Austin and Erika’s Unforgettable Day

Austin and Erika’s wedding at The White Barn was a testament to the venue’s ability to bring dream weddings to life. The bride and groom chose to use the wedding prep houses and spent the weekend at The White Barn extending the entire wedding and the time the couple got to spend with their friends and family. These spaces also offered exceptional wedding prep photography and videography options.

Ceremony Highlights:

The couple chose the backdrop of the barn for their ceremony, where they exchanged vows in front of a 200+ wedding party count. The White Barn has great accommodations for larger weddings. The gentle breeze and golden San Luis Obispo sunlight added a touch of magic to the moment, making it both intimate and grand.

Reception Details:

Following the ceremony, guests moved onto the lawn and the barn, where rustic elegance met modern sophistication and incredible drinks were served. Soft lighting, elegant floral arrangements, and personalized touches created a warm and inviting ambiance. The couple’s first dance beneath the barn’s wooden beams was a sight to behold, encapsulating the romance of the evening.

Capturing the Moments

As storytellers, we aimed to encapsulate the essence of Austin and Erika’s day through both photography and videography. The venue’s diverse settings allowed us to capture a range of emotions and moments:

• Pre-Ceremony: The bridal suite buzzed with excitement as Erika prepared for her big day, surrounded by her closest friends and family. We love these moments and captured candid shots of the laughter, anticipation, and tender moments as well as a private reading of a gift that Austin got for Erika.
• Ceremony: The expansive lawn provided a breathtaking backdrop for wide-angle shots, capturing the scale and beauty of the event. The custom wedding music builds in anticipation until Erika walks down the isle and sees Austin.
• Reception: The barn’s warm lighting and rustic decor set the stage for capturing heartfelt toasts, lively dancing, and intimate moments between the couple and their guests. They splurged and got a last name sign to put up in the barn and it added a warm glow to the wedding dance floor.
