Not only is the Denver Botanic Gardens a great spot for your engagement photos, its even sweeter when you're members and have some great memories there as well.
Effie and Hank are such a sweet, goofy, fun couple it's hard not to immediately love them. They are certainly my kind of people. They love to dance, even if its silly. We had a bunch of fun taking their engagement photos all over the gardens during this goregous summer afternoon. You really couldn't ask for much better weather and a lack of people. Win! Effie knows a lot about plants and was dropping some fun info here and there and it was really interesting to hear and learn.
Effie and Hank are getting married at the Dunafon Castle later in the year. Check out their wedding here. It was a fun moment when Effie presented Hank with a giant Lynk sword replica during the ceremony.
Something really special happens when you really connect with someone. You want to go do more, keep the fun happening. I remember after this session I was like, "Wow we had a great time, and that light?!! I can't wait to edit these and send them back." I live for that. Doesn't always happen every shoot but when it does, it's what keeps me going. I love making an impact in their lives, and they in mine.
Taking your engagement photos at the Botanic Gardens is pretty simple. Here is a few helpfun hints and tips for having a great photo session.
Obtain a photo permit.
The gardens require a photo permit. Photographers can get an annual pass or you can get a single session permit. They need to be obtained prior to the session at least one week prior and not more than one month in advance. You do get a discount if you're a member!
Definitely! They have several space available for rent for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hour, both ceremony and reception, reception only, and rehearsal dinner.
The short answer is anywhere in public spaces. Be very mindful of the paths and edges of the living spaces as you can not go off-trail.
