PLAN YOUR SESSION

We want to ensure comfort and sustainability for our guests and the venue space. Please note that air conditioning will not be running continuously in the solarium during the summer months. As such, photo sessions will be limited to outdoor areas, with the solarium available to use as a backdrop only. We’re limiting indoor AC to events only during this time.

If you are one of our couples redeeming your complimentary one-hour session: Please make a special request if you could like to use indoor spaces or if you prefer to stick to outdoors.

Public restroom access is available, and chapel access can be arranged upon request. If you would like to make a special request to use the solarium indoors, please let us know ahead of time. Thanks for your understanding!

Starting January 1, 2026, photo session rates will be $85 per hour for all outdoor spaces (1-hour minimum). Indoor access to the Chapel and/or Solarium is available for $25 per space.

Complimentary Sessions: Couples with weddings booked at The Little Chapel will continue to receive complimentary sessions, with the discount automatically applied at checkout. This includes access to all spaces.

We welcome a variety of photo sessions, including branding, bridal, engagement, maternity, family portraits, and limited styled shoots with approved creative teams.

Out of respect for the nature of our venue and its intended use, we do not host boudoir sessions or any sessions involving nudity, whether indoors or outdoors. Our property is largely an outdoor space, adjacent to private residences, and we aim to ensure all guests feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their time here.

Requests that do not align with these guidelines will not be accepted or will be canceled. Thank you for understanding and for helping us preserve the spirit of the space. Styled shoots do not fall into our standard booking rate, please inquire.

We love dogs! They’re welcome in our outdoor spaces as long as they remain on a leash and you bring waste bags for clean-up. Dogs are not permitted indoors or in the water.

Please note: We have three resident dogs on the property — two corgis and a golden retriever — who may be visible in their respective yards. To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, guest dogs must remain leashed at all times.
