Is an engagement shoot considered commercial photography?

FH and I would like to have our engagement shoot at Wave Hill (where he proposed) and the website says photography is permitted for private use, but commercial photography requires special permit and fees.

Before I speak to our photographer, does anyone know if e-photos are considered commercial photography?

No, no, no... commercial would be using the photos or videos for business purposes which I'm assuming you won't be doing lol Double check anyways but I'm fairly sure of this.

Re: Is an engagement shoot considered commercial photography?

thanks, i figured it probably wouldn't qualify as commercial photography since it's for our own personal use. I'll definitely call the place and also speak to our photographer just to be on the safe side.
