Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Fagel Farms, Mill Run

Wedding photos at Fagel Farms in Mill Run take in rolling hills in every direction. This family-owned farm in the Laurel Highlands of Fayette County, less than five miles from Fallingwater and about an hour and a half south of Pittsburgh, spreads across 125 acres of open fields and forest with a creek running through. For your photographer and videographer that means hilltop and valley views, fields of corn or hay, gardens and wooded walkways, all without leaving the property.

You can hold the whole wedding day here. Get ready in the grand farmhouse, which has three bedrooms with three and a half bathrooms, plus floor-to-ceiling windows, so even the getting-ready pictures have the hills behind them. Pick a spot on the grounds for your wedding ceremony, gather for cocktail hour outdoors, then move to your chosen reception site. Afterward, the farmhouse can serve as your own honeymoon suite. An outdoor ceremony on open land can be breezy, so talk with your videographer about microphones for your vows.

Fagel Farms books one event per weekend. The weekend package gives you two days on the grounds, room for a rehearsal dinner, overnight space in the Guest House for up to eight guests, parking for up to 100 cars, an outdoor fire pit for s'mores, and use of the property for engagement portraits by appointment. Tents and tables are rented separately, and the farm works with preferred caterers, so your wedding reception can look the way you want, including lighting and a dance floor chosen for the first dance. A shorter ceremony-only rental includes time for pictures on the grounds. The grounds hold up to 250 guests.

• Fagel Farms is a private residence; visits are by appointment only.
• Walk the fields and paths with your photographer at the hour your ceremony will start.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and tent placement when you visit.

A little about Fagel Farms

When the family bought the land in 1992, it had no running water, no electricity, no driveway and no house. Their own children got married here first, followed by family friends, and the farm then opened to other couples.
