The Garden is a beautiful place, year-round for photographers to capture nature's beauty or take memorable photos.
The photography guidelines outlined below are intended for all guests. However, a permit is necessary for those who wish to use the Garden’s setting as the background for posed photography or commercial videos. This includes wedding, family, engagement, senior photos, maternity, quinceañera or the like and all other commercial photography/videography.
Due to COVID-19 all must wear masks and practice social distancing (except when being photographed). While you do not need to schedule your photgraphy session, you should check the Event Calendar for closures.
We ask that you follow a few guidelines that will allow us to maintain the Garden for all visitors and future patrons.
Use of the Garden for photography is open to the public during regular Garden hours. Posed photography is not allowed after hours, on days the Garden is closed, or during specific special events. The Garden is a public facility and privacy cannot be guaranteed. Areas in the Garden cannot be reserved for the exclusive use of any group.
Due to COVID-19 all must wear masks and practice social distancing (except when being photographed). While you do not need to schedule your photgraphy session, you should check the Event Calendar for closures.
