What I love most? There isn’t just one spot to take photos. There are many. Intimate corners for quiet moments. Wide open spaces for the kind of sunset that stops you mid-sentence. A cozy getting-ready house on site, and an outdoor lounge that turns golden hour into an actual experience. The cool thing is, it doesn’t feel like a barn. The spaces for the ceremony are tucked away surrounded by the forrest. There are so many ways you could totally make it your own.
And when the stars come out? There’s even a bonfire spot—s’mores please. It’s perfect for late-night hangs with your inner circle, warming up with blankets, laughter, and the kind of conversations you never want to end.
It’s the kind of venue where you don’t have to force anything—the beauty is already there, waiting to be part of your story. Whether you’re sharing your vows beneath the trees or twirling under café lights, every inch of this space is perfection.
