For a venue that is so rich in history, the most magical backdrops are all over the place. There isn’t an area in sight that would not be picture-perfect.

Since the wedding was relatively tight-knit, they were able to center on every face in the nuptial.
Something about the nostalgic, whimsical charm the barn had, made everyone grinning from ear to ear. The air was very solemn and silent from the moment the bride walked down the aisle. Apart from that, it was bursting with happiness and merriment.

The motif was anything but stiff. The guests and the entourage came in floral, flowy, and delicate outfits. The venue, aside from its natural beauty, only composed of quite minimalistic and simplistic decorations – only a few flowers, handwritten calligraphy signs, and wooden decor. The real deal embellishment was how photogenic the newlywed couple was. It wasn’t challenging to get heartfelt expressions from their love-struck faces. Every detail was a photographer’s dream!
