COPPAL HOUSE FARM PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY AND AGREEMENT

 

Coppal House Farm is excited to provide our fields and property as a beautiful backdrop for your photos. We love seeing how differently everyone captures our farm and would like for you to take Coppal House Farm on Facebook & Instagram as well as use our hashtags #coppalhousefarm and #nhsunflower.

 

GENERAL PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDELINES | these guidelines are intended for all guests visiting the farm

• NO PETS are allowed on the farm at any time. This includes private photography sessions. (This is for the safety of your animal as well as ours.) Service animals (dogs that are trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability) are allowed. We do not allow emotional support animals.

• No drones allowed! Those caught flying a drone will be asked to forfeit the footage and will be asked to leave the property.

• No boudoir or nude photography allowed; this is a family friendly farm.

• Pay attention to all signs and do not go in unauthorized areas.

• Please be courteous of other guests and allow everyone the same photography opportunities.
