Prom/Homecoming Photos at Morven Park
Morven Park is pleased to serve our high school community as a beautiful backdrop for prom and homecoming photos. However, we have had to make some adjustments to our photo policy which is outlined below.
Please note that due to the popularity of Morven Park as a venue for both Prom and Homecoming pictures, the Foundation must staff and schedule these photo sessions as events to handle parking, manage flow, and ensure that everyone has a safe an enjoyable session within designated park hours. To that end, we can no longer offer these photo shoot events for free.
We will now be taking reservations that must be made in advance by purchasing a vehicle pass. Passes are $20 per car, $50 per limo, $100 per bus. Purchase Tickets Here.
2023 Prom photoshoots are available from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the following dates: April 15, 20, 28, 29 and May 12, 13, 20 of 2023. The Park is closed for special events on May 5 and May 28; therefore, prom photos are not permitted on these dates.
Passholders must enter Morven Park through the Old Waterford Road gate. Tickets will be checked at the gate and passholders must park in the Visitors Parking lot.
There are no refunds on passes purchased for this event. Morven Park closes at 6:00 p.m. promptly.
While on the property, we ask that you please be respectful of the Park’s property, statues, and buildings and do not litter.
