This nearly 100 acre farm is filled with a variety of gorgeous settings for your day. The bridal suite in the iconic barn is the perfect place for Brides to enjoy a few mimosa's while priming with her closest friends. Meanwhile, Grooms and their guys will feel right at home in the Lodge. 

With several unique ceremony locations, you're sure to find one perfectly tailored for your day. Say I do beneath the trees along the stream, on the landing at the pond, or near the twinkling lights at the cozy Bear Venue.

As you walk the grounds, you’ll capture photos that will grace your home for decades to come. You’ll dance the night away inside the barn lit with twinkly lights and elegant chandeliers. Your guests will feel right at home with how you so beautifully decorated the inside and thought of every last detail.

As you drive back down the lane, leaving the Barn as Husband and Wife, you’ll look over at your handsome husband and thank God you’re married to such an amazing man. And you’ll always remember how beautiful your day truly was.


It's the day of your wedding and sunlight is streaming through the trees near the stream bordered by the stone path while the breeze blows gently in the fields beyond....

A FEW OF OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SHOOTING WEDDINGS AT Bear Ridge Destination

faq

YES!!! 100%!!! Bear Ridge has incredible spaces for getting ready for both the bride + bridesmaids as well as the groom + groomsmen.

Lighting (which will vary greatly based on the time of year), will play a critical role. Generally somewhere around 3pm is a great rough estimate. Based off of your specific needs/desires, I am more than happy to help my brides layout their timeline. 

Lighting and weather will greatly affect where family portraits are taken. In good weather, a nice shaded spot is ideal. Typically there are some perfectly shaded areas right around the barn. 

Lighting (which will vary greatly based on the time of year), will play a critical role as that typically sets the ceremony time. Most weddings begin their reception somewhere around 5pm-6pm. Based off of your specific needs/desires, I am more than happy to help my brides layout their timeline. 

Yes! Sparkler exits are allowed here! Lining the exit from the venue or on the concrete near the hanging lights would both be perfect spots!

Bride and Groom portraits are some of THE MOST IMPORTANT photographic parts of your day. These are the photos that will adorn your walls for years to come! You should prioritize this time. I would recommend at least 20 minutes but 40 minutes would be phenomenal especially if you also have a videographer.
