Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Rivercrest Farm, Dover

A wedding at Rivercrest Farm near Dover gives your photographer and videographer rolling hills, woodland and a working farm along the Tuscarawas River. The property covers about 120 acres, and its ceremony site on a hilltop looks out over the hills and valley. Highland cattle and horses graze nearby, and couples and guests often mention the farm animals as part of the fun of the day.

You can get married on the hilltop, on the lawn beside the barn, or inside the barn itself if you'd rather not depend on the weather. Two get-ready rooms let the couple and the wedding party prepare on site, so your morning photos happen in the same place as the rest of your wedding day. Around the grounds there's a boxwood topiary garden, outdoor games and an outdoor fireplace, all good places for relaxed wedding pictures with your guests and a few candid moments for the wedding video.

Your wedding reception is in a white-washed barn with Amish timber framing, chandeliers, twinkle lights and large sliding windows that open to the hills. It seats about 200 for dinner and is heated for fall and winter. Catering and alcohol are bring-your-own, and alcohol must be served by licensed bartenders. The season runs from mid-March through December.

• Contact the farm through its social pages or wedding listings to tour and check dates.
• Plan your hilltop ceremony time around the light, and walk it with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and where guests can visit the animals.
