TUDOR PLACE | OPEN. Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Sunday Noon – 4 p.m. Click for info.

Photography & Filming

Throughout the year, Tudor Place welcomes film and photography. All photography and filming at Tudor Place requires a permit.  No photography shoots, professional or hobbyist, may be conducted on site without prior arrangement.

When is a photography permit required?

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?
  • Ask yourself, can I do this in my backyard, but I 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 your visit falls under the purposes above, 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 our 5 ½ acre garden. Permits are available at an hourly rate based on availability. The interior of the historic house 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 in the garden.

Can I book a photography permit outside of public hours?

Yes, photography permits are available based on availability outside of public hours, Wednesday – Sunday.

Do you allow day-of walk-ins?

We do not allow day-of walk-ins due to previous event bookings, public museum hours and other scheduled photography 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. We suggest you also secure 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.

Do I need to use a photographer from the Preferred Vendors List?

You do not need to use a photographer on the Preferred Vendors List, but you will need to provide the Private Events Manager with the name and contact information of your photographer for insurance purposes. If your photographer has not been to Tudor Place before, the Private Events Manager can arrange a time for them to see the site prior to your photography permitted session.

How do I get a photography permit?

Email the Private Events Manager at events@tudorplace.org for availability and to obtain a permit.
