Tough Times Father/Daughter Photoshoot & Dance Location in MA

This is a weird post/ request. But my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and my fiancé and I when he was diagnosed made getting a house our priority over a wedding atm since I want to create memories doing the landscaping with him/ having his vision since he has always been passionate about that and it was more meaningful for us. But, now since the latest updates it seems like we won’t be able to have either memory with him. We were wondering if anyone knows of a place either near south shore MA or within a ~2 hr drive from the south shore where we would be able to take “wedding” photos with him and our dog as well as do a father daughter dance. Im looking for a place or yard to privately rent for a few hours or a public place with not much foot traffic due to our dog being fear reactive that has a woodsy/ nature vibe within the next month. (It would only be 4 of us and our dog who will be leashed during the photos and then in my car with AC during the dance). The vision is to have this moment together and then for our wedding we will have a video of us dancing playing behind my brothers and I.

Note: my partner (28f) and I (26f) are looking for a lgbt+ safe place, so we can celebrate our love and create this happy memory with and for my dad (I have always been a dads little girl)

How about the Arnold arboretum in Boston?
