Timeless, connection-focused wedding photography at one of virginia’s most iconic venues
Great Marsh Estate
Wedding Photographer
There’s something truly special about weddings at Great Marsh Estate. Tucked into the countryside of Bealeton, Virginia, it offers a setting that feels both timeless and deeply personal — where wide open landscapes, historic charm, and meaningful moments come together effortlessly.
The estate has a quiet elegance to it. From the moment you arrive, everything feels intentional — giving couples the space to slow down, be present, and fully experience their wedding day alongside the people they love most.
Great Marsh Estate holds a deeply personal place in my life. My great uncle built and lived in the manor house for most of my childhood, and I spent many years attending family gatherings there, running through the same fields and spaces that now hold so many wedding celebrations. What was once part of my own family story has now become the beginning of so many others.

Why Couples Love Getting Married at Great Marsh Estate
One of the things that makes Great Marsh Estate so beautiful for wedding photography is the variety of portrait locations available throughout the property.
The open fields create stunning opportunities for portraits in soft, natural light, especially as the sun begins to set. The historic manor offers classic architectural elements that add depth and character, while the surrounding landscape provides quiet, intimate spaces for couples to step away and simply be together.
Some of the most meaningful images often happen in the in-between moments — walking together through the fields, sharing a quiet moment before the reception, or stepping outside as the day begins to slow.
