Grange Valley Lakeside Inn & Winery Wedding Photos | Mt. Pocono, PA (2026)

Formerly known as Memorytown, the newly rebranded Grange Valley Lakeside Inn and Winery remains one of the most soulful wedding destinations in the Poconos. It’s not just a wedding venue; it’s a massive, 100-acre estate that feels like a private wilderness retreat for romantics and nature loving couples! The Wedding Photos here are unbelievable.

Whether you’re tucked away in the historic 19th-century barns or taking in the high-spirited energy of a ceremony by the lake, Grange Valley offers a grounded, textured backdrop for your story. It’s a place where the landscape is as bold as the love being celebrated, making it the perfect spot for a wedding day that feels like a true adventure.

A Poconos Nature Filled Wedding Day

When shooting at a venue this size, the focus is on the movement and energy of the day. We aren’t here for stiff, staged portraits; we’re chasing the real moments – the laughs by the water, the transition from the ceremony to the party, and the way the light hits the vineyard at sunset.

The goal is to produce a gallery that feels honest and vibrant. We lean into the natural grit of the Poconos landscape, ensuring the colors are rich and the atmosphere of the day is preserved exactly as it felt in person.

3 Tips for Your Grange Valley Wedding

Take Advantage of the Lakeside and Vineyard Variety

Grange Valley has two very different vibes within a short walk of each other. The lake offers a sense of scale and open air, while the vineyard provides a more intimate, organic setting. Setting aside a few minutes for portraits in both areas gives your gallery a diverse look that covers both the “mountain” and “winery” aspects of the venue.

Lighting Strategy for the Historic Barns

The reception barns are full of character, with old wood and high rafters, but they can get dark quickly. We use off-camera flash (OCF) as a standard here. It’s the only way to make sure we show off the details of the room and the energy of the dance floor without losing the warm, moody atmosphere that makes these barns so cool to begin with.

Embrace the weather!

Since so much of Grange Valley is outdoors, the weather in the Poconos will play a role in the day. Whether it’s a foggy lakefront morning or a sudden mountain shower, we don’t let it slow things down. Some of the most interesting shots happen when the weather gets a little moody, so we just work with it to add some extra texture to the final set of photos.
