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.

Lush greenery, romantic architecture, iron gates and bloom-filled spaces provide the perfect backdrop for engagement, wedding, family and personal photography.  Need a photographer? Check the preferred vendors list for recommendations.

When is a photography permit required?

  • When the primary purpose of your visit is to capture photos of you, your family or a group.
  • When a photographer (professional or hobbyist, paid or not) will be accompanying you to take the photos.

What does a photography permit cover?

Tudor Place’s photography permits provide non-exclusive access to the 5 1/2 acre garden. Permits are available at an hourly rate and the fee can be prorated in 30-minute increments. A permit may be purchased for time during and before or after Tudor Place’s open hours (Tues-Sat 10 am-4 pm and Sun 12 pm-4 pm) at the discretion and availability of the Private Events Manager. The interior of the 1816 Historic House is not available for portrait/formal photography.

How do I get a photography permit?

Call 202-580-7331 or email events@tudorplace.org to get started.

How far in advance do I need to schedule my photography permit?

You can reserve your photography permit at any time prior to your photo session. A deposit is required to hold the time slot. Tudor Place recommends at least one month in advance, and the more advance notice the better. Please note weekends fill quickly.

Do you allow day-of walk-ins?

Tudor Place cannot guarantee access to the garden for photography permits on a walk-in basis, due to other scheduled events.

What if it rains or I need to reschedule?

If you need to reschedule due to inclement weather, simply email events@tudorplace.org to find a mutually agreeable time. Rescheduling for any reason other than inclement weather incurs a small fee. Security deposits for cancellations due to  inclement weather cannot be refunded.

Interested in professional, styled shoots for print or digital media, portfolios, or professional filming space?

Tudor Place welcomes professional filming and photography.  Interior (Victorian Dower House) and exterior spaces (5 1/2 acre garden) available. Email events@tudorplace.org to discuss special rates, media exchanges, and potential dates.
