Denver Nature and Wildlife Photography

Spring is here, and the first wave of blooms is emerging. This is the first in our Denver Botanic Gardens Photography Excursion Series, where we will capture how the gardens transform through the seasons from early spring to summer’s peak and into autumn’s vibrant change.

For this session, we will meet later in the day to take advantage of the soft evening light and golden hour, which is perfect for rich, warm tones and dynamic compositions. Expect to see early spring blooms like tulips, daffodils, cherry blossoms, and magnolias as the gardens wake up from winter.

📍 Meeting Spot & Timing
We will meet immediately after you enter the gardens through the main gate. Please be on time, as we will start moving at 5:45 PM sharp. If you arrive late, you will need to find us inside the gardens.

🌅 What to Expect
📸 Golden-hour photography with warm tones and long shadows for dramatic compositions
🌷 Seasonal transformation as this is the first of multiple meetups to document nature’s evolution
🤝 Great social opportunity to connect with fellow photographers and share techniques
