Romantic Avon Gardens Engagement Session
If you’re dreaming of a dreamy engagement session surrounded by lush florals, winding garden paths, and golden-hour light—this Avon Gardens engagement session is everything you need for inspiration. Located just west of Indianapolis, Avon Gardens is one of Indiana’s hidden gems for couples looking for a romantic, nature-filled backdrop.
Why Avon Gardens Is a Dream Engagement Location
Avon Gardens offers five acres of stunning landscape—complete with waterfalls, floral arches, and whimsical garden corners that look like they’re straight out of a fairytale. For couples wanting a mix of elegance and charm without venturing too far from Indianapolis, this location checks every box.
Styling and Wardrobe Tips for Avon Gardens Engagement Sessions
For this shoot, Elizabeth wore a soft white dress that flowed beautifully with the wind, while Riley kept it timeless with a white button-up and navy blue pants. I always recommend choosing neutral colors that complement the natural tones of the garden, especially in spring and early summer.
Tip for future clients: Avoid neon or overly busy patterns so you stay the focus of the photos—not your clothes!
Best Time of Year to Shoot at Avon Gardens
Late spring through early fall is ideal for an Avon Gardens engagement session. During this time, the flowers are in full bloom and the garden is alive with color. However, we timed this session for mid May and these photos came out BEAUTIFUL. This shoot took place around 10AM, and these direct sun shots are amazing.
Planning Your Engagement Session at Avon Gardens
If you’re considering your own engagement shoot at Avon Gardens, here are a few quick tips:
- Avon Gardens requires all photographers to have a permit, so ensure your photographer has one well in advance of the shoot. https://www.avongardens.net/photos
- Bring comfy shoes to walk between spots (you can swap to cute ones later!).
- Pack bug spray if you’re coming in the evening.
- Don’t be afraid to bring personal props like a picnic blanket, champagne, or even your pup (make sure they are on a leash)!
