THE BRIDAL SUITE
This is the perfect location to get into your wedding dress and do some final hair and makeup touches. There are two getting ready rooms upstairs. The biggest tip is to keep this area clean and clutter free. It is air conditioned as well, so no need to worry for those of you getting married in the summer.
PORTRAIT LOCATIONS
It's time for your first look, portraits and bridal party photos. We'll most likely head down to the front patio for your first look. We will then walk around the grounds and find the perfect locations for your portraits. The pond is the perfect backdrop for your ceremony and portraits.
THE CEREMONY
The pond is usually the backdrop for your ceremony and it is just perfect. The sun shines through the trees and your guests watch in the shade as you say I do. The tree cover is perfect for those sunny and warm days!
THE BARN
This barn has so much character on the inside. The wooden beams and twinkly lights make this barn feel so warm and cozy. The huge dance floor is perfect for all your guests to get out and dance the night away.

A FEW OF OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SHOOTING WEDDINGS AT The FARM AT EAGLES RIDGE
Where do you recommend taking our family portraits?
Family photos most often happen right at the ceremony space. We may do it under the arbor if the lighting is nice or we may shift you into to under a tree if the lighting is better there. If we're experiencing some rain, we may take photos under the over hang on The Barn's patio. Either way, we'll put you in the very best spot for lighting.
What time should we schedule our ceremony to begin?
This is going to depend on the time of year that you're getting married. If you're sharing in a first look, the best time to have your ceremony end is 1 hour prior to sunset. If you're not sharing in a first look then we would suggest your ceremony ending 2 hours prior to sunset. Most ceremonies at The Farm at Eagles Ridge last approximately 30 minutes.
Do they allow for sparkler exits? Should we do one?
The Farm at Eagles Ridge does allow for sparkler exits! We've photographed some great exits using bubbles, glow-sticks, and American flags. Get creative with your exit and think outside the box. Who knows? You might start a new trend.
How long should we plan to take bride & groom portraits?
We typically schedule 45 minutes for bride + groom portraits if you're sharing in a first look. If you're not sharing in a first look, you can expect to have approximately 10 minutes for bride and groom photos. For this reason, we highly encourage a first look because your photos are the first things to get cut short if something runs behind.
Should we have our ceremony indoors or outdoors?
Our preference is to always have your ceremony outside, unless it's pouring rain. If you know it's going to be cold and don't want to keep your guests outside for to terribly long, we'd suggest sharing more personal vows to one another in private, maybe during your first look, and then having a shortened 10 minute ceremony outdoors. We promise, it'll be worth it and you'll warm back up in minutes once you're inside again.
