Flamingo Gardens: a storybook forest in Broward
Paths under enormous trees, thousands of tropical plants and corners that feel like another world. Flamingo Gardens is for anyone who pictures their photos inside an enchanted garden.
Layers of green, shade and texture
Flamingo Gardens is a botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary in Davie, with dozens of acres and more than 3,000 rare and exotic plants. That variety gives you a different backdrop around every bend.
Monumental trees
Huge trunks and roots add scale and drama to a full-length portrait.
Natural shade
The canopy softens the Florida sun and keeps skin luminous and even.
Tropical foliage
Big leaves, blooms and deep greens frame your gown with no decoration needed.
Sessions that bloom at Flamingo Gardens
Quinceañera
Ball gown, tropical forest and family photos in one place. If the property allows it, we plan more than one look.
Family
Wide paths and shade keep grandparents and kids comfortable while we shoot.
Maternity
A long gown among giant leaves creates images full of life and calm.
The best light at Flamingo Gardens
Under the trees the light is already filtered, so you can shoot well for more of the day than at a beach. The exact time depends on the slots the property confirms.
- Morning: cooler air and clean greens.
- Late afternoon: golden tones slipping through the leaves.
- Season: November to April is usually drier and cooler; summer brings more mosquitoes and afternoon rain, and we plan for it.
What to wear at Flamingo Gardens
With so much green around, light and warm colors glow. Skip olive or khaki, which disappear into the background.
- Ball gowns in pink, lilac, red, ivory or gold.
- Trains you can gather up: some paths have soil and leaves.
- Families: a palette of two or three coordinated tones, no big prints.
- Bug spray and comfortable shoes for walking between shots.
You arrive ready; we coordinate
Some locations require a reservation, permit or venue fee. We confirm Flamingo Gardens' current rules and coordinate it when you book.
- We confirm the date, available time slot, number of guests and property requirements.
- Travel from Miami: on request. Any location fee is listed separately, in writing, in your quote.
- The animals that live at the sanctuary are not part of the session. If you're dreaming of photos with animals, we'll suggest our sessions with professional handlers at another location.
Pair it with another location or the studio
Davie is also home to a park of oaks and lakes, ideal for more natural photos. And for a styled set or one last look, there's always our Miami studio.
