Reserve a Photography Session
Thank you for your interest in reserving a Photography Session with Mission San Juan Capistrano. If you have not booked a photo shoot with us before, please complete this online form to request a reservation.
Please note that reservations are required at least one week in advance. However, due to limited photo shoots allowed per hour, we highly recommend booking more than one week out. Reservations requested with less than one weeks notice will be subject to a $75 late booking surcharge.
Reservations can be made every day of the week between 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (last time slot is 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.) This means you may reserve a session even on the days Mission San Juan Capistrano is closed to the public (currently Monday, except for major holidays).
Please be aware that submission of this form does not guaranty a hold for the specified date and time. Once your request is submitted, a staff member from the Bookings Department will follow up with you within 2 working days to confirm availability and/or provide an alternate date choice for your photo shoot. Once we have confirmed that we have a copy of the photographer’s insurance on file, we will then follow up with an invoice to complete your reservation with full payment.
