Why I love working at Walnut Hill
From a Photographer’s Perspective
What I love about Walnut Hill Farm is the way the venue encourages connection. During cocktail hour, couples often wander the lawn, mingling with their guests against a backdrop of mountains and big skies. One of my favorite shots was when everyone gathered around the couple on the lawn and turned toward the barn for a joyful, colorful group photo.
A quick pro tip for photographers: bring extra lighting for the reception. The huge glass doors let in gorgeous light during the day, but once the sun dips, there can be tricky dark spots in the barn..
