Photography Policies/FAQs:
​
Photographers are welcome but must purchase a $25 pass to use our fields during normal you-pick operational times. ANY PHOTOGRAPHY BESIDES CELL PHONE USE REQUIRES A PASS. No drones allowed.
If you are a photographer and want to utilize our farm for sessions with clients during the “golden hours” it must be scheduled through our booking service on the website. The semi-private use is $25 an hour with the possibility that up to three photographers will be on site during that time. Private access is $250. Photographers can also purchase an annual pass for $250, which grants access to each season of blooms- tulips, sunflowers, and pumpkins for a calendar year, beginning July 1. This pass is for semi-private access only. Photographers holding season passes will be given early access to scheduling at the beginning of each season and one private session outside of the main seasons.
​
Photography of any kind must not interfere with events and regular operations that are occurring on the property. Prop usage will be limited to what a photographer can reasonably carry. Dogwood Blooms reserves the right to revoke a photography pass without refund for violation of posted farm rules, guest interference or generally unsavory behavior by the photographer holding the pass or their clients. At no time is the photographer or his/her client(s) allowed on any of the farm’s equipment (tractors, RTVs, sprayers, ladders, lawnmowers, or etc.).
Dogwood Blooms is a working farm. We cannot predict or control weather and further cannot predict the timing of blooming, harvesting, or pest interference. Best efforts will be made to ensure pass holders are given an opportunity to reschedule in the event of a natural occurrence prohibiting the photographer from holding their scheduled session.
​
Seasonal admission rates apply to all clients attending sessions held by the photographer both during normal operation hours and during semi-private golden hour access. Photographers' admission is included in the pass. Any crop harvested and used for photography props must be purchased, not paying for harvested crops, including flowers, is considered theft and could result in revocation of the photographer's pass, dismissal from the premises, and being banned from future bookings/use of the site.
​
This is a family friendly venue, please plan sessions accordingly.
​
We respectfully request all photos taken on our property be identified as being photographed at Dogwood Blooms, including those shared on social media sites.
