Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Barn at Fallingwater, Mill Run

A wedding at The Barn at Fallingwater happens in the woods of Bear Run Nature Reserve in Mill Run, Fayette County, minutes from Fallingwater and Ohiopyle State Park. The timber-frame barn, the flagstone courtyard and the wooded hills around them give your wedding photos a quiet, natural setting, and couples can bring their photographer to Fallingwater itself for a private couple's photo session by arrangement. A videographer has plenty to work with between the barn and the forest.

Everything can happen on site. The Courtyard, a flagstone patio with a wisteria-covered trellis off the Fireplace Room, is the spot for an intimate wedding ceremony or an outdoor cocktail hour. An amphitheatre sits just uphill from the barn along a woodland trail. The historic Farmhouse is set aside for getting ready on your wedding day, with air conditioning, a full kitchen, two bathrooms and room for family and friends.

Your wedding reception can fill the Threshing Room, a seasonal space of about 3,200 square feet with timber framing and barn board walls, where large sliding barn doors open to the outdoors and allow added tent space. The Fireplace Room, once the dairy's milking parlor, has a large stone fireplace, built-in audiovisual and a partition wall. A staircase connects both rooms to the lobby. The built-in audio in the Fireplace Room is a help for toasts on video.

• Send an inquiry early, since the barn is a popular Laurel Highlands venue.
• Ask about arranging a couple's photo session at Fallingwater with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines for the barn, the reserve and Fallingwater.

A little about The Barn at Fallingwater

The barn and farmhouse were part of a dairy farm, and the farmhouse was built in 1870 and later bought by the family who owned Fallingwater. Today the barn is run by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, which also cares for Fallingwater.
