To pay $200 for japanese teahouse photo shoot or not?

I was thinking about doing our outdoor pictures at the japanese teahouse in Fairmount park. It would make a great  romantic backdrop and outdoor location for our photo shoot on our wedding day... so i contacted them and they request $200 for a 1 hour photo shoot there! Ugh! I told them, we dont have a bridal party, so it will be just me, my FI and the photographer...but still $200 an hour... And that's during their opening hours, so there might be other visitors during that time of our photo shoot. If we want a private photoshoot after hours, then it would be $400 fee... ugh... we have the budget for it, but i just dont feel comfortable to shell out $200 for a 1 hour photo shoot... and if it's raining that day,  then we can't even get a refund... Cry

Decisions, decisions... would you pay that fee?

    That's tough. WIll there be other places for you to take pictures? Do you think you'll regret it if you don't?

    Yeah they are a bit pricey I remember looking into them for ceremony only and their prices and space limitations made them a NOGO for me...BUT I agree with Teep do you think you'll regret it if you don't, it is a unique place for Philly.

    $200 isn't bad honestly. I looked at some of the arboretums out of the city and they wanted a few hundred.

    Longwood is nice, but it may not be in the area of the wedding. I'm guessing you're getting married in the city. A trip to Longwood on turnpike traffic is going to screw up even the most organized bride's timeline.
