Barn venues are a southern Ohio favorite. They range in style, so they are great for creating so many different looks. A historic barn inherently has some character of its own- so lots of couples opt to showcase their venue and end up saving money on decor and go with minimal decor or decor that enhances the vibe of their chosen space.

Yesterday at Polen Farm, two of the most amazing people tied the knot on a perfectly sunny summer day. It has been nothing but rain in Ohio for the past week. The sun on the forecast for their Friday wedding was an exciting change of pace. Their sunflower-filled bouquets were exactly the right vibe. Rachael and Mason said ‘I do’ in the cool evening in front of all their family and friends at their outdoor ceremony at Polen Farm. Then they moved over to the barn to enjoy dinner and an evening of dancing.

This past Sunday on Deanna & Geneva’s wedding day, the forecast called for rain all day. As we all arrived at the venue, the rain just stopped; leaving us with a beautiful June evening to celebrate the union of two amazing people. One of my favorite moments from their wedding day was the first look. They opted to do a first look where they could both see each other at the same moment.
