Photography, Videography & Filming

Duke Gardens is the perfect backdrop for your photos.

Photographs are a wonderful way for visitors to remember their Duke Gardens experience. For your own enjoyment, you are welcome as a visitor to take in-the-moment photographs of plants, individuals and subjects that capture the events of your visit. 

For any pre-planned or posed photography taken at the Gardens including, but not limited to wedding, engagement, pregancy, family, quinceañera photos, senior pictures and corporate groups, a photography permit is required. You may apply for the fee-based permit using the request form below. Do I need a permit
