Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Barn at Ike’s Place, Amity

A wedding at The Barn at Ike's Place in Amity sits on top of a ridge in Washington County, with miles of rolling hills and fields around it, dotted with old oaks, ponds and streams. For your photographer and videographer, that country view is the draw, and the property has an open courtyard, a fire pit and several outdoor sites to use for wedding photos.

Weddings and receptions happen here from May through October, and it has been completely renovated with old-world charm. Inside, the barn and its addition give you room to seat up to 300 guests, with a dance floor, and a 900-square-foot deck gives guests a place to step outside. The venue mentions multiple outdoor sites for your day, so ask which one works for a wedding ceremony and what the rain plan would be. Up to 12 cars can use VIP parking for the bridal party, and there's plenty of parking for everyone else.

Thanks to an open-door policy, you bring your own caterer and vendors, though the family can recommend caterers and photographers, along with florists, bakers and DJs. Alcohol can be served with a liquor liability policy and a certified bartender, and security is included. On-site attendants help with last-minute issues and parking on your wedding day, and the barn is handicap accessible from both entrances. Picture your wedding reception drifting from the dance floor out to the courtyard fire pit as the sun goes down, a warm moment for your wedding video.

• Call or email to check your date in the May to October season and set up a tour.
• Ask which outdoor site suits your ceremony, and walk it with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and which parts of the farm you can use for pictures.
