Photography Permit Required for All Photo Shoots
Permit submission required two weeks prior for Montalvo’s exterior grounds. Permits do not allow access to the interior of the Villa or any other facilities on-site for any reason.
Wedding, engagement, head shots, family portraits, model shoots, student projects, event-related, drone photo/videos, and all other portrait photography are permitted by appointment only and are subject to certain permit and fee requirements. Base permit fees for photography are dependent on the size of the party being photographed:
1–5: $200
6–10: $500
11–15: $750
>15: $1,000
Additional fees may apply depending on the scale and nature of the shoot.
Submit both the Permit Application and Credit Card Authorization Form at least two weeks before your proposed photo shoot to permits@montalvoarts.org.
Submission does not constitute approval. Photography may begin only after Montalvo Arts Center provides written approval.
