Cherry Blossoms and Furry Friends at Dover Neighbourhood Park
A Quiet Spot Tucked Away in Richmond
Dover Neighbourhood Park is one of those places that feels like a secret. If you’ve been wanting cherry blossom photos without the weekend crowds, this little park might be what you’re looking for.
Late Blooming Blossoms Are the Real Win
Most cherry trees in the city are done blooming by early April. But this park holds on a little longer. That means even if you missed the early bloom, you can still catch those soft white petals around mid to late April. It’s a peaceful window that’s perfect for a slower-paced session.
A Simple Walkway with Something Special
There’s a path here lined with cherry trees on both sides. Nothing fancy. Just something quiet and real. The way the petals hang over you feels calm and intimate. It’s a great spot for photos that don’t feel posed or overly styled.
Space to Breathe and Be Yourselves
Dover isn’t as busy as places like Garry Point or Steveston. That helps. Especially when pets are part of the session. It gives us room to take it slow and let your dogs sniff around and settle in. No distractions. Just honest moments.
Natural Light That Works Without Trying Too Hard
The trees here create a soft light that looks good on everyone. I usually shoot here in the early morning or close to sunset. That’s when the light is golden and flattering. Everything feels warm and true to life.
