Engagement Photos Fit for Royalty at Glencairn Castle
If you’re looking for engagement photo locations that will make you feel like royalty, then try the Glencairn Castle. This is your moment for elegant attire and a photoshoot that’s all about you.
The Glencairn Castle is one of three historic buildings on the Glencairn property in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania. Aside from just engagement photos, you can host a Sweet Sixteen, Wedding, and other special events, but only wedding and engagement photos are permitted. It’s so easy to set up an appointment and have your special event photos taken on property.They require a rental agreement and a rental fee that’s due 14 days prior to your session.
Wherever you decide to strike a pose on the beautifully landscaped 6.2 acre property will determine the cost of your two hour photo session. The least expensive option is their Silver Level with a cost of $350. It includes the use of the exterior property which means you can take breathtaking photos in the Cloister Garden, Entrance Court, and Porte-Cochere. In all of these areas, you’ll be allowed to take photos with your wedding party (up to 30 people). Even in one area, there is plenty of options for a change in scenery. This is especially true during the golden hour when the sun sets from the top of the hill. It’s magical!
The next level is their Gold Level, which ranges in price from $500 to $750 and includes the same exterior photography locations as the Silver Level, but adds the Museum Tower. The Museum Tower only permits the bride and groom to take photos, so if you’re taking photos with a group, plan to take those photos first so that your party isn’t waiting for you to finish your private photoshoot. Scheduling for the tower is limited to opening hours on Tuesday to Friday (8 am to 5 pm) and on weekends (11:30 am to 5 pm).
The most expensive and final package is the Platinum Level and will cost you between $750 to $1,000. The Gold Level amenities are included, but it also allows you access to the interior Great Hall. This is also subject to operating hours, however, once inside, be sure your photographer doesn’t use tripod too close to artifacts. Inside houses a wide variety of religious pieces from almost every religion. The distinctive art collection isn’t the only “Wow” factor inside the home. It has a unique architecture, stone walls, and a cathedral-like decorative feel. It’s extremely spacious with lots of areas to sit or stand.
If you’d like to visit and explore the Glencairn Castle and Museum before committing, try their guided tours, events, or exhibitions that are held throughout the year. To all those who feel like royalty, this is a dream come true. Make sure to pick an appropriate outfit, one that dazzles and compliments your background. The most important feature you’ll need is an experienced photographer, like Carpe Diem Design Studio, a company that has already been to the Glencairn Castle and knows how to stage a beautiful photoshoot.
