Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Horizon View Farms, Rockwood

A wedding at Horizon View Farms in Rockwood starts with the view the farm is named for. This 465-acre family farm in the Laurel Highlands spreads over rolling hills and woods, with horses on the property and wide looks across the Somerset countryside, the kind of open setting where a photographer and videographer can take you out for wedding photos far from any parking lot. The family describes it as a rustic event facility and lists a wedding celebration among the gatherings it hosts.

The farm also runs a bed and breakfast, which can make your wedding day easier. The Full Farmhouse Experience gives your group the whole house, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms sleeping ten, a comfortable base for getting ready with your wedding party. Outside there's a covered patio on the second floor, a covered ground-level patio, a fire pit and more than 400 acres of land and trails. The farm has not yet published details of its ceremony and reception spaces, so ask where your wedding ceremony and wedding reception would take place, how many guests they hold, and what happens if it rains.

Practical details on the farm's site are brief: plenty of parking, Wi-Fi, and a commissary kitchen along with the farmhouse kitchen. Ask about catering and bar options, and whether your wedding videographer will need power or a quiet spot for the vows outdoors. Bookings are made by phone or email.

• Call or email to ask about wedding packages and dates.
• Visit with your photographer to choose spots on the hills and trails.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines, and which parts of the farm you may use.
