Taking photographs is a great way to capture memories of your trip to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. We welcome guests to take casual photos for their personal use and share them with us on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #fwbg.
However, we kindly request that you do not bring tripods, additional outfits, or any other equipment and instead use a monopod. Please make sure to stay on designated pathways and don’t forget to smile!
If the purpose of your visit is to take photographs using FWBG as a backdrop, a $30 photography fee per two hours will be charged plus general admission. The photography fee applies to but is not limited to, the following portrait occasions: Bridal, Engagement, Family/Lifestyle, Graduation/Senior Photos, Headshots/Portraits, Maternity, Prom, Proposal, Quinceañera, and Wedding*. The photography fee allows the use of tripods and other photography equipment as well as a change of wardrobe. It’s important to note that this fee applies equally to both professional and non-professional photographers, ensuring fairness and consistency in our policies.
Supporter, Patron, Affiliate, and Sustainer level FWBG members receive a $15 discount on photography fees. The photography fees cover admission for the number of people included in your membership. Guests over the number of people included in your membership must purchase general admission. The equipment and wardrobe rules listed above still apply. Discount does not apply to reciprocal members.

*Wedding Photography does not include a ceremony. If an officiant is present at your party this classifies as a wedding/event rental and needs to be scheduled through the rentals office. Please contact the rentals office at 817-463-4180 or events@fwbg.org to schedule your wedding ceremony.
There is no photography fee if you have a valid student ID. This applies only if you are a student working on a school project as a photographer or videographer. However, you need to show proof of your school project, school ID, and regular admission fees to enter the Garden.
Personal photographs and videos are not to be used for commercial purposes. Commercial photography includes, but is not limited to portfolio photography, stock images, display advertising, brochures, product literature, brand, and product photography, including fashion shoots, promotional use on a product, brand, company websites, and social media.
For such commercial use, a fee of $2,500 per day is applicable, and approval from management is required.
Media must contact FWBG’s marketing department and photographers should be accompanied by staff.
