Photography Policy
Help us protect this fragile and valuable historic resource by respectfully honoring our photography policies.

Commercial Photography and Filming
Depending on staff availability and our programming calendar, we offer portions of the site for commercial photography and film projects. Insurance is required and fees are set based on the complexity of your shoot. Please contact Kristen Cecil at [email protected] or 562-431-3541 x113 for more information and available dates.

Photography for Personal Use
Rancho Los Alamitos is a beautiful and rare open space in Long Beach, making it a popular place for taking photos. To maximize guest experience, uphold our values as a historical site, and prioritize safety, we kindly ask that personal photography be limited to personal cameras (no tripods). Photography for weddings, special occasions, birthdays, and other unique events require an advance reservation.

Check-in with our front desk volunteers upon arrival to improve your Rancho experience. Please contact Kristen Cecil at [email protected] or 562-431-3541 x113 to reserve photography or events at the Rancho.
