Weddings + Barns = Vintage Fun
It was magical day that starts with a smile, a smile that lights up a room, or in this case a barn. Megan & Bob’s love and laughter bring warmth to a room, and in turn makes for some magical images.
I was nervous and excited to shoot this wedding when Megan told me that it was going to be in a barn. I nervous because the wedding was in November, and as most of you know that could mean snow, but excited, because lets face it, I love rustic.
In fact I really love old barns warehouses and old cityscapes, and this wedding had it all. It also had a very fun couple whose happiness and love for each other is evident in the way they look at each other, and through their smiles. Thankful the weather was incredible, in fact I think it reach seventy degrees
.
Being a candid & photojournalistic wedding photographer, the day started with some salon silliness.
Because the weather was so perfect Megan was able to get ready in the barn loft, which a very cool look. It also made for some very cool detail shots.
I LOVE these candid wedding photographs of Megan getting ready with her bridesmaids. The joy, love & friendship of this group exudes from these two images.
The Guitarist saved the day when the sound system went out, made an opening solo turn into the wedding music for the whole ceremony, and it just seem to fit so well with the theme of this wedding.
Yup – it’s true – Megan & Bob were married in a barn! A very vintage wedding indeed – these vintage wedding photographs have a certain old-world charm to them. We LOVE non-unique weddings around here, anytime a couple makes their big day their own it’s the best!
The wedding was perfect and following the wedding was a perfect 1967 Chevy Impala Convertible.
After a quick drive we had some fun at this old barn across the street. A few weeks ago we worked with a couple who wanted to pose with assault rifles, but Megan and Bob made do with a hoe and pitch fork.
The reception was in Toledo so I found this old train bridge, which Megan loved, and I did also…epic.
The reception was perfect the day was perfect and Megan knew the only way to finish off a perfect night was fire up two hand rolled cigars. Megan and Bob’s day was perfect because they cared only about having fun and begin together. What a great way to live and a great way to start their lives together.
What a beautiful bride and handsome groom! Loved all the creative and unique shots! Wishing God’s blessings on you both for a happy, love-filled marriage!

Hi!!!
I was wondering where your reception was held? We have been looking for a barn venue FOREVER and that barn looks amazing!!!
Hi Erin,
The reception was held at a Barn South of toledo off of I-75 on 582. It’s about a half mile east on 582 of 75, before township highway 92. Hope that helps!
That is so great! Its not far from Toledo at all!! Do you know who to contact about the barn? Or if it was a private barn?
I really love it those pictures were amazing!
Hi Erin, So happy that helps! No, I’m sorry, I don’t have contact info for the barn itself. I’m thinking it’s a private barn. My best advice would be to drive up to it if you’re in the area and inquire?
I think Im gonna get my Mother on that right now. I live in SC right now and its hard for me to ever get up there but hopefully I can soon! Thank you so much!!!
Erin, Did you ever find this barn? If not, any suggestions? I am searching all over for a barn in the Toledo area and having my mom and sister drive all over to find this…lol. I live in Atlanta so am completely relying on them!
Laurie~I have been looking everywhere for a barn to hold my wedding/reception this spring and have had no luck. I, myself, have been driving all around the roads stated above and have had trouble locating it. People keep referring me to barns up in Ann Arbor Michigan but I am trying to stay as close to Toledo as possible….any information would be great!
