To make a reservation, you can contact us or submit a reservation request online so that we can fix an appointment together. During that appointment, you will need to bring 2 pieces of photo ID in order to sign the rental agreement. You will also need to bring the full rental amount which will be used as the deposit. An alarm code and a door code will be given to you so that you will have direct access to the studio on your rental day(s).
If you need to cancel
You have up to 48 hours before your rental period to cancel or make changes to your reservation, which will incur a 25% penalty. There will not be any reimbursement if you cancel or make changes less than 48 hours before the beginning of your rental period.
Filming video
The studio was conceived with photography in mind. That being said, it is possible to rent the studio for filming, however the lighting provided is for photography and the acoustics are not optimized.
