The Huntington, Portraits Among the Gardens

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens is the best-known address in San Marino, and it is a favorite for engagement and portrait sessions. Posed photos there are booked ahead as a portrait session with a Huntington escort, so planning early helps. We can walk you through the booking steps and help you choose gardens that suit your style.

Plan ahead with our Huntington engagement photography guide, Huntington blog posts, Engagement and proposal photography, Recent sessions, and Garden wedding locations.

Roses, a Japanese Garden, and a Classical Chinese Garden

Henry Huntington's Rose Garden dates to 1908 and the Japanese Garden to 1912, and the Chinese Garden, Liu Fang Yuan, opened in 2008. One visit can give you very different looks: roses and lawns, a Japanese garden, and a classical garden with pavilions and a lake. We work in natural light and let the setting do most of the work.

 

Planning Around San Marino's Park and Venue Rules

San Marino is careful about its public spaces. Lacy Park does not allow weddings or wedding photos, though personal-use portraits are allowed when the photographer holds the required city license. For ceremonies and receptions, couples often look to nearby venues such as Almansor Court in Alhambra, and we are glad to help you sort out which place fits.
