Fall Star Barn Wedding

Nov 14, 2024

Krissy and Brandon’s fall Star Barn wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, friendship, and joy. From the moment I arrived, I knew this wedding was going to be something truly special. Krissy was the kind of bride every photographer dreams of—her warmth and kindness radiated all day, not only to her family and friends but also to her vendors. When it was time for me to leave at the end of the night, she actually teared up, saying she was sad to see me go. Moments like these are exactly why I love working with HMP couples.

They become friends as much as clients.

The day was filled with one special moment after another. Krissy and Brandon exchanged their vows in a beautiful church ceremony before heading to the Star Barn for the rest of the festivities. The Star Barn itself is an incredible venue, especially in the fall. It offered so many gorgeous photo backdrops that I could have spent hours just capturing portraits there! From the scenic barns to the picturesque pond, each spot felt perfect for their romantic fall Star Barn wedding.

We could not have asked for a better backdrop!

Krissy and Brandon’s color scheme was also stunning, with muted bridesmaid dresses in soft shades, paired with the most beautiful fall-inspired bouquets by Sarah’s Floral Designs. The colors played off each other perfectly, creating an elegant autumn palette that truly elevated the day. And when it was time for the reception, Blue Label Band brought the house down. They kept the dance floor packed all night long, engaging with the guests and performing hit after hit.

Their energy was contagious, and they created a night everyone will remember.

To kick off the dancing, Krissy and Brandon’s uncle led a grand march—a fun tradition that got everyone up on their feet. All the guests lined up, forming a parade that weaved through the barn, with Krissy and Brandon leading the way. This special moment set the tone for an evening filled with laughter, love, and celebration.

Congratulations, Krissy and Brandon! Your fall Star Barn wedding was unforgettable, and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it. Here’s to a lifetime of love and happiness!

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
