Photography Sessions at Kimberly Crest

Kimberly Crest is the picture-perfect setting for photography that marks those special moments and milestones in your life. Acres of terraced gardens, curved stairways, koi ponds, water features, citrus groves, century-old architecture and stunning Southern California skies all contribute to making the landmark an effortlessly romantic venue for any occasion.

We encourage informal picture-taking using personal devices to share with friends and family and on social media. These are permitted throughout the gardens without reservation. Such photos may not be used for commercial purposes without prior written approval.

If you hire a professional photographer, or if the set up for your session is more formal or posed in nature, even if taken by family member, friend, or other nonprofessional, advanced reservations are required and photography fees may apply:

  • Monday – Wednesday 10 AM to 4 PM | Thursday – Friday 10 AM to Noon
