Photography at Ashland

Photography Sessions on The Grounds

We love that you love Ashland!

The grounds are a perfect backdrop for all kinds of photoshoots. Our fees help us maintain the wear and tear of the grounds so beautiful photos can continue being taken decades to come!

Anyone holding photoshoots on our property in a non-tourist capacity is required to pay a nominal fee for an Ashland Grounds Photo Pass for daily, monthly, or annual use.

*Photographers may schedule multiple clients in a single day at a discounted rate of $25 per client.

  • Post images and video from their visit on personal social media sites. (Tag @henryclayestate for a chance to be featured on Ashland’s social media channels!)

Visitors may NOT:

  • Use flash inside the house or exhibition spaces.

  • Bring bulky camera bags or equipment. 

  • Use stabilization devices (tripods, monopods) or selfie sticks inside the house or indoor exhibits.
