Photo shoots can be booked in half hour arrival time slots and include entry for the photographer and the clients of 1 or 2 sessions or mini-sessions. No flowers are included with the “Photography Site Fee,” but your clients will get a discount on flowers on the day of their photo shoot.
You do not need to purchase a Photography Site Fee” ticket if you only plan to take photos of your immediate family. You should instead purchase regular timed tickets.
You do need to purchase a “Photography Site Fee” if the photo shoot is for monetary gain or an exchange of services, for a proposal, an engagement, for wedding photos, or for large groups; if the shoot will use equipment such as props, reflectors, diffusers, lights, or a detachable flash; or you are looking to take photos when we are regularly closed to the public.
Your tickets are flexible for the weather! If the weather is terrible on the day of your shoot, you can reschedule.
You are guaranteed entry during tulip season! The tulip season is busy and regular tickets sell out quickly. You can purchase your photography site fee well in advance.
You can bring props! A chair, bench, cute signs, or lighting. These sorts of things are not permitted unless you have a “Photography Site Fee.”
Your clients get a discount on flowers! Clients receive 10% off Grab&Go pre-made bouquets or 10 u-pick tulips for $10!
We grew your backdrop! Without our flowers, your client’s photos would not be as beautiful as they would be. It is only fair that you purchase the correct tickets to fairly compensate us.
If you book your shoot outside of “Golden Hour” photography times, you will be sharing the field with our general visitors. It is your skills as a photographer to position yourself to get the best shots.
Our fields can get very busy, particularly on weekends. We do not have a photography specific area in our fields because that would limit creativity and be less flexible if your clients want a particular shot with a particular flower.
We have bookable, photography only “Golden Hour” photography times on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 6 pm. We limit entry to photographers and their clients during these specific hours. There may be up to 5 other photographers and their clients during these times.Â
If you book your shoot outside of “Golden Hour” photography times, you will be sharing the field with our general visitors. It is up to you as the photographer to position yourself to get the best shots.
Please remember: Our field is huge! With 500,000 tulips, there are many opportunities for fantastic shots, even when the field is busy.
