Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Rising Sons Farm & Event Center, Lancaster

Out in the rolling countryside around Lancaster, a wedding at Rising Sons Farm & Event Center brings guests to a working family farm, with Highland cows, donkeys, ponies and goats close by. For your photographer and videographer, the farm animals and the hills make wedding photos that feel like the country, and the event space itself has plenty of natural light.

Inside, the bright, neutral event space measures 30 by 40 feet, holds roughly 75 to 100 people, and is heated and cooled for every season, with full restrooms and ample parking. You're free to decorate to your theme. A covered porch lets guests sit outside and take in the countryside, and the farm offers time with the animals, which can be a sweet stop for pictures of the two of you or your wedding party. Ask the farm about holding your wedding ceremony on site, indoors or out.

Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners are what the farm books, and you can bring in the caterer of your choice. The all-day package includes setup the evening before and teardown the morning after, so the day itself can be about you and your guests. A room this size keeps the dance floor close to everyone, which helps your videographer catch the toasts and reactions in one frame.

• Book a wedding or rehearsal dinner through the farm's website.
• Confirm your guest count with the farm, since its pages give slightly different limits.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and visiting the animals for pictures on your wedding day.

A little about Rising Sons Farm & Event Center

The farm's roots go back about 80 years, to a grandfather who bought nearly 1,000 acres and a herd of cattle. His granddaughter, a fourth-generation farmer, planned the event center with him, and her father helped build it.
