As the official photographers for Media Night at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, we had the joy of capturing the very first look at this enchanting experience. From glowing orbs and color-changing sculptures to dreamy light tunnels and illuminated garden paths, it was a feast for the senses.

But what made it truly magical? The people. Friends, families, and couples wandered the winding trails, bundled in soft scarves and puffer coats, taking in every glowing detail together.

Why We Photograph Events Like This

We donate our photography to community events like Glowing Gardens because we believe in supporting the organizations that make Jacksonville brighter—literally and figuratively. The Arboretum created something extraordinary, and we’re honored to help share that story through images.

What’s Next

Glowing Gardens is just getting started. With a bigger, even more dazzling experience planned for 2025, this event is destined to become a seasonal must. If you didn’t catch it in 2024, make sure it’s on your calendar next year.
