Frequently Asked Questions

If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, you are required to obtain a photography permit.

  • Is the primary purpose of your visit to capture photos of you, your family or a group?
  • Will a photographer, professional or hobbyist, paid or not, be accompanying you to take the photos?
  • Are you wearing wedding attire, formal attire, costumes or coordinating casual wear?
  • Are you promoting a brand or taking photos for a sponsored post?
  • Could I do this in my backyard, but made a special trip to do this at Tudor Place?
  • Will you be profiting from these photos?

Do I need a photography permit if I come to Tudor Place during public hours?

Yes.  If you answered yes to any of the questions about when a photograph permit is required, you are required to obtain a photography permit prior to your visit.

What does a photography permit cover?

Tudor Place/s photography permit provides non-exclusive access to the 5 1/2 acre garden.  Permits are available at an hourly rate based on availability. The interior of the historic house museum is not available for portrait or formal photography. Photography permits are not the same as private rentals and do not guarantee private access to any spaces on the property.

Can I book a photography permit outside of public hours?

Yes.  A photography permit can be arranged outside of regular public hours based on availability, Tuesday through Sunday.

Do you allow day-of-walk ins?

No. Walk-in permits cannot be accommodated due to previous event books, public musuem hours and other scheduled permits.  All photography permits must be pre-arranged prior to your visit.

What if it rains and I need to reschedule?

We understand that scheduling an outdoor photography session can rely on several factors, including weather and will assist securing a rain date at the time of booking.  Rescheduling for any reason other than inclement weather incurs a small fee.

Will there be other photography permits issued at the same time as mine?

No.  We do not issue multiple permits for the same time.
