I would like to share some really nice outdoor venues for taking photographs as well as list their photographer fees; some are free and some charge a fee. This is a work in progress so I will update it as I discover more beautiful places!
If you are a photographer, you will have to plan for the weather and the fees but if you are just visiting or enjoying family you can get some beautiful shots at these locations at no charge.
