Photo/Film Shoots

Described as an "oasis in the Bronx," the Garden's natural beauty creates the perfect location for most commercial photo and film shoots. And it's just 20 minutes from Manhattan. The Garden's outdoor wonders set the stage for breathtaking photos.

Fees for indoor and outdoor photo and film shoots are determined by senior Garden personnel based on dates, times, and accessibility of locations.

Film shoots in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory are restricted to dates, times, and access as determined by the Associate Vice President for Special Events, Vice President of Security and Operations, and Director of the Conservatory.

The Garden hosts wedding photography from April until October at the entrance pavilion to the Benenson Ornamental Conifer Collection. Permits may be obtained by applying through our Special Events department. For more information on wedding photography at the Garden, please call 718.817.8710.
