Wadsworth Mansion Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill Estate is a Gilded Age country estate in Middletown, Connecticut, with a white columned facade, Beaux Arts ballrooms and 103 acres of lawns and wooded parkland. Move Mountains Co. photographed and filmed Christopher + Nicole's wedding here: a ceremony on the lawn, portraits in front of the columns, and a reception under the tent that ran late into the night.
A Gilded Age estate on 103 acres
The Mansion is at 421 Wadsworth Street in Middletown and has hosted weddings since 2000, one wedding a day, so couples have the Mansion and grounds to themselves. Two ballrooms seat up to 100 guests each, with the Loggia between them and a terrace looking out over the lawn, for up to 200 guests at a seated dinner.
The Wadsworth team runs a calm, gracious day, and we've loved coming back to photograph more weddings here.
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.
