Will venues generally allow you to take pictures before the ceremony?

I want to do a photo shoot before my wedding in our set-up reception venue, is that too much to ask? Or is that a common thing...?

We are very happy for photos to be taken throughout your stay at King Parrot Cottages. There are many photo opportunities from large hillside field expanse to a forested bush setting surrounded by tall timber and around a meandering creek on the forest floor amongst tree ferns and rainforest.

Hi Michaela G.

It will be a pleasure to have you at the Waterslide for your photoshoot. I will probably recommend a Sunday when it is not too busy or on a weekday until 4:00 pm

Kind regards

Some venues may ask for a photo shoot fee - as usually, they would need to allocate a team member to oversee your production and make sure no other guests uses the area you intend to have your shoot :)

Come visit us at Santai Retreat, we have beautiful photo shoot locations
