Can I do a photo shoot on the courts?

Short answer: yes, you can — and we're all for it. A tennis court is one of the most photogenic sports backdrops there is: terracotta clay, clean lines, a green background.

How it works

A shoot is booked like a regular court rental — for an hour or more. The best time is weekday daytime hours: softer light, emptier courts, cheaper rates. In summer, there's also the outdoor court with natural light and greenery all around.

What people shoot here

  • Sports photo shoots — the "tenniscore" aesthetic is at its peak: polos, skirts, vintage rackets.
  • Love stories and family shoots — the court adds motion and a storyline instead of static poses.
  • Content for blogs and brands — an hour-long shoot covers a month's content plan.
  • Kids' albums — a young tennis player with a racket on a real court.

A couple of rules

  1. No heels — clay is soft and heels leave dents. Sneakers or plimsolls are perfect.
  2. Props are welcome: we'll provide rackets and a basket of balls on site.
  3. The shoot mustn't disturb play on neighboring courts — no drones over other people's rallies.

Commercial shoots

A big crew, lighting rigs, video production — that works too: write to us in advance, we'll arrange a time when the hall is free and discuss the terms.

Booking a court for a shoot works like any regular booking — all the options here.
