Harkness Memorial State Park | Landscape Architecture Photography - Waterford, CT

Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial State Park is one of the most photographed landmarks on the Connecticut shoreline, and this shoot captures the estate's Renaissance Revival architecture against the Long Island Sound coastline. From the formal gardens to the mansion's grand facade, the goal was to show both the scale of the building and the character of its setting in Waterford.
