Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Gillbrook Farms, Warriors Mark

A wedding at Gillbrook Farms in Warriors Mark gives your photographer and videographer a whole farm to work with. The property covers more than 150 acres, with a wide pond, a brook running through the grounds, horse pastures and old willow, oak and spruce trees. Corn cribs and other outbuildings add a rustic edge to your wedding photos, and the open fields leave plenty of sky behind the two of you.

You can hold the wedding ceremony and the reception in the historic Pennsylvania bank barn or out on the lawn. Underneath the barn there's a ceremony space with original wood beams and pews, a good choice if the weather turns. The Guest House, built from reclaimed timber with salvaged stained glass windows, is used for day-of preparations, so your getting-ready photos and film can start on the property.

Upstairs, the barn is 5,500 square feet with large original beams, a reconditioned wood floor and high ceilings, and it holds up to 350 guests. It has a catering space, a bar and indoor bathrooms, and the open floor can be divided and dressed to suit your plans. Rental covers a four-day weekend: setup on Thursday, an optional rehearsal dinner Friday, your wedding day on Saturday and pickup Sunday. Tables, chairs and linens are included, and the team helps with decorating and cleanup. For your wedding video, ask where the band or DJ will sit so the toasts come through clearly.

• Check open dates on the farm's availability page, then call to book a tour.
• Walk the pond and the pastures with your photographer before the day.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and your rain plan.
