Is there a location fee here?

[ST77]

Yes there is a fee there I think its 5 or 6 per person, I just get the annual pass that lets me bring any 4 people with me makes things cheaper for me.

I shot there last week. I absolutely loved it!

I did an engagement shoot in the fall. All the Cyprus trees were different colors in order of the spectrum, it was amazing. I got some beautiful shots with the couple standing in front of the little lake with green, yellow, orange, and red cyprus behind them and reflected in the water. Everyone says it looks almost like a fake, muslin background, but it's not. the Botanicals are a great place too shoot. even the little houses and shacks they have are nice and there are large logs that almost look like photo props. Amazing locale.
