Photography Locations
RBG offers four beautiful garden areas to choose from for your wedding photography. You will be required to select one of the options below upon booking.
Hendrie Park / Mediterranean Garden
Outdoor / Indoor. Available Year-Round
Our largest garden area, Hendrie Park is home to a wide array of blooms and architectural features. Pose with the double reflecting ponds, the famous iron gates, fountains, bridges, the Rose Garden, and acres of incredible flowers and plants.
Booking also includes access to our indoor Mediterranean Garden, with two levels of exotic plants, along with the koi pond, stairs, benches, cacti and succulent collection, and more.
Special Notice: The Mediterranean Garden is unavailable for photography bookings until further notice. This is due to the gathering limitations in which we must operate within during the COVID-19 pandemic. We apologize for any inconvenience.
David Braley and Nancy Gordon Rock Garden
Outdoor Only. Available May to October
This historic Rock Garden has been recently rejuvenated, home to winding water features, perennial plants and rustic limestone steps. Descend into the lower bowl for a truly unforgettable landscape.
Arboretum
Outdoor only. Available May to August
More like an English landscape park, the Arboretum features a wide variety of trees and grassy fields. It is especially beautiful in late spring, when the magnolias, lilacs, and crabapples bloom.
Laking Garden
Outdoor only. Available May to August
Set on a fertile terraced plain, formerly a market garden, Laking Garden is home to RBG’s herbaceous perennial collections, including a wide plain of iris and peonies. The Hilda E. Marrs Gazebo and terraced landscape make for a truly romantic atmosphere.
