Parking: free and easy on the weekends- lots of stalls in front and behind the building
There isn't a Saturday almost any time of the year where you wont see a stream on Limousines and weddings parties outside The Legislative building. By far one of the most popular rain backups indoors (because it's free, and provides a warm regal setting) booking far in advance is a must.
Bookings enable the couple, wedding party and family use of the Grand Staircase for one half hour which I personally think is so-so. Most photographers will have their use of the windowed Hallways, arched doorways, pillars and stone walls. I also enjoy the Leg. because in the case of rain, outdoors under the front steps provides some cover.
Outdoors the Legislative building boasts a fountain, multiple staircases, pillars, benches, trees and access to the River. Also of importance is SHADE. During most times of the day, at least one of the outdoor staircases can escape the glare from the beaming sun, although unless overcast the fountain is in high sun for most of the day.
