A wedding at The Stone Barn at Beardslee Farm

The wedding photographs
A spring wedding beneath the barn rafters
White pews, a wood-lined aisle and a chandelier establish the ceremony setting. The closer photographs show another side of the day: a bow tie being adjusted, flowers on the tables and Kari and Josh together at the barn doors. Open any photograph for a closer look.
Getting ready
The photographs begin with the small details and the last preparations. Kari's bridal portrait and Josh's reflection give each of them a moment in the story before the ceremony.
The ceremony, from the rafters to the aisle
The chandelier and timber framing sit above the ceremony. Wider photographs include the wedding party and the room, followed by the kiss and the walk back up the aisle.
Flowers, portraits and the reception
Pink, yellow and white flowers bring color to the tables. There are cookies marked with the wedding date, a toast at the bar and a portrait against the barn doors before the evening dance photographs.

The venue
The Stone Barn at Beardslee Farm
The venue's official history dates the barn to the 1850s, when it was part of the Beardslee family's working farm. Today, its website describes two getting-ready suites, an indoor ceremony space with vintage church pews, a reception space and an outdoor patio.
In Kari and Josh's wedding photographs, the wood framing and chandelier define the ceremony room. The barn doors provide a different background for their couple portrait, while the reception photographs show the space after dark.
Venue-supplied information: the official venue website. Confirm current arrangements, access and availability directly with the venue.
Photography and film planning
Planning photographs in a timber-framed venue
These are suggestions drawn from Kari and Josh's photographs. Confirm your own room layout, access and schedule with the venue and your planning team.
Include the whole room
The wide ceremony view includes the chandelier, timber framing and wedding party. Alongside close photographs, allow your team a clear position for a view that shows where the ceremony happened.
Save time for a simple background
Kari and Josh's barn-door portrait uses the wood itself as the background. A short portrait slot can make room for this quieter photograph between the larger parts of the day.
Discuss evening lighting
The dance photographs look different from the daytime ceremony coverage. Talk with your photo and film team about the room's evening lighting and where the dances will happen, so those moments are included in the plan.
