a picture-perfect location

Let your creativity flow

Thirteen acres of curated gardens, plus indoor spaces full of brightly coloured walls, eclectic furniture, potted plants and Mexican-themed artwork. Whatever you’re shooting, there’s a backdrop here for it. We can even open up at dawn or dusk, or during the spring flowering season when the whole place is in bloom.

Mister Zimi, among the cacti

The very first campaign shot in our garden, and still one of our favourites. Bold prints, big desert light and a thousand spiky extras. Turns out our cacti make quite the backdrop. Here’s a look at how it came together.

The garden

Towering cactus, winding red paths and huge open skies.

Indoor spaces

Bright walls, eclectic furniture and Mexican artwork.

Dawn or dusk

Golden light and long shadows, before or after hours.

In bloom

Time it for spring and shoot among the flowering cacti.

From behind the lens

“The venue itself is gorgeous with endless spots for photos!”
