Oak Alley Plantation was a sugar farm during the height of American Slavery. It was a beautiful place with a dark history, but I am glad we are through it.
Oak Alley Plantation
During my journeys as a engagement photographers couples will always take me to some unique locations and this was totally one of them. This image will be in the architectural fine art prints section of my online gallery.
There is so much to add to the history of this place and although it is an interpretation of our American history, it is an important part to understand of how the south survived and how they came to be. This replica of a sugar plantation speaks volumes in how this house was made.
People often confuse the house from the movie Forest Gump, which is a cult classic about American history. What I really loved about this place is how open and it really was and how it was so well bilt in it landscape. Everything was so pristine and excessively large in space. But it bothered me to see the salve homes as you walked up to the house. Glenn Washington, who was the fiancee of Heather who hired me to photograph their engagement is an African American who father served I the US Military, was is actually Japanese born citizen.
Mr. Washington explained to me how 40-50 Slave families would be stuffed into one home living there in a small cabin in close proximity to the Mansion. The landscape job they did on the property is quite nice to see, but knowing it’s a part of Slavery and our dark American history bothered me a bit. Glenn, assured me he didn’t feel offended and we had fun photographing all the areas.
Oak Alley is just one of those places, makes you wonder about history and what life what have been like back in those days.
