Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Battlefield Bed & Breakfast, Gettysburg

A wedding at Battlefield Bed and Breakfast in Gettysburg gives your photographer and videographer 30 acres to explore: flowerbeds that bloom from April to November, a pond behind a stone wall, a gravel lane and a wooded path. The Wildflower Path is a favorite for wedding photos and first looks, the tall grass in the meadow turns gold in autumn, and the Sunset Gazebo sits in the cutting garden so the sun sets behind you while the barn turns to a silhouette.

Your wedding ceremony can happen in several places. Come down the deck stairs to the pergola in the Wedding Garden, gather in the Oak Grove, a forest clearing with a wooden platform under old witness trees, or stand at the arbor on the Great Lawn. The Solarium, with a cathedral ceiling and walls of windows, is a climate-controlled choice for ceremonies and smaller receptions of up to 79 guests. Guest rooms in the farmhouse serve as getting-ready space on your wedding day, and the Tack Room dressing room has a hidden passage into the barn.

Most couples hold the wedding reception in the Historic Barn, which seats up to 140 under chandeliers and string lights, with sun slipping through the slatted walls. A DJ loft wired straight to the dance floor keeps the music and toasts clear for your wedding video, and the gravel ramp up the barn bank glows for sparkler send-offs. Cocktail hour usually happens in the Patio Garden, where the carriage is a popular photo spot, and four gas fire pits by the barn keep guests outside late. The inn has an open vendor policy and plenty of parking.

• Email the event team with your date and guest count to start.
• Walk the grounds at your ceremony hour with your photographer, from the garden to the gazebo to the barn.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and which areas are yours on the day.
