THE VIRGINIA ROBINSON GARDENS

STILL PHOTOGRAPHY

 

 

Still photography is the only form of filming allowed at the gardens.  There is an application (P&R82-A) and a contract that needs to be completed by the contact person and states, in depth, rules and regulations that must be followed by representatives of the company and all involved with the location while on the premises.

 

We need to be informed of the number of people to arrive for the shoot, including cast and crew, the number of vehicles, the type of equipment and where exactly they wish to shoot.  Remember no street parking or unloading.

 

All types of still photography is permitted, we do not allow nudity.  All are subject to the fees.

 

Filming hours:  Between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.; Tuesday through Friday only.  There are NO exceptions.  The Environmental Impact Report prohibits garden visitors at other times.

 

Cost is $800.00 per day/session.  A check made out payable L.A. County Department of Parks and Recreation, 10-14 days before the shoot is ideal but not always realistic, if it is later than that, cash is required.  We do accept out of state checks.

 

General Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance in the amount of 2 million dollars, covering the shoot and naming the County of Los Angeles as additionally insured is required.  We need a copy of this insurance before filming can begin.
