Engagement Sessions at Bok Tower: Inspiration Guide

Flowers during blooming season at Bok Tower Gardens

Bok Tower Gardens is located in central Florida, in the town of Lake Wales. Once a estate to a publishing tycoon (Edward Bok 1863-1930) is now a gift to humanity. It’s the perfect location for engagement photos because it provides a variety of options from secret gardens to sprawling lawns, impressive architecture, huge trees, ponds, lush greens, blooming flowers, and more.

Depending on the season, you can either find the gardens in full lush green mode or colorful with blooming spring flowers.

The tower can be used as an epic backdrop from different angles

Depending on the time of the year and whether it’s daylight savings or not, there are some epic sunsets that bring out the most beautiful golden light

Bok Tower Gardens is one of my favorite location for engagement photos in central Florida. It’s never crowded and you can even bring your dog. For those wearing heels, I recommend bringing a separate pair of flats to get in and out of easily because there is a good amount of walking involved. For those who want to bring a second outfit, there are 3 bathrooms around the property for changing in privacy. You can also plan on enjoying a delicious treat after your engagement session at the Blue Palmetto Cafe located near the entrance and make a cute date out of it.
