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary (1280 Horseneck Road)

Though hiking in a prom dress isn’t ideal, the entrance of Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary on Horseneck Road is scenic and sprawling with high grass, open skies, the promise of wildflowers, and even a visit from a butterfly or two.

Apponagansett Beach

Not only is the beach a unique reminder of the South Coast's beauty, but the steady breeze at Padanaram’s picturesque waterfront will keep you cool while posing for photos.

Russels Mills Landing (50 Horseneck Road)

This small park off of Horseneck Road provides a quieter, more controlled setting to take pictures. The Slocum River offset by a thick, wooded area provides a great backdrop.

Pro tips: Stand on towels to keep keep your dress clean. Wear comfortable shoes while walking through these areas, then switch into your dress shoes or heels for the photos.
