Special Note:
** Choosing NOT to see each other prior to the wedding has a dramatic impact on your timeline, and honestly the number of photos you have time to take or the amount of time your guests are waiting while you take photos. We completely support your decision, but if you are getting married October - March, PLEASE make sure you take sunset into account prior to setting your timeline. Also, remember you need AT LEAST 3 hours from the time the gates unlock to the start of your ceremony unless you have special approval in writing from Seven Paths Manor. Please reach out to discuss if you have questions or concerns.**
