When it comes to planning a garden-style wedding, few venues in the Philadelphia area offer the kind of charm and character that Terrain does. With three unique locations—Glen Mills, Devon, and Doylestown—each space has its own personality while still holding onto that signature Terrain aesthetic: lush greenery, thoughtful design, and warm hospitality. No matter which Terrain Gardens location you choose, you can count on a stunning Terrain Wedding, and a team that truly cares about your day.
We’ve had the privilege of working alongside Terrain Gardens as a preferred vendor for years, and let us tell you — it’s been an absolute joy. Their team genuinely cares about each couple and goes above and beyond to bring their wedding day vision to life. We’ve seen it firsthand: whether it’s stopping the bride and groom to make sure they get a snack break, offering a refill, or taking a moment to help calm pre-wedding nerves, Terrain’s staff is always there to support.
As a photography and video team, we truly appreciate this level of care. We want our couples to be fully present — to focus on each other, not the timeline or little details. With our combined expertise, Dearly Beloved Weddings and Terrain Gardens are all about making sure your day runs smoothly. That way, you can relax and enjoy every second.
We’ve had the pleasure of shooting at all of Terrain’s stunning venues: Terrain at Styer (Glen Mills), Terrain at Devon Yard (Devon), and Terrain Gardens at DelVal (Doylestown). Each space has its own charm. Let’s dive into why these beautiful locations might just be the perfect fit for your special day.
Terrain at Styer sits on a historic nursery in Glen Mills, PA—about 40 minutes outside of Philly. With over five acres of gardens, greenhouses, and rustic buildings, it feels like its own little world. You’ve got nature, texture, and tons of thoughtful details all in one place. It’s an easy choice for couples who want something laid-back but beautiful.
We love shooting here because it naturally tells a story. The mushroom house has so much character (and can serve as a bridal suite), the greenhouse offers that perfect soft light for portraits, and the garden shifts with the seasons. No two weddings ever look the same. It’s the kind of space where your personalities can shine, and we’re just there to capture the magic as it unfolds.

Ideal for: Couples dreaming of a rustic, garden-inspired wedding with a cozy, storybook feel
Terrain at Devon is located right in the heart of the Main Line, just a short 45-minute drive from Philly. It’s a modern venue that blends lush gardens with sleek, natural textures. The space offers a beautiful backdrop for weddings of up to 140 guests. With open spaces, skylights, and rustic touches like reclaimed wood, it’s a place where elegance and charm come together effortlessly.
What we love about Terrain at Devon is how personal each wedding feels. Whether we’re shooting in the gardens, the airy atrium, or one of the cozy indoor rooms, there’s always a new spot perfect for capturing genuine, emotional moments. It’s the kind of venue where your story unfolds naturally — and we’re here to document it all.

Terrain Gardens at DelVal is nestled on the picturesque campus of Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, PA, just an hour outside of Philadelphia. The venue is known for its stunning outdoor ceremony space, which features a beautiful paned glass structure. This space offers a sophisticated yet natural backdrop for your vows. Behind the ceremony area, an open field stretches out — perfect for golden hour photos and just a short walk from the reception space.
What we love about Terrain Gardens at DelVal is the variety of photo backdrops. The black wood walkway to the left of the ceremony space is a striking spot for first looks, couples portraits, and more. The surrounding gardens add a peaceful, romantic vibe throughout the day. Every corner has something special to offer, making it a perfect setting for meaningful moments.
