PC: Promised Farm Photography

Photographers' Access

These time slots are geared towards professional photographers. Photography services or cameras are not included. If you have a professional camera and come with paying clients or models you need to pay this fee.

By purchasing a spot, you the photographer, will have access to the farm to snap amazing pictures. Photographers' access will grant you a spot at the farm for the day you purchased it.

There are two options for photographers to use the farm grounds:

Reservations: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, we limit the amount of photographers that can be on site (only 20 spots per night). This option is great if you want a more intimate feel for you and your clients. No music or events will happen during these spots. Photographers' clients and models will pay their entry fee at the door ($10 per person over 10 years old).

Photographers, you can pay ahead for your clients the day of the session. You need to provide a list of names and make the payment at the check in area. Once your subjects arrives, they can just check in by name (Example: Smith family, party of 2, Johnson family party of 4, etc.).

Day time walk ins: No reservations needed for morning/afternoon hours Saturdays (make a reservation for sunset hours) . You will pay your photographers fee at the door, your clients/subjects will pay their visitors fee at the door ($10 per person over 10 years old, pets over 10 lbs. pay $10).

Music, vendors, and events might be happening during Saturday mornings. Please keep this in mind when visiting. See our calendar for a full list of events.
