PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO GUIDELINES
Blackacre welcomes photographers to capture the natural beauty at our Historic Homestead. We have nearly 300 acres of fields, streams, meadows and historic structures to enjoy. In order to maintain the integrity and beauty of our grounds, we do require permits.
Portrait photography, commercial photography and videography requires a permit. Portrait photographers may choose from a Day Pass ($25) or Annual Permit ($100). With an annual permit you will be updated on private event dates to to ensure that there are no conflicts.
Commercial photography/videography used for commercial purposes and in movies, documentaries, television commercials, brochures, business cards, annual reports, advertising, retail products, websites, model portfolios, promotional projects, music videos or similar profit-making projects must be scheduled in advance and fees will be negotiated independent of the registration. Unless otherwise negotiated, Blackacre will receive a site recognition in final products.
Fees are based on the scope of the project. Inquiries at 502-266-9802.
Note: Professional photography and videography at receptions, wedding ceremonies and private events scheduled at Blackacre are permitted with no additional fee.
