LOCALE: Japanese Garden In Hermann Park

[Abel]

I stumbled across this on the internet and it seems VERY interesting. I had no idea this place even existed. It's a Japanese Garden located in Hermann Park and judging by the photos I bet it’s a great place to photograph.

Yes this is a nice place. I took a date there for a picnic once about 10 years ago, have not really been there since. Back then it was nice too.

I also saw this posted on Houston Metroblogs and was going to repost it here.

Also a nice setting for engagement pics.

Thanks to the admin. for a new forum specific to the Houston area.

I've shot here a couple times. An important thing to know is that if you want to leave the path to take photos you have to get a permit from the park to do so. I was attacked by a mad park working on a golf cart for leaving the path with no permit.... :roll:

[Abel]

wow really?

man while i was there there were like 4 young teenagers way off the path skipping rocks into the small pond there... go figure...

wish the golf cart guy was there then... hehe

I shot a bride at the Japanese Garden today. Called the parks dept. they didi'nt mind at all. One of the attendents even gave my bride a ride back to the car afterwards.

I stumbled onto the garden a couple of weeks ago. Look forward to going back in the springtime.

Just stumbled across this thread and thought I'd update it. The Japanese Gardens has a "No Professional Photography Allowed" signed posted outside now.
