Bookings

Facilitating the creation of exceptional imagery

Our photography experiences are from Fridays to Mondays (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday). Other days can be arranged by special request. Photographers choose six species to photograph, from our available species, with a total duration of approximtaly 4,5 hours. This allows for ample time to photograph each species thoroughly. We don't clock watch so if you need a little longer we're happy to accomodate you. 

We start the morning with the animals housed in enclosures like the red fox, badger, wild cats, barn owl and polecat, making the most of the morning light. We then move to the lower site for the pine marten, sika deer and lynx, before moving to our daylight studio where you're able to photograph the harvest mice, water shrew, hedgehog and water vole. This means we maximise the on location natural light ending up in the daylight studio once the sun is high.

Please note that our species are subject to availability, our animals are wild animals. During summer our standard hours are 08:00 - 12:30. Earlier or later start times can be arranged by special request. We understand sweet light and are happy to start as early as you need us to. Afternoon/evening sessions are available by special request.
