Photography Policy & Fees
To ensure a peaceful experience and respect the privacy of all visitors, a photography fee payment and signing our photography policy waiver is required to take portrait photos/video in the garden. We have our fees and photo policies listed below for more information.
Please review our fees and policy below. Then fill out the photography inquiry form to schedule a photo shoot. Include the date, time, and number of people being photographed.

PHOTO POLICIES
Portrait photography sessions in the garden require payment of the applicable photography fee and signing a policy form by the photographer.
Photo shoots must start at least 1 hr and 15 minutes before closing time for that day.
Video shoots require additional vetting and fees. Please contact our Operations team.
We do not allow drones.
Please do not block or obstruct the pathways, bridges, and other public spaces for other guests of the garden.
Please help us keep the plants healthy by staying on the pathways and out of the garden beds.
Please do not stand or perch on garden walls.
Props (other than floral bouquets) are not allowed in photo or video shoots
Flower petals may not be spread on the ground for photo shoots or for other purposes.
Do not hang objects—including lighting, clothing, or bags—from trees and other plants.
Guests should come dressed and prepared for their photo session. There are no changing areas available, and we don't allow individuals to use our customer restrooms for that purpose.
We reserve the right to disallow photo shoots from lack of compliance with our photo policy.
