The Botanical Garden may offer special ticketed photography opportunities for select school dances and formal events. Dates, times, and pricing vary.

Planning photography or video for advertising, marketing, publications, products, or another commercial purpose? Please contact us in advance.

Availability and pricing are based on the scope of the project. Projects involving extensive equipment, staging, reserved spaces, or significant setup may require a venue rental.

Help us protect the Garden and create a great experience for everyone. Photography sessions take place while the Garden is open to visitors and do not provide exclusive access to a particular location. Please remain on designated paths, keep Garden spaces accessible and arrive ready for your session. Tripods, lighting equipment, reflectors and props are not permitted for portrait or wedding photography.

Photography sessions must be reserved in advance. Submit a request and our team will confirm availability before collecting payment. Your reservation is confirmed once availability has been approved and payment has been received.

Photography reservations may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice, subject to availability. Reservation fees are nonrefundable.
