Barn & Co Wedding Photos
One stand-alone barn in a Balnarring vineyard, a lawn of pencil pines, and room for 150
Barn & Co is a single stand-alone barn set among the vines of Mrs Nick’s vineyard on Myers Road at Balnarring, on the Mornington Peninsula. It is one building and its grounds: a front lawn edged with pencil pines where outdoor ceremonies are held, the barn itself for indoor vows or the reception, and vineyard rows on the edges. It takes up to 150 guests seated, the team has looked after more than 550 weddings, and music finishes at 11pm.
Jena and Matt married, took portraits and celebrated here on one site, which is the Barn & Co pattern: vows on the lawn with the pines behind, portraits in the vines while the barn is reset for dinner, and dinner and dancing under the one roof. Guests park once and stay put for the day.
Photographing a wedding at Barn & Co
Late afternoon suits the lawn ceremony, with the low sun coming through the vine rows on one side; the pencil pines give a dark, even backdrop that flatters a pale dress. For portraits, walk the couple into the rows and use the barn doors as a frame on the way back, then catch the lawn at dusk when the barn is lit from inside. If it rains the ceremony moves inside the barn. The gallery above is Jena and Matt’s Barn & Co wedding.
