Photography at Chanticleer

Photographs are a lovely way to remember a visit to Chanticleer. Visitors may take casual photographs of their visit for their own use. However, we ask garden photographers to sign this form that outlines Chanticleer’s photography guidelines and restrictions. This form is also available at the Front Desk.

Portrait, Family, Wedding, and Engagement photography is not permitted in the garden (by professional or unpaid photographers).

Should your photos be used in any publication, please credit Chanticleer as the location. Any use, reuse, or reproduction by any means for commercial use without the express written consent of the Chanticleer is strictly prohibited.

Our photography policy is in place because we want to retain the intimate atmosphere of the garden and we want our visitors to take in Chanticleer’s unique beauty and history without the distractions that widespread photography can bring.

Please note:

• Any photo-taking must not interfere with the enjoyment of Chanticleer’s other guests.
• Drones are prohibited in the garden.
• Commercial filming and photography require advanced written permission from the Executive Director.
• All photography is at the discretion of Chanticleer.
• During your visit you may be filmed, videotaped and/or photographed by a Garden employee or contract photographer. Your attendance serves as permission for the use of your image by the Garden and its constituents.
