Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Rustic Reflections Venue, Newville

A wedding at Rustic Reflections Venue in Newville takes place in a barn that has been rebuilt by hand, and its old timbers give your wedding photos and video an honest country character. The family took the barn down at its last home and put it back up here, along with several outbuildings, so the setting feels like a small farm. Your photographer and videographer can work around the barn and the outbuildings for portraits of the two of you and your party.

Both sides get their own room: there's a bridal suite and a grooms quarters, so both sides can get ready on site and walk out to pictures without a drive. The owners built it to host weddings and smaller parties, and they describe it as an affordable choice. The website is still under construction, so ask the owners where a wedding ceremony can be held, indoors in the barn or outside on the grounds, and what the rain plan is.

Receptions take place in the barn, and visits are by appointment. On your tour, ask about guest capacity, tables and chairs, catering and bar rules, and the end time for the evening. Bring your wedding videographer along if you can, to look at where the toasts and first dance will happen and how the light falls inside the barn late in the day. The family likes to show the space to couples in person, so plan a visit before you sign.

• Email the venue to set up a tour by appointment.
• Ask about ceremony spots, capacity and what's included.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines before your wedding day.

A little about Rustic Reflections Venue

The barn was built in the 1870s in New Kingston and moved to Shippensburg in 1946 to replace a barn lost to fire. In 2019 the family took it down and rebuilt it in Newville, first for their own daughter's wedding.
