The School House Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
The School House is a wedding venue at 5495 Locust Hill Road in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, just north of Greenville, inside a restored two-story brick schoolhouse. Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings at The School House.
A 1923 schoolhouse under timber trusses
The school was built in 1923 for kindergarten through eighth grade and closed in 1964. It was restored in 2013 and opened as a wedding venue in 2020. Upstairs, the old auditorium has white shiplap walls, exposed timber trusses, hardwood floors, mismatched wooden chairs and the original stage. Max occupancy is 300 including vendors. Dakota and Chloe got ready in the suites, married on the old stage in October, took portraits in the fields and by a vintage truck out front, and left through a tunnel of sparklers at the arched front door.
The School House team kept a full day in one building moving without a hitch.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
