Saltwater Farm Vineyard sits at 349 Elm Street in Stonington, on the Connecticut shoreline, bordered by the tidal marshes of Wequetequock Cove. The land was farmed for centuries, became a small community airport in the late 1930s, and today grows estate wines around a preserved airplane hangar that now serves as the winery. Capturing that mix of vines, marsh and timber-trussed hangar in Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding photos and cinema is why we love working here as a Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding photographer and videographer team.
From a vineyard ceremony to the last dance at Saltwater Farm Vineyard, we offer Connecticut wedding photography and Connecticut wedding films across Stonington, Mystic and the rest of the Connecticut shoreline, separately or together as one coordinated team.

What follows is our behind-the-camera guide to the Stonington vineyard: how the hangar, the vines and the marsh shape Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding photos and films.
Saltwater Farm Vineyard Wedding Venue: the Hangar, the Vines & What the Space Demands
The hangar and Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding capacity
When planning around Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding capacity, the venue publishes sample floor plans that run from 84 guests up to a 225-guest layout, with options that set the head table in front of the windows or the fireplace and the dance floor in the center or against the back wall. The building itself is the old airplane hangar, restored with a milled aluminum exterior, original wood sheathing and massive timber trusses overhead, plus a mezzanine above the main floor. Confirm current guest counts and layouts with the venue for your date.
Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding photos: the vines and the marsh
For Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding photos, the vineyard rows are the signature backdrop, with long lines of vines that frame portraits and wedding party photos. Beyond them, the property borders the tidal marshes of Wequetequock Cove, so tall coastal grasses and open sky give us a softer, wilder setting for golden-hour portraits. We plan the portrait timeline so you get both the structure of the vines and the light over the marsh.
Inside the hangar: timber trusses, string lights and an airy hall
Inside, the vaulting roof and exposed timber trusses make the hangar feel open and airy, and the warm string lights we have filmed under turn toasts and first dances golden after dark. We add directional off-camera lighting so speeches and dances stay bright and natural while keeping that glow, and we use the mezzanine and the long sight lines of the hall for wide, cinematic angles.
A short history that adds to the day
Per the venue's history, the land was part of a farm established in 1653 around Wequetequock Cove. In the late 1930s William J. Foster opened a small community airport here and built the hangar. In 2001 Michael Connery bought the long-dormant property, converted the old airfield into a vineyard while keeping a grassy landing strip, and had the vintage hangar preserved and reimagined as the winery. Couples who choose Saltwater Farm often love that story, and we look for frames that show the hangar as much as the celebration.
Why Hire One Saltwater Farm Vineyard Wedding Photographer and Videographer Team
At Saltwater Farm Vineyard, the day moves between open vineyard rows, the edge of the marsh and a big timber hangar, while the light shifts from bright coastal sun to string lights. A photography team and a separate video team that have never worked together can easily lose time or step into each other's frames.
Hiring one studio for both your Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding photos and your wedding film means one shared shot list built around the vines and the hangar, wireless audio planned for an outdoor vineyard ceremony and emotional toasts, and one consistent visual story from your first look through the last dance.
