Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Bell Mountain Estates, Lewistown

A wedding at Bell Mountain Estates in Lewistown starts at the water's edge. Couples hold the ceremony in the back yard beside the farm's big blue pond, and the remodeled 1800s farmhouse, the well house and a little bridge give your photographer and videographer a country setting for wedding photos and film. On a still evening the farmhouse is reflected in the water, worth a slow pan on your wedding video.

Everything can happen on the property. Your wedding ceremony is outdoors by the pond, and your wedding reception follows in the pavilion. The farmhouse sleeps 15, so the bridal party can get ready there, with getting-ready pictures in the old rooms, and you can use it for the rehearsal dinner or one last girls' night the evening before. The estate is a year-round venue, so a winter wedding is possible too.

The staff set up and take down the tables and chairs and stay on hand during the event to help where needed, which leaves you and your families free to enjoy the wedding day. Picture guests walking from the pond to the pavilion while you slip away for portraits by the water and the bridge, then joining everyone for toasts and dancing under the pavilion roof.

• Call the estate to check your date and go over packages.
• Walk from the pond to the pavilion with your photographer, and plan pictures around the light on the water.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and parking when you visit.
