wow, thats crazy! how can they charge money if it's a public park? can't you just show up and do what you want? (within reason, obviously, but it's not like taking pics will disturb the peace or anything...) I think you should look for another place that is free, no reason to pay $100 to be in a public place. we got ours done in a park too but other than some random looks, no one noticed us and we def didn't have to pay...good luck!
Yep, we paid about a $40 entry fee to the City Museum. It was a photographer's price (obviously we weren't there to do the slides and play and stuff) but still, I was like, "hm that sucks"

We took our e-pics at a botanical garden. There was an entry fee of $5 per person, which I was definietly ok with. HOWEVER, once we arrived, I saw a sign at the desk saying that professional photography/portraits at the garden was not allowed without prior approval and payment of fees! I was like "What? - I didn't see that anywhere online!"
Anyway, we all kept quiet about it, scampered away and took the pictures anyway, and we totally got away with it!
I'm paying for my engagement session but mine's not really at a public place. We are doing ours at Angels Stadium and they asked us to make a $100 donation to the Angels Baseball Foundation -- which I'm totally okay with knowing it's not a public place and that it will be going to a foundation. I've always been a big fan of their foundation anyway so it was kind of a great way to give and get a lil something in return... entire access to the stadium. :)
We did our e-pics at a public park that was attached to a historic home. We took pictures throughout the park and then wandered over to the mansion. I'm sure we were supposed to pay a fee at the home, but since it was after hours on Sunday, there weren't any employees around.
I did what soon2beemrslewis did and had our e-pics at angel stadium. We "donated" 200 dollars to the angels baseball foundation to have access to the entire stadium for 2 hours. Amazing and well worth the money! We got greatcomplkments on our pics and people were amazed we took them there and could do that.
Naangel & Soontobee: oh my goodness, why didn't I think of Angel Stadium! I love that place! But I am happy with my choice and so excited anyways to be taking pics at this park! I don't feel so bad now :)

Hi Bees!
Just wondering...did anyone pay for their engagement shoot location?
I have researched several places and all of the ones we liked required at least $100 for a two hour photoshoot reservation! We finally decided to take our pics at the Point Fermin Park in San Pedro but get this....its $100 for a photoshoot at the Lighthouse, $25 for the Korean Bell and $25 for just the park grounds....and these are just public parks! I just think this is a total ripoff! Plus they wouldn't allow photoshoots on Saturdays and Sundays!
All these little "costs" are slowly chipping away our budget!
