Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Hocking Hills Wedding Chapel, Sugar Grove

A wedding at the Hocking Hills Wedding Chapel is made for a small guest list and a lot of woods. The log chapel sits among wooded hills at Valley View Cabins in Sugar Grove, alongside a covered log gazebo and an outdoor stone fireplace with a pergola. For wedding photos and video, those three spots give your photographer and videographer warm timber, stone and trees, and in winter the scene can turn to snow and twinkling lights.

You can choose where to hold your wedding ceremony: under the pergola by the stone fireplace, which can even be lit, or in the log gazebo, which is also the rain plan. In the winter months the log chapel itself can host the ceremony. The chapel is open year-round and offers both ceremony-only packages and packages with a reception, which is held in the chapel, while the gazebo works for a cocktail hour or dancing under cover.

Packages here are made for elopements and intimate weddings, from just the two of you up to about 50 guests, and every package comes with a coordinator for your wedding day and exclusive use of the property. The venue can help with flowers and photography. Guests can stay in the 13 log cabins nearby, which range from two to six bedrooms, with hot tubs and fire pits, and some packages include a honeymoon cabin for the two of you. Alcohol is bought through Valley View Hills Winery next door, which makes a toast by the fire easy. For your videographer, a lit fireplace and a covered gazebo make cozy settings for vows and the first dance.

• Send a request through the website and ask which package fits your guest count.
• Visit at the time of day your ceremony will start to see the light at the fireplace and gazebo.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines, especially if you're bringing your own photographer.
