Discover the Heritage Santa Experience
Professional Christmas Photography in Waterdown
For the first time in its century-long history, Drummond Manor opens its doors for Heritage Santa Sessions. The same orchards famous for exceptional apples now host something equally rare: professional Christmas photography in an authentic heritage setting. Be among the first families to create heirloom portraits in this stunning historic manor—images you’ll treasure as much as the Drummonds treasure their five-generation farming legacy. This is Year One. Be part of the story from the beginning. Capture the Unforgettable this Holiday Season.
Located just 13 KMs from Downtown Hamilton, the short drive through Waterdown’s countryside is part of the experience—arriving at Drummond Manor feels like stepping into another era.
