Photography & Videography
Historic Rock Castle Grounds Rental
Historic Rock Castle is a perfect setting for capturing lasting memories through Photography or as the backdrop for your Music Video! The 1784 Tennessee limestone mansion is an exquisite backdrop for any photo or video style, and every angle offers a unique vignette. If you want something a little more rustic, the rusted tin roof and aged limestone of the Smoke House add perfect charm to any photo or video. The masterfully designed Gardens provide a stunning backdrop, and our Woodland area offers serene natural settings for a touch of whimsy during the day or a magical backdrop for a more sophisticated, suspenseful look. And all of this sits on 18 picturesque acres on Old Hickory Lake. Whether you are doing family photos, senior portraits, an Engagement or Bridal shoot, a Music Video, or anything in between, Historic Rock Castle offers a beautiful and unique setting for every occasion!
