Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Shepard Place, Casstown

Eleven acres of family farmland surround a wedding at The Shepard Place in Casstown, along with a 1920s homestead and a renovated barn from the early 1900s. The level grounds hold several spots for wedding photos, and the barn's interior, lit by a 5-foot centerpiece chandelier, gives your photographer and videographer warm light once evening comes.

You can get married outside in a garden ceremony or a lawn ceremony with the homestead behind you, or inside the barn, which hosts both wedding ceremonies and receptions. The three-bedroom homestead works as your wedding-prep headquarters, with separate dressing rooms for the bride and the groom, so getting-ready pictures, the first look and the walk out to the ceremony all happen close together on your wedding day.

Your wedding reception is in the 3,500-square-foot barn, renovated to keep its original character, with flexible seating and decor choices. Guest parking is on site and the ground is level with easy access. The venue doesn't advertise in-house catering or bar service, and couples say the staff help them find outside vendors for food, makeup and entertainment. For your wedding videographer, the barn's chandelier makes a natural center for the first dance, and the venue has even had an aerial video of the property made.

• The season runs from late April to early November, and new bookings are added weekly, so call about your date.
• Walk the lawn and garden with your photographer to choose your ceremony spot.
• Ask about catering, bar and photo and video guidelines.
