London Hampton court

[Sunnyr83]

Hi.
I have a pre wedding shoot coming up and my clients have requested 1 of their locations at Hampton court in Middlesex. Has anybody ever photographed here and are there any restrictions regarding shooting? I do sometimes use off camera flash and softbox or umbrella depending on the situation as well. Can't see nothing online regarding this.

Any info appreciated. TIA

I'm betting (well I know) there is no way you'll be able to use HCP for this. They have some very strict guidlines for photographers operating on the premises, that's assuming your couple pay the rather hefty fee. You will be stopped if you don't pay it. I'd advise them to think of another location

You certainly can shoot at HCP, but:

1) it's very expensive - think £350 per hour
2) no flash, maximum lighting levels mean no flash
3) if it's not LED, it needs modifying
4) you'll have a conservation expert monitoring you don't damage anything
