Featured Wedding Photography Highlights at The Mill Barns
For me, the main photography spots are the walkways. I love to keep my couples moving, and at The Mill Barns, you are spoiled for backdrops that allow a couple to interact in a natural setting.
The couple recently welcomed a newborn baby to their family for this wedding. The father had bought a harness to match his suit, which was absolutely adorable. If you look closely, you can see the tiny feet of the baby poking out from the bottom of the harness.

The unique challenges and opportunities of photographing weddings at The Mill Barns
Beautiful Locations
Given the many options available, one of my biggest challenges was choosing the perfect location to shoot. Give your photographer your top choices.
Location Diversity
The number of stunning backdrops offers the advantage of ensuring that every wedding is unique. Each photographer captures different locations, creating unique and beautiful pictures of the special day.
Lighting
The wedding ceremony room offers fantastic light for a photographer to capture the couple’s ceremony. Still, it is challenging to stand behind the couple as you will be backlit. An experienced photographer can navigate this challenge, but following the best light at the front of the ceremony is essential.
Reflection
The Mill Barns uses extensive glass, including large windows and balconies. These glass surfaces create beautiful reflections that enhance the photographs.
Architectural
During the readings, I slipped down the side to get a picture from the back, focusing on the broad architectural elements to help the couple see the view from their guests’ perspective.
Group Photo
Mill Barns has so many balconies a group photo can quickly be taken from a height with a variety of backdrops both indoors and out, so if this photo is on your to-do list, you can certainly get this done.
Styling Ideas at The Mill Barns
You want to incorporate many natural elements into your wedding decor, with wood and nature being prominent features of The Mill Barns; it lends itself to this look. Opt for a whimsical and natural feel. As for colours, any palette would work well in the wedding venue. However, I recommend choosing wild meadow-type flowers over roses, which tend to give off more of a country house vibe. With the Mill Barns having a wide-open space at the centre, adding a centrepiece such as a large tree or an elaborate wedding cake would be a great idea. Ultimately, of course, the creative choice is yours, and with the Mill Barns being a fabulous canvas, I think anything will look amazing there.
