There are some wedding venues that feel like they were created with photographers in mind—and The Vermont Swiss & Bloom Farm is absolutely one of them. Tucked into the rolling fields and quiet backroads of Northern Vermont, it’s a place where light moves slowly, views stretch in every direction, and every moment feels a little softer, a little calmer, and a little more magical.
As a Vermont wedding photographer who values honest storytelling and natural, unposed connection, Swiss & Bloom quickly became one of my favorite venues to photograph. Here’s what makes this place so special.
A Setting Made for Timeless, Natural Photos
One of the first things you notice at Vermont Swiss & Bloom Farm is the landscape—wide open meadows, distant mountain ridges, and a peaceful stillness you can feel the moment you step onto the property. Couples who choose this venue tend to love the outdoors, slow living, and genuine Vermont simplicity—and that shows up beautifully in their photos.
Golden hour hits differently here.
The sun dips behind the hills in a soft, diffused glow that wraps around couples and feels cinematic without trying. It’s the kind of light that makes you pause and really take in your wedding day.
The Farmhouse: The Perfect Getting-Ready Space (and Lodging!)
One of the biggest advantages of choosing Swiss & Bloom Farm is the on-site farmhouse—a warm, beautifully restored home that makes getting ready feel both calm and meaningful.
Why I Love the Farmhouse for Getting Ready Photos
- Natural Window Light: The farmhouse is filled with soft, directional window light—perfect for detail shots, candid moments with your wedding party, and emotional first looks with parents. No harsh overhead lights, no cluttered hotel rooms—just clean, natural spaces.
- Neutral, Timeless Interiors: The décor is simple and refined, which means your getting-ready photos look elegant instead of visually busy.
- Room to Spread Out: Multiple rooms allow the wedding party to relax without feeling cramped. This is a dream for capturing those overlapping moments happening at the same time—laughter in the kitchen, hair and makeup in the front room, final touches upstairs.
- A Peaceful, Private Start to the Day: Being on-site means there’s no rushing, no travel delays, no stress about forgetting something at the hotel. The entire morning unfolds naturally—and that calm energy shows in your photos.
Ideal Lodging for You and Your Favorite People
The farmhouse also offers overnight lodging, which is such a gift for couples and their close family or wedding party.
Some things my couples love most:
- Being able to settle in the night before
- Sharing coffee together the morning of the wedding
- Having a quiet, private place to retreat to after the celebration
- Waking up the next morning surrounded by your people and the tranquility of the farm
It creates a full wedding-weekend experience rather than just a single event—and it keeps your timeline smooth and simple.
The Barn: Rustic Charm Without Feeling Overdone
The barn at Swiss & Bloom strikes this perfect balance of cozy warmth and modern Vermont charm. It’s rustic without being dark, and elegant without feeling overly polished. For photography, that’s a dream combination.
Soft wood tones complement skin beautifully, and the tall interior makes the space feel open, airy, and inviting. Whether it’s candid moments during cocktail hour or the energy of the dance floor, the barn brings so much character to every photo.
Endless Backdrops for Portraits
Some of my favorite portrait locations at Vermont Swiss & Bloom Farm include:
- The rolling pasture overlooking the mountains
- The maple-lined path that glows at sunset
- The barn doors for simple, timeless portraits
- The open field for movement-based, relaxed couples’ photos
- The seasonal wildflower pockets for soft, romantic images
Whether you’re dreaming of playful candids or slow, intimate moments, this venue gives us an endless canvas to work with.
Space for Genuine, Unscripted Moments
What I love most about photographing weddings here isn’t just the scenery—it’s the way the property allows people to settle in and be themselves. With fewer distractions and a peaceful setting, genuine moments have space to unfold naturally.
Some of the moments that always stand out:
- Parents watching their child marry with mountains behind them
- Wedding parties laughing in the fields during portraits
- Couples sneaking away to the pasture for a quiet moment alone
- Guests gathering on the lawn, taking in the Vermont sunset
These are the memories that turn into heirlooms.
Perfect for Intimate, Heartfelt Vermont Weddings
If you’re planning a Vermont wedding that feels personal, intentional, and connected to the land, Vermont Swiss & Bloom Farm is such a beautiful choice. The venue never feels crowded or chaotic, and yet it has all the comfort, charm, and scenery couples dream of.
As a photographer, it allows me to create galleries that feel like your story—natural, joyful, full of movement, and deeply rooted in the place where you said “I do.”
