Denver Botanic Gardens

Lush and Vibrant Backdrop

The Denver Botanic Gardens provides a stunning setting for any photoshoot, featuring colorful flowers, lush trees, charming bridges, architectural structures, and serene water features. The best time for photos is afternoon leading into dusk, when the lighting is most flattering.

Booking & Important Details

  • Photography Permit: The Botanic Gardens requires a $125 photography permit, which is an additional cost. This cost does include entry fee for everybody.
  • Availability: Some days are restricted due to private events. Please contact me in advance to confirm availability.
  • Single Location Recommended: Due to its size and diversity, I recommend using the Botanic Gardens as a standalone location rather than combining it with another.

Meeting Details

If your session is scheduled here, please meet me at the main entrance with all your outfit changes. My assistant and I will have a wagon to help carry belongings and a pop-up changing tent for convenience.

See below how to get there and some sample pictures.
