The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station sits on a hill above the Connecticut River in Haddam, with views across the water to the Goodspeed Opera House and the swing bridge. Move Mountains Co. photographed Sam + Katherine's wedding here: a ceremony at Saint Bridget of Sweden Parish, then portraits on the lawn and deck above the river and a reception that danced all night.
A hilltop view over the river
The Riverhouse is at 55 Bridge Road in Haddam. The ballroom has chandeliers, wood floors and a wall of arched windows, and it opens to a terrace and a deck that looks straight down the river valley. Outside, a sloping lawn and green hills make every portrait feel like Connecticut River country.
The Riverhouse team made the whole day feel easy, and we'd love to photograph many more weddings here.
