This location is a photographer's dream! The Pittsburgh Botanic Gardens is located in Oakdale, PA and is gorgeous with a capital "G"!

The Botanic Gardens sits on 452 acres, making it among the top 10 largest American botanical gardens. A walk through the gardens has it all...treed & flower-lined pathways, a meadow, gazebo, log cabin, stone ruins and more! My favorite location in the gardens is the lotus pond complete with a footbridge and stepping stones over the water.

I could literally spend days here wandering around and this is the kind of place that each time you go, you discover something new. 

This location charges a $100 access fee for professional photography but allows you to bring up to 10 guests for the 2 hour session. Well worth the money for a unique location whose photo opps are endless!
