The Loveless Cafe Media Policy
We are honored that you want to capture a bit of the magic here at the Loveless Cafe. Whether you’re a traditional media outlet, podcast host, reporter, content creator, influencer, or anything in between, we’d love to have you! To keep things running smoothly for all of our guests, we kindly ask that all media inquiries are submitted through our Media Request Form at least 48 hours before the desired filming date. All requests must be approved before filming can take place. Learn more about our media policies below, submit your request today, and someone from our team will be in touch!
Commercial Photography & Videography
This policy applies to any photography, videography, audio recording, or filming activities on the Loveless Cafe’s property, or featuring any of the Loveless Cafe’s personnel or property, for commercial, promotional, or professional purposes. Any and all such activities will be referred to in this policy as “commercial filming.”
The Loveless Cafe considers the following opportunities as commercial filming: photography, videography, or recordings for news media, national or local publications, advertisements, podcasts, music videos, photoshoots for products or musical artists, documentaries, TV productions, YouTube videos, etc. In specific cases, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media photography and videography can fall under commercial filming. Please refer to the “Non-Traditional Media Policy” below for more information on social media-based content.
All commercial filming must be scheduled in advance and approved in writing by the Loveless Cafe’s Executive Director, Merrell Peck. Unapproved commercial filming, as well as walk-in, same-day, or impromptu commercial filming, is strictly prohibited.
The Loveless Cafe may, in its sole discretion, deny any request for approval of commercial filming.
Approved commercial filming must be conducted in accordance with any additional guidance or instructions provided by the Loveless Cafe. All crews or persons engaged in commercial filming must be accompanied by a representative of the Loveless Cafe while on property to ensure our guests’ experience and safety protocols remain a priority.
No individual’s identity or likeness may be captured in connection with commercial filming without such individual’s expressly written consent and a copy of such consent delivered to the Loveless Cafe.
All commercial filming activities, and uses of audio and visual content produced from such activities, are strictly limited to the specific scope of approval granted by the Loveless Cafe.
No ownership of the Loveless Cafe’s intellectual property is transferred in connection with commercial filming and all goodwill derived from the use of such intellectual property will inure to the sole benefit of the Loveless Cafe.
The Loveless Cafe may revoke its approval of commercial filming at any time.
Non-Traditional Media Policy
This policy applies to non-traditional media, such as content creators and influencers, bloggers, vloggers, livestreamers, etc. on Loveless Cafe’s property.
We welcome and appreciate the interest from all content creators and digital storytellers who wish to share their experience at the Loveless Cafe. If you are visiting as a content creator and plan to capture content using only a handheld phone, with no additional equipment, a media request form is not required.
To ensure the comfort and privacy of all of our guests, content creators visiting with a handheld phone without submitting a Media Request Form will be treated as standard customers of the Loveless Cafe. This means that staff will be unable to accommodate special requests related to filming or content, including providing complimentary items such as food or products. Content creators without prior approval will also need to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Content creation must be limited to publicly accessible areas only
- Content creation should not disrupt service or interfere with other guests’ experience
- Filming of other guests or employees is strictly prohibited without their express consent
The Loveless Cafe reserves the right to request the removal of any content published without appropriate permissions or that violates these guidelines.
If you are an influencer or content creator looking to work with and/or partner with the Loveless Cafe, please email isabella@lovelesscafe.com.
If your content will be monetized and if the creation of it involves any supplemental equipment, including but not limited to: tripods, microphones, audio equipment, ring lights or external lighting, camera rigs, phone stabilizers or gimbals, DSLR cameras, etc., you will be required to submit a media request form 48 hours in advance of your visit per our policy. The Loveless Cafe may, in its sole discretion, deny any request for approval of content creation.
