Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Trout Lake Weddings & Events, Stroudsburg

A wedding at Trout Lake in Stroudsburg takes place on a private, 500-acre property along a 100-acre lake, and only one wedding is held each day. The pines, the water and the old stone foundations around the grounds give your photographer and videographer a lot to work with, and you won't share any of it with another party.

There are several places for your wedding ceremony, each with its own mood: a lakeside site with open water behind you, a quiet woodland setting under the trees and a rustic pavilion. Pick the lakeside one for a long processional on your wedding video, and keep the pavilion in mind if the forecast looks uncertain. The property includes a complimentary rehearsal walk-through, which helps the wedding party learn the route.

Cocktail hour is in the Mountain View Room, with lake views and an attached deck with patio heaters, so guests can stay outside on a cool evening while you take wedding photos by the water. Your wedding reception follows in the Lake View Center, which seats up to 250 guests and has a full bar and a dedicated space for the DJ and dance floor, handy for filming the first dance and toasts. Menus are plated or buffet. You can also host a rehearsal dinner or next-day brunch in the lakeside boathouse or the covered woodland pavilion.

• Weddings are held September through May, with seasonal discounts on some dates.
• Tour the ceremony sites with your photographer before you pick one for your wedding day.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and the covered backup for an outdoor ceremony.

A little about Trout Lake

Trout Lake was created in the early 1900s for the ice harvesting trade, before home refrigeration. You can still see the stone foundations that once held five-story wooden ice houses.
