Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Nemacolin, Farmington

A wedding at Nemacolin in Farmington spreads across more than 2,200 acres of the Laurel Highlands, so your wedding photos and video can move from formal ballrooms to open mountain views in the same afternoon. The Plaza Deck looks out over the Laurel Highlands and is at its best around sunset, a lovely time for portraits of the two of you. The Chateau Gardens sit beside the grand architecture of The Chateau, with marble statues and clipped topiary that give your photographer and videographer an old-world setting without leaving the resort.

There is a lot you can do here. The Panorama Pavilion is a covered outdoor space with warm wood finishes and ceiling fans, overlooking the lake and the grounds. The Bleu Room is listed for intimate events and weddings, and Reflections is an indoor and outdoor space with gallery walls showing the resort's art collection. For something different, the Woodlands Auto Toy Store, a private collection of rare and antique cars, can be set up for a cocktail hour or a small reception. Ask the events team which spaces they suggest for your wedding ceremony and which for pictures.

Your wedding reception can be as large as you like. The Marquis Ballroom is the resort's largest indoor space and can be divided into four salons, and the Grand Ballroom has high ceilings and chandeliers, good light for the first dance on film. Horizon Point, Quartz has modern styling that suits many wedding designs. The resort handles linens, tables and chairs, offers on-site flowers and audio-visual services, curated menu packages and a wedding design specialist, and it plans South Asian weddings as well as parties and brunches around your wedding day. Guests can stay on the property at its hotels.

• Send a request for proposal to start planning with the events team.
• Walk the grounds with your photographer to plan the route between spaces.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines for each space you book.
