How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
Barns and farms are about open sky and long light. I plan the portraits out in the field or under the big tree in the last hour of sun, and inside the barn I keep the warm string light glow instead of washing it out with flash.
This venue publishes outdoor space, so I would plan around the sun. A ceremony in full midday sun means squinting guests and hard shadows, so look up the sunset for your month first and work back from it. Even if dinner is inside, twenty quiet minutes outside before sunset make the photographs couples frame.
A big outdoor wedding needs a plan more than more cameras. Photo and film work as one team, we agree on the family photo list ahead of time, and we place ourselves before the procession so nobody blocks the aisle.
Ask where you will get ready. A bright room with a big window makes the dress, the details and those first quiet minutes look their best, and if it is close to the ceremony spot it saves time on a hot day.
Questions To Ask Reid Barn
- What is the food and beverage minimum for our date, and what does the package include?
- If it rains, which indoor room holds the ceremony, and when do we have to decide?
- Can we bring in an outside caterer for a cultural menu, and is there a fee?
- Is there a suite for getting ready, and does it have a big window?
- Where is the shade at the time of our ceremony, and can the chairs face away from the sun?
- What time does outdoor music have to stop, and is the space private to us all day?
- Which areas of the grounds can we use for portraits, and when is the last call for the rain plan?
Send me the answers and your date, and I will plan the photographs and the film around them. Check your date.
Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At Reid Barn
Reid Barn lists outdoor space, so the ceremony time is the one decision that changes every photograph. I like a ceremony that ends a little more than an hour before sunset. The light is softer, guests are not squinting into the sun, and we walk straight from the recessional into portraits while the sky warms up. Reid Barn does not publish a rain plan, so ask for it in writing and walk the backup room on your tour.
The times below are worked out from the sunset in Atlanta on the 15th of each month, with daylight saving included. Move everything earlier in winter and later in June.
| Month | Ceremony | Portraits Begin | Sunset | Blue Hour Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May | 6:45 PM | 7:30 PM | 8:30 PM | 9:00 PM |
| October | 5:20 PM | 6:05 PM | 7:05 PM | 7:35 PM |
Getting ready photos usually start about two hours before the ceremony, so book hair and makeup to finish thirty minutes before I arrive.
