I have photographed multiple weddings at Bellevue Hall, and it is by far one of my favorite venues to work at! The property is gorgeous, the mansion makes such a stunning backdrop for getting-ready portraits and cocktail hour, and even the outdoor reception tent is beautiful! I love watching the horses frolic while the most stunning sunsets fall behind the reception tent. The venue and catering staff are the best in the industry and treat all couples, guests, and vendors like royalty. And the food is absolutely delicious! If you want to have a seamless wedding day where you are able to fully focus on celebrating with your loved ones, look no further!
