Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Stroudsmoor, Stroudsburg

A wedding at The Stroudsmoor in Stroudsburg means choosing a setting first, because the estate covers about 200 acres on top of a private mountain and has several separate wedding venues, each with its own ceremony site and reception hall, and wedding photos look different at every one. For your photographer and videographer that means gazebos, stone, woods and long ridge views, all within one property.

Terraview has a stone-castle feel, with 16-foot windows framing the Pocono views and 22-foot ceilings, and it holds up to 350 guests; the Conservatory and lounge give guests somewhere to gather before the wedding ceremony. Ridgecrest's Crestview Chapel is a wrought iron gazebo at the edge of the ridge, looking over the Cherry Valley Wildlife Sanctuary toward the Delaware Water Gap, with an open-air pavilion for a covered ceremony or cocktail hour. At Woodsgate, a cobblestone path leads through oak and maple trees to a fieldstone and cedar gazebo near a waterfall, which makes a lovely processional for your wedding video. Lawnhaven's Evergreen Garden has a stone gazebo, fire columns and a tiered water feature on one of two grand lawns.

Each wedding reception has its own feel. Ridgecrest has a 40-foot stone bar and two stone fireplaces. The Woodsgate reception is in a converted barn, with cocktails downstairs and dinner and dancing upstairs under grapevines and lights, big windows looking into the woods. Lawnhaven's hall has glass walls, a 16-foot wood ceiling and a stone fireplace. Packages are all-inclusive, the estate has rooms, a salon and a pool, and couples often stay the whole weekend and get ready on site.

• Tour more than one venue; each wedding day here looks quite different.
• Walk your ceremony site with your photographer at the time of day you'll get married.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and the covered backup for each site.

A little about The Stroudsmoor

Many people in the Poconos still know the property as the Stroudsmoor Country Inn. It is now part of Wedgewood Weddings, and it holds a wedding expo and tasting twice a year.
