An afternoon at the Botanic Garden

Took a rather last-minute trip to the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens to scout out the fall color and see what spots were being used for photo sessions by other local photographers. First off, there were at least thirty or forty photographers in the gardens and I think I saw two weddings and at least two bridal photo sessions.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many at one time. Not being in session with a client attached to me, I found it difficult to get a shot off without someone or their entourage walking through it.

All in all, it was a wonderful little trip – the fall colors were pretty intense in places. The water fountains were wonderful and lots of pretty people enjoying the peace and tranquility of the gardens.

The Fort Worth Botanic Gardens charges an hourly rate for professional photographers – either $25/hr. or $75/hr. depending on which part of the gardens you wish to go to.

As a reminder, all location fees are the responsibility of the client. The client will need to register and pay all fees at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens conservatory info booth to get the photographer’s pass, which must be displayed and worn by the photographer during the photo session.
