Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Grayson House, Uniontown

Wedding photos at The Grayson House come with a long view. The big white barn sits on a hilltop in the countryside outside Uniontown, Fayette County, and from the covered cocktail porch you look out over rolling farmland, ponds and the Laurel Mountains. That open horizon gives your photographer and videographer room to work, from wide pictures of the two of you against the hills to candid moments on the lawn while guests unwind.

You can hold the whole wedding day here. The venue offers three outdoor ceremony locations to choose from, with an indoor backup if the weather turns, plus a rustic arch or a cross for the front of your aisle. Afterward, the porch, the lawn and the game yard are easy places for portraits and wedding party pictures before your entrance.

Your wedding reception takes place inside the gable barn, with Parisian chandeliers, white shiplap from floor to ceiling, wooden farmhouse tables and cross-back chairs. It is fully climate controlled and holds up to 250 guests. Couples also have access to the venue's prop and decor collection, and the staff handles set up and clean up. The chandeliers and white walls make a bright, even setting for the first dance and the toasts on video. Catering comes from the venue's required caterer list, and the patio, with cocktail tables, bistro lights and lawn games, keeps guests outside well into the evening.

• Check dates early, since September and October are the busiest months.
• Walk the three ceremony spots with your photographer and decide on a backup plan.
• Ask the venue coordinator about photo and video guidelines and the caterer list.

A little about The Grayson House

The Grayson House sits at Mt. Hope, in the rural countryside outside Uniontown, about an hour south of Pittsburgh. Its owners built it as a barn venue, and couples come for the secluded hilltop setting and the views of the Laurel Mountains.
