Gardens on Spring Creek Photography Guidelines

The Gardens on Spring Creek is a unique and beautiful location for photography.

We encourage visitors to take casual photographs or videos via phones or digital cameras for their personal use; however, these personal photographs may not be used for commercial purposes.

Photos taken in The Gardens for anything other than personal use or to have special access to The Gardens outside of normal business hours require purchasing a photography permit. All professional photographers and their parties must have permission to have a photo shoot on the grounds. 

Complimentary permits are included with rental packages.

  • Two-week minimum advance notice is recommended for larger groups or special-hours requests. Permits will be scheduled based on site and staffing availability.

  • Payment is due at the time of reservation.  

  • Photography permits are non-refundable; sessions may be rescheduled up to 72 hours in advance; rescheduled time will be based on availability and must be within 12 months of the originally scheduled session.

  • Access to specific garden spaces is not guaranteed and will be dependent on existing programming and public visitation.

  • No pets are allowed at The Gardens. Please refer to our Plan Your Visit webpage for additional information on what is permitted or prohibited on our grounds.
