Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Meadowview Barn at Gilmore Farms, Girard

Wedding photos at The Big Red Barn at the Farm have open fields and tall trees all around them. The venue now goes by Meadowview Barn at Gilmore Farms, out in the farm country of Girard west of Erie, and its barn has exposed beams, twinkling lights and an outdoor balcony. Old wood, soft lights and open sky give your photographer and wedding videographer plenty to work with in one afternoon.

You can spend the whole wedding day on the farm. Your wedding ceremony and reception can both happen inside the barn, or out in the rolling green fields, where couples set up white tents and dance under the stars. Between the two, the balcony and the edges of the fields are the obvious places to look for portraits of the two of you before guests sit down to dinner.

Packages are customizable, and the farm can connect you with local vendors for catering, flowers, photography and entertainment. If you want a tent in the fields, decide early, because it changes your floor plan, your lighting after sunset and where your videographer stands to record the toasts and your first dance. Inside the barn, those twinkling lights do a lot of the work once the sun goes down.

• Call or email to schedule a tour and check your date.
• Walk the barn and the fields with your photographer at the hour your ceremony will start.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines, parking and a rain plan for a field ceremony.

A little about The Big Red Barn at the Farm
