Why I Love Photographing Here
1. Scenic Ceremony Spaces
Ceremonies often take place on the lush lawn overlooking the lake. The reflections on the water and the surrounding trees make every angle magical.
If it rains: Your ceremony could take place in the beautiful Stables, the Cedar Pavillion or the ballroom if the rain just won’t stop.
2. Gorgeous Getting-Ready Suites
Bear Brook Valley offers spacious bridal and groom suites filled with natural light — perfect for capturing those intimate pre-ceremony moments without harsh shadows.
3. Endless Portrait Locations
From the lakeside dock to hidden wooded paths, this venue has countless photo spots that look incredible in any season. The twinkle lights along the bridge create a romantic nighttime setting for end-of-the-evening portraits.
4. A Reception Space with Style
The barn-inspired reception hall blends rustic wood accents with modern touches like crystal chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows. The open floor plan and warm lighting are a dream for capturing your first dance and candid moments.
