Our hometown mansion

A venue we can shoot from memory

The Purple Iris at Hartwood Mansion is Martinsburg’s signature historic venue — manicured gardens for golden-hour portraits, a mansion backdrop with real character, and interiors that glow once the reception starts. We have filmed multiple full weddings here, including church-ceremony days that ended in epic Purple Iris receptions.

We are based in Martinsburg, ten minutes away. That means no travel-day risk, timelines that already fit the property’s flow, and a crew that knows exactly where the garden light lands in every season — one team, photo and film together.

The local knowledge

Shooting The Purple Iris: what we know

Garden-first timelines

The gardens are the portrait star here — we schedule couple portraits for the hour the property turns gold, then move inside as the reception light takes over.

Church-to-mansion days

Several Purple Iris weddings start at St. James or another Martinsburg church. One photo-and-film crew covers both ends without a coverage gap in between.

Mansion interiors

Historic rooms mean character — and mixed lighting. We bring the same lighting discipline you see in the films above so interiors stay warm, not orange.
