The reason Kurtz Orchards is one of the most popular wedding vineyards in Niagara on the Lake is because there’s no other property with lush vineyards, ripe cherry orchards, pond and mature trees for your outdoor wedding. Kurtz Orchards has an endless number of beautiful spots for photos, and here are the top five must-have photos to remember your wedding day.
Kurtz Orchards has two sides: Gracewood Estates and Kurtz Orchards. Gracewood Estates has the house, and the other half of Kurtz Orchards has a ceremonial gazebo. Both sides have features worthy of your wedding album.
Kurtz Orchards has a special place in my heart. A vineyard wedding at Kurtz Orchards was my first ‘big break’. The wedding was featured on Wedding Bells, and subsequent weddings at Kurtz Orchards was published on Style Me Pretty.
Based on my experience, these are the top five must-have photo spots for whimsical and sophisticated Kurtz Orchards wedding.
1. Orchards
In the summer when cherries are in season, red fruits dot the rows of trees, adding a whimsical touch to your wedding portraits.
2. Vineyards
Rows of lush vines are quintessentially Niagara, and a photo here with you and your newly-wed husband are definitely a must. A sunset photo among the vines would be amazing.
3. Swings
Both Gracewood Estates and Kurtz Orchards have rope swings, which makes for romantic and whimsical bridal portraits.

4. Porch
The white porch at Kurtz Orchards attached to the manor photographs beautifully. It’s always glowy mid-day during your getting-ready phase of the day.

5. Pathway
The long gravel driveway from the main road to Gracewood Estates is shrouded in mature trees that turn yellow in the fall. It feels enclosed, and the vanishing point is romantic, and reflects the journey ahead.
Bonus:
6. Bridge
The bridge over the pond at Kurtz Orchards (non-Gracewood side) is well maintained with flowering pots, and has enough space for fun, large group photos.
Conclusion
When you select a gorgeous venue like Kurtz Orchards, there are so many photo opportunities. Please schedule at least 30 minutes for your portraits to remember your quintessentially Niagara experience with your newly wed husband.
