Photography at Wicked Tulips
Capture the Perfect Shot
Our fields are a dream backdrop for photographers of all levels. Here's everything you need to know before you shoot.
📷 General Visitor Photography
Bring your camera — photography is one of the best parts of visiting! We just ask that you follow a few simple rules to keep everyone safe, happy, and surrounded by undamaged blooms.
Allowed — just keep them out of high-traffic areas and be mindful of other guests.
Props, reflectors, and lighting equipment are not permitted for general visitors.
Phone to DSLR — go wild and capture those gorgeous blooms!
Strictly prohibited at both farm locations for safety and privacy reasons.
Don't step into the flower rows. Damaged flowers are your responsibility to pay for.
Tractors and all farm equipment are strictly off-limits — no climbing, sitting, or posing.
Professional Photography Guidelines
A site fee and scheduling are required for any shoot intended for monetary gain. No pets permitted. We love having you — thank you for helping make this a safe and successful season!

How to Book Your Shoot
- Purchase your site fee first — you'll receive a confirmation email with a confidential link to buy client tickets.
- Do not forward the confidential link to clients — they cannot purchase these tickets themselves.
- Client tickets are nonrefundable. We recommend buying them the day before — they don't sell out.
- Managing multiple sessions? Create a free Acuity Scheduling account after purchasing your site fee.
Canceling or Rescheduling
- To cancel: Cancel at least 1 hour before your appointment for a full site fee refund. After that, you'll receive a 50% refund. Refunds take up to 30 days.
- To reschedule: Allowed any time up to 1 hour before your shoot using the link in your confirmation email.
- We suggest building a cancellation deposit into your client contracts so you're not left liable.
When You Arrive
- Photographers and clients use the Photography Check-in line — not the regular visitor line.
- The field is open to all visitors — no cordoned-off area. Set appropriate expectations with your clients.
- If your shoot ends at close (7 PM), plan to be done and leaving by 7 PM. Have clients pick tulips before the shoot.
- Clients cannot enter without their ticket. It's the photographer's responsibility to ensure they have them.
Equipment & Gear
- Permitted: camera bag, lenses, tripods.
- Not permitted: reflectors, light stands, props, or any additional equipment.
- Bring your own baskets — we may have some available but cannot guarantee supply at shoot time.
