TL;DR
Yes, we photograph and film weddings at The Coonamessett, long known as the Coonamessett Inn (311 Gifford Street, Falmouth, MA), as one Cape Cod wedding photographer and videographer team.

The Coonamessett sits at 311 Gifford Street in the heart of Falmouth, on seven acres beside Jones Pond. Couples can say their vows outdoors on the water, have cocktails on the Deck overlooking the pond, and celebrate in the Cape Cod Room ballroom, with guest rooms on site for the whole weekend. Capturing that pond-side inn setting in Coonamessett wedding photos and cinema is why we love working here as a Coonamessett Inn wedding photographer and videographer team.
From a pond-side ceremony to the last dance at The Coonamessett, we offer Cape Cod wedding photography and Cape Cod wedding films across Falmouth, Woods Hole and the rest of Cape Cod, separately or together as one coordinated team.

We have filmed at the Coonamessett, and 2 of those Coonamessett wedding films are on this page. What follows is our behind-the-camera guide to the Falmouth inn: how Jones Pond, the grounds, the Deck and the Cape Cod Room shape Coonamessett Inn wedding photos and films.
Coonamessett Inn Wedding Venue: Jones Pond, the Cape Cod Room & What the Space Demands
The Cape Cod Room, the Garden Room, and Coonamessett wedding capacity
When planning around Coonamessett wedding capacity, the venue lists the Cape Cod Room, its ballroom, for up to 300 guests, the Community Hall for up to 120, and the sunlit Garden Room for up to 100, which it suggests for rehearsal dinners and intimate receptions. The Deck, outdoors over Jones Pond, takes up to 100 for a cocktail hour. For smaller weddings, the venue also offers intimate wedding packages for 30 to 70 guests.
Coonamessett wedding photos: Jones Pond and the grounds
For Coonamessett Inn wedding photos, Jones Pond is the anchor of the day. The outdoor ceremony space sits right on the water, the Deck looks out over the pond for cocktail hour, and the seven acres of grounds and gardens give us quiet corners for portraits away from guests. We plan portraits along the water in the softest light so your gallery and film feel like a summer day on the Cape.
Inside the inn: a ballroom, a garden room, and rooms for the weekend
With 29 guest rooms and suites on site, the wedding party can get ready, celebrate and stay in one place, which keeps getting-ready coverage calm and close to the ceremony. The venue's brochure notes that the room rental covers up to five hours and that events end by midnight, so we build the timeline around those hours from the first look to the send-off.
Speeches, toasts, and the reception
One of the films on this page is built around a maid of honor's speech, and toasts like that are why we plan audio as carefully as light. In the Cape Cod Room we mic the speakers, place cameras so faces and reactions are both in frame, and add directional off-camera lighting so the reception stays bright and natural after sunset.
Why Hire One Coonamessett Inn Wedding Photographer and Videographer Team
At the Coonamessett, the day moves from open sun on Jones Pond to cocktails on the Deck and then a reception in the Cape Cod Room, so the light changes completely in a few hours. A photography team and a separate video team that have never worked together can easily step into each other's frames along a pond-side aisle.
Hiring one studio for both your Coonamessett wedding photos and your wedding film means one shared portrait walk along the water, wireless audio planned for an outdoor ceremony and emotional toasts, and one consistent visual story from getting ready through the last dance.
