Wedding Venue Spotlight: Barker Mansion
I was recently asked to do promotional photos and videos for the recently remodeled historic Barker Mansion. They had seen my wedding images there and loved my work. It was an honor to be invited.
I thought this would be a good time to do a wedding venue spotlight since the 100+-year-old building is now open again and booking weddings and other events.
If you are planning an elegant wedding with some of the most unique photo opportunities, you should contact Barker Mansion and set up a tour. A list of vendors is at the bottom of this article.
Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies At Barker Mansion
The enormous courtyard is where outdoor wedding ceremonies occur. There are also many photo opportunities with a fountain walkway and the wonderful brick building as a background.
One of my favorite ceremonies at the Michigan City attraction was held at Twilight.
Getting Ready Inside the Mansion
Inside the historic building, there is a bridal suite and a groom's suite. These rooms offer an opportunity for day-of prep and are also suitable for elegant wedding portraits.
