Photography Policy
Wellfield Botanic Gardens provides an exceptional backdrop for both commercial and non-commercial photography. We appreciate you choosing Wellfield for those keepsake memories!
Members and guests are welcome to take photographs for personal use. Personal photographers and/or videos are not to be used for commercial purposes. We encourage you to share your photos on social media and tag us whenever you post!
We define "commercial purposes" as images and/or videos that will be marketed, published, sold, reproduced, transferred or distributed, even if originally shot for personal use.
An Annual Photography Membership or Daily Photography Permit is necessary for those who wish to use the Gardens for commercial and/or posed portrait photography of any kind.
This applied to all who wish to use Wellfield as a backdrop/ setting (i.e. if you are being paid to take photographers or if you sell your photographs) or all posed portrait photography including but not limited to baby photos, senior pictures, prom, quinceañera, engagement, family, graduation, or wedding photos (even if the photographer is not a commercial photographer/videographer).
Additional guests in your party will be subject to general admission. If you have a party of ten or more, you may be eligible for an admission discount. Please contact us at least two weeks prior to arrange this.
Photo sessions scheduled outside of our normal operating hours will incur additional hourly charges.
Whenever possible, we ask that you please schedule your visit two weeks in advance by emailing us at info@wellfieldgardens.org for more information.
