Any recommendations on beautiful locations for bridal portraits--and what those locations charge to let you do that, if you know?  I don't know the Dallas area and will appreciate any input.  I'm looking for inside and outside options.  Thank you!

    What area of Dallas are you looking for?  I know the botanical gardens at TWU are nice and they don't charge anything, but it is in Denton.

    I did mine at the Arboretum.  There is a charge, but my photographer had a season pass, so we didn't have to pay anything.  I loved them and they turned out beautiful!

    The canals at Las Calinas make for nice pics, too.  If you like more "artsy", pics, then the Cotton Mill in McKinney is really good, but I think they charge.

    I second the garden at TWU. There is a bathroom right in front of the apartments that I believe are open all the time.I don't know about their cleaniness though, but the bathrooms in hubbard hall( building next to the library are very nice). I used to live on campus and would see brides taking photos all the time. There is a nice water fountain as well in front of the library.

    For outside I love the Arboretum and for inside I love the Stoneleigh Hotel.  You can do inside/outside at Arlington Hall, which is beautiful but I think inside is $150.  The Old Red Courthouse is pretty and you can get cool downtown Dallas shots outside.  Don't know the charges on any of these others though.  For a more modern vibe there is the Cotton Mill in McKinney.

    What stephie said. Arboretum is great for outdoor portraits because it offers a lot of different scenery.  It's free to take pictures there but if you want to change on site, you have to rent their VIP dressing room (I paid $150 for 2 hours) because they won't let you change in their bathrooms.  Otherwise you can get dressed first, then show up.

    I also like the Meyerson for clean, modern portraits as an indoor option.
