A Lively Rivervale Barn Wedding, Staring Kelsey & Nick


I absolutely LOVE October weddings 🍂🍁—it's still warm enough for a lark outside... but you get those amazing autumn colours thrown in too. So when Kelsey & Nick got in touch with their wedding plans for Rivervale Barn at the beginning of 2024... I bit their arms off. Legs too. 🦵🦷


KELSEY & NICK ANNOUNCED:


"Nick and I aren't looking for posed photos, we'd like someone who will help us relax and take some lovely candid photos. Having an awesome time with our friends & family is the most important thing... so we'd love you to capture that!"


Deal! ✅ Also - it's all I know! 😎📸


GLORIOUS RIVERVALE GOODNESS:


I'd heard about Rivervale Barn, I'd listened to stories, seen photos, even stalked them on the Gram... 👀📱but I'd never actually set foot in the place. I do very much like shooting in new venues—it’s like walking on fresh snow for the first time ❄️—not treading on any previous footprints! 👣


People think that knowing a venue really well is important… but I think knowing exactly what your couple wants is WAY more beneficial 💡 (and that's what I aim to do). However, this place did indeed rock! 🤩🎉 I could describe just how stunning Rivervale Barn is, but there's a whole stack of photos below... 📸 so hopefully they'll do the job.


I will say though, it was an absolute delight spending the day with Kelsey, Nick… their families… friends… that awesome band 🎶… the wonderfully capable and passionate staff… and everyone involved.


I’ll be back… and in greater numbers. 👀


Did you enjoy reading that? 🤓 Did Mark just win you over? 💘 Do you want to adopt him? Well… you can hire him to shoot your wedding… then he’ll think about it. 😏📸
