I love the results from photography at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. There are just so many different places to produce great wedding and portrait photography that it never gets stale. To get the best results, when I do engagement portrait sessions at the Botanical Gardens, I ask the couples to plan for around 90 minutes to 2 hours to really get around the gardens and hit the best locations.
Tim and Tiffany drove up from Charlotte N.C. for their engagement session this past Saturday and I was a little concerned about the weather turning bad before we got started, but thankfully that storm we had didn’t impact this portrait session at all.
The first location chosen was in a field of daffodils. This one is a bit abstract below, but I liked the look.
Then we headed over to Renaissance Court and then the Perennial Gardens. Photography is these areas is amazing regardless of the time of year. I’ve done many weddings in both of these areas.

Here’s two more engagement portraits below from Renaissance Court.
The last place we chose was the bridge near the Rose Gardens. They’re obviously not blooming yet this early in the year, but the bridge and dogwood trees in the background were very nice.
I will normally shoot 200 or more pictures during an engagement session at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. Tim and Tiffany were up there at the norm! If you’d like to see a slide show of their session, you can view it by clicking here Tim and Tiffany are getting Married this May at Kiln Creek.
