Auberge's resort under the Shawangunk Ridge: meadows, cabins and cliffs on the skyline. About 35 minutes from Kingston.
Notes on Wildflower Farms
The place
Wildflower Farms is a 140-acre Auberge resort in Gardiner, with 65 freestanding cabins and cottages set in wildflower meadows and woods. The Shawangunk Ridge fills the view from almost everywhere on the property, and there are indoor and outdoor event spaces, a farm, a spa and miles of trails. It's about 90 minutes from New York City, so plenty of guests make a weekend of it.
Filming here
This is a landscape wedding. The ridge and the meadows carry the wide shots, and the light changes fast as the sun drops behind the cliffs, so I build the portraits and the ceremony around it. Open meadows mean wind, which is why every vow gets its own microphone.
What to expect
A resort like this runs on a tight schedule with its events team. I work from their timeline and your planner's, and I'll confirm the resort's rules on drones and filming spaces well before the day.
Questions about filming at Wildflower Farms
How long until we get the films?
Eight weeks for the feature and highlight films.
Which package fits a Wildflower Farms wedding?
Most weddings here are full weekends with a welcome dinner. The Cinema, or The Feature with welcome-party coverage, tends to fit best.
How do you handle the audio?
Every voice that matters gets its own microphone: a lav on whoever is saying vows, a recorder on the officiant, a feed from the DJ or band for the toasts. It's the reason the films sound the way they do.
Can we have the raw footage?
Yes, as an add-on, delivered on a drive after the edit is finished.
How do we hold a date?
A signed agreement and a retainer hold your date. Dates are first come, first served.
Do you work with our planner and photographer?
Always. I share the timeline ahead of the day and stay out of the photographer's frame.
Is travel included?
Yes. Wildflower Farms is about 35 minutes from Kingston.
Do you fly a drone at Wildflower Farms?
Only where the resort allows it and the weather cooperates. I'll check their policy with the events team before we plan any aerial shots.
