Colonial Park in Somerset provides beautiful scenery year-round. With daffodils blooming in late spring to gorgeous pops of colorful roses, and burnt hues in the autumn months, it’s easy to see just how Colonial Park has become a favorite for all types of photoshoots. Please note: a photography permit must be purchased through the Park Commission in order to hold a shoot.

Walking into Cross Estate Gardens is like walking into a fairytale. Here the historic beauty of the area collides with scenic gardens and natural surroundings. Find wisteria covered pergola in late April and the flowering rhododendron in late May. Even outside of these months, there is always something beautiful to find at Cross Estate. Please contact management at the gardens for a photo license.
