Goodell Gardens & Homestead is a beautiful place year-round! And we love that photographers and other artists find inspiration on our grounds.
As a nonprofit organization, we do ask that any professional photographers who use our site make an appointment with us so that we can make sure you’re not scheduled during an event, large construction project, or rental, and we do charge a fee to help support those beautiful Gardens that make such a nice backdrop.
PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY: Visitors are welcome to take snapshots for personal use during their visit to the Gardens. Professional photoshoots (Wedding, Senior Picture, Family Portraits, etc) MUST be scheduled with our office by phone (814-734-6699) ahead of time and will incur a fee of no less than $5 per person to help support the Gardens. This fee is waived for photos taken during wedding/party site rentals.
PHOTOGRAPHERS ONSITE AFTER HOURS WITHOUT PERMISSION ARE TRESSPASSING AND WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. REPEAT OFFENSES MAY INVOLVE LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Looking for access to the site during Golden Hour? We have a program for that.
