Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Creekside Resort & Ranch, Clearville

A wedding at Creekside Resort & Ranch in Clearville takes place at a cabin resort in the Bedford County countryside that was built with outdoor weddings in mind. The views and landscape make for good wedding photos, and there's a gazebo, a wooden arbor and a wooden arch for your ceremony, so your photographer and videographer have several settings to work with.

Your wedding ceremony can be at the gazebo or any other spot on the grounds that fits your seating. The Cinderella package adds a carriage ride pulled by the resort's horses, a lovely moment for photos and video. With the Full Resort package you have the whole property, including all five cabins and the House, with lodging for about 40 guests, so the wedding party can get ready and stay on site. The pool is closed during the ceremony.

The reception is in the pavilion, which has electricity plus heat and air conditioning, and holds 200 guests. Packages include chairs and tables, a food prep kitchen with a commercial-size refrigerator, and a fire ring for later in the evening. The resort doesn't cater, but it shares a list of recommended local vendors. You may serve alcohol with a one-day event insurance policy. With the Full Resort package there's no quiet time; with the smaller options, the reception ends at 9 p.m., so plan your wedding video's toasts and first dance with that in mind.

• Book early: full payment is due six months before your wedding day.
• Walk the gazebo and the pavilion with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and the rain plan.
