Rustic Farm Engagement Session

Style: Earthy, rustic, country charm

Key Features: Heritage barn, pond, sweeping farm landscape

Parking: Complimentary onsite parking

Photographer's Tip: Utilize the onsite guesthouse to get ready for the day. It's absolutely adorable and will save the stress of commuting from a hotel.

From a small countryside farm to a maple syrup house and, much later, to a garden market filled with pick-your-own raspberries, Brooklands Farm has a history dating back to 1875. Today, the venue hosts weddings in their beautiful barn, and from the moment you drive up the tree-lined driveway you become one with the countryside. The property boasts beautiful views overlooking a meadow, a lovely stroll along the pond to a dock overlooking the still water, and a sun-soaked field of hay that -- depending on your wedding date -- will be blowing in the breeze or in round bales ready for your portraits.
