IF: Jeff & I could do it all over again, we would get married in a big old rustic barn, with:- all our friends and family again
- fresh squeezed lemonade
- homemade jam + corn bread
- square dancing
- vintage table cloths + doilies everywhere
- at least 100 strands of twinkling lights
- definitely the twinkling lights.
Instead, I am begging you to plan a barn wedding and invite me. Even better, invite us to photograph your barn wedding!
Edit (1/12/12): In the 3 years since I originally posted this, I've had tons of hits and inquiries about awesome barn, farm, or just plain lovely outdoor venues in Minnesota! We have shot weddings at many of them--and dream to visit them all some day. Congrats--I think that the good old Midwest is such a gorgeous, down-to-earth place to plan your wedding!!
