Photography Policy
Protecting our Picture Perfect Setting
We understand that Barnsley Resort’s landscape and grounds are a photographer’s dream and make a beautiful backdrop for a variety of photos. Since this is privately owned property, we do require express prior permission for access to the grounds for professional photography for any of the following types of shoots:
Weddings & Special Events
For weddings and other special events held at the resort, photography and filming may be coordinated working with the designated special events or conference services manager.
Personal Photo Shoots
Personal photo shoots are not permitted at the resort, including engagements, family portraits, graduation, prom, homecoming and other situations that may or may not include hiring a third party photographer. If a third party photographer indicates they have permission to access the resort “at any time” or similar, this information is incorrect and this individual may be subject to removal or revocation. Exceptions to engagement photos may be made for couples who have confirmed their wedding plans at Barnsley Resort. These arrangements are confirmed and approved by the couple’s designated event manager.
Commercial Photography & Filming
For commercial photography that is intended to showcase a product or other commercial interest, rental fees apply and specific locations must be reserved in advance through Group Sales or Conference Services. Barnsley Resort’s President or Director of Marketing must approve any commercial photo shoot or filming before it is confirmed with additional approval of the resulting photographs or video footage before they are published. Commercial shoots, once approved, are limited to approved locations within the resort as arranged with the designated event manager for this event. For assistance with commercial photography or filming, please contact Group Sales at 770.773.7480 ext. 2050.
Location Shoots
For location shoots for film or television productions, please contact the Marketing Department at 770.773.7480 ext. 2034 or via email.
Media Requests
For editorial requests and other journalistic needs such as articles for newspaper or magazines, digital media (including blogs), television or radio, please contact the Marketing Department at 770.773.7480 ext. 2034 or Diamond Public Relations at 305.854.3544 or [email protected] to discuss your needs and arrange an approved time to capture these images.
