Photography & Filming

Photography

Tuckahoe’s beautiful gardens, fields, and historic buildings provide a stunning and unique backdrop for photos. Photography sessions are scheduled by appointment only and reserved by the hour. We try to keep the number of photo sessions on the ground to a maximum of 2 at a time, so you have the intimate setting you’re looking for.

Photography Fees:

  • $50 per hour for standard “Full Access” photo sessions. This gives you access to the formal grounds, gardens, building exteriors, fields and cedar lined lane (great for Maternity, Graduation, Engagement, Senior or Family Photos for groups of 10 or less).
  • $20 per hour for “Fields Only” sessions. This gives you photography access ONLY to the fields along the lane.
  • $75 per hour for styled shoots on the grounds. This allows you to bring in whatever props, tables or decorations you need to set the scene for your photo shoot. Negotiable flat fee for an all-day shoot.
  • $100 per hour for Portraits inside the historic mansion (Tuckahoe Staff must be present).

Note, this fee does not include a photographer.

To book a photo session, please click the green “book now” button and go to “photography sessions.”

If you need to reschedule a booked session due to weather or any other reason, we can do so with no charge to any date and time that are available, just reach out at let us know

We ask that all photography sessions be considerate to other visitors and residents of the property. Our cedar lined lane is incredibly photogenic, and is a popular spot for photography. However it is also the only entrance onto the property, and we ask that you be aware and thoughtful of others as they come and go.  After you’ve captured the magic, please step aside and let folks through. Thanks for helping keep Tuckahoe friendly!

Filming

Tuckahoe has been the set of many film productions, large and small. If you are interested in using Tuckahoe for your next film project, please reach out to us directly for details on availability and location fees.

If you want to hear more about the films that have been made here (which include AMC’s Turn series, The Love Letter, Mercy Street, and many more), let us know! We offer many different focus tours of the house and grounds, and can give you and your group a guided tour of the property focusing movies and shows that have been made here.
