Inniswood Metro Garden

Inniswood Metro Garden is a GORGEOUS location in Westerville, Ohio. It is a botanical garden and nature preserve located at 940 South Hempstead Road. It is open daily from 7AM until 7PM without an admission fee. It is open all year long and there are definitely different times of the day/season that can be better to visit!

One important thing to note is Inniswoods is an extremely popular area during Prom AND Graduation season. I HIGHLY recommend (if possible) clients getting there as early as possible! I have even suggested to clients that if they want photos taken professionally at the location, to try to do it prior to the date. It's not always ideal, but even a pre-prom session will give most clients the ideal session they're envisioning. Make it fun and go on a date to celebrate getting dressed up or go dance with friends! Have fun with it!

Remember, if you can't get your prom photos done prior to the date, just be mindful the area will be busy.

Photo Spots

Inniswood's has the cutest arch towards the middle of the park! Every year they seem to change the type of flowers/plants that grow around it, but it is always a go to spot!

The arch (near location 3 on the map) also can change within a month it seems! These two photos (to the left) were taken about a month apart from each other and the flowers were already different! It was much fuller and greener than previously.

You can get amazing photos from different angels! The flowers always add something for your clients to look at or interact with as well!

Winter arch photos may not seem like they would work, but they turn out adorable! (scroll through to see the winter photos)

Behind the arch is their 'Herb Garden' (near location 4 on the map). It is a beautiful path that leads to a blue wooden seating area! This is my second go to spot at Inniswoods, especially with cap and gown graduation photos!

Going towards location 5 on the map is one of the bridge areas. It is very big, perfectly between the trees, and it has a slight arch to it! At least one bench to sit and relax near.
