Wedding & Reception at Parker Barn // Cleveland Wedding Photographers

Lindsey and Craig’s wedding and reception at Parker Barn in Copley Ohio was elegant from start to finish.

Getting Ready at Home

They both began their day by getting ready at Lindsey’s parents home in Bath, Ohio. This made the day especially convenient for Lindsey since she was able to stay with her parents and just get up in the morning and not have to travel. It was special for Craig, knowing that Lindsey was just in the other room while he was getting ready. They decided to see each other before the wedding so they had their “first look” in the spacious back yard. This allowed us to get some creative portraits at Lindsey’s parents house and at Parker Barn.

Wedding Ceremony at Parker Barn

The wedding ceremony started in dramatic fashion with Lindsey and her father making the long walk from the house to the pond where the ceremony was being held.  A bright and sunny day, the mix of sun and shadows was a technical challenge but still was beautiful. This is the strength of a site like Parker Barn. Its wide open space allows for great depth and contrast.

Wedding Reception at Parker Barn

The wedding reception was opulent and luxurious. Just as you would expect from such a lovely couple. Planner Eileen Benson put together a beautiful reception and show just what could be achieved with the right venue.
