Allison and Tyler’s Barns of Kanak wedding was one of those magical days that proves a little rain can’t dampen true love—or beautiful photography. As a wedding photographer who specializes in timeless, true-to-life colors, I’m always honored to capture love stories like theirs.
The Calm Before the Celebration
The day began with a heavy downpour while the couple got ready, but Allison and Tyler’s joyful spirits stayed high. Even as the rain poured outside, there was nothing but excitement and anticipation inside the getting-ready spaces. The warm summer air didn’t faze anyone—everyone was focused on the love story unfolding.
One of the most emotional moments was the couple’s romantic first touch. Standing back to back by the red barn’s iconic blue door, they held hands and shared a private moment before the ceremony—without seeing each other. It was heartfelt, intimate, and deeply personal as they read their vows privately.
A Venue Full of Charm and Meaning
The Barns of Kanak is more than just a scenic backdrop—it’s a venue rich in charm and personal traditions. One of those traditions is the symbolic lock ceremony, where couples sign a lock and attach it to the venue’s metal barn wall. Watching Allison and Tyler add their lock to the collection was both sentimental and sweet—a gesture that beautifully captured the meaning behind the day.
As the rain cleared just in time for portraits, we stepped outside into glowy light. The grounds, framed by rustic barns and open fields, made for the perfect canvas. Family and wedding party portraits were full of laughter and love, and later, golden hour brought a breathtaking sunset that captured the joy of being newlyweds.
Dancing, Love, and Sparkles Under the Stars
The reception was held inside the main barn, with its grand doors thrown open to let in the view of the evening sky. Guests danced into the night, celebrating Allison and Tyler with joy and energy that filled the entire space. The night ended on a high note with a sparkler exit—one of those fun, timeless moments that reminds me why I love documenting weddings so much.
