Rachel + Konnor’s Picture Perfect Wedding at Marlene’s Barn
Some weddings just hit differently—and this one at Marlene’s Event Barn had all the right vibes. From heartfelt first looks to wildflower-drenched “I dos,” every detail felt personal, warm, and effortlessly beautiful.
💄 The Bridal Suite: Calm Before the “I Do”
The morning started in Marlene’s charming bridal suite, where Rachel and her squad spent the early hours sipping coffee, sharing stories, and getting glammed up in their matching silk pajamas. Sunlight streamed through the windows as laughter echoed between the walls.
The bridal suite at Marlene’s is more than just a getting-ready room; it’s where the nerves settle, the energy builds, and the realness of the day starts to sink in. One of the most emotional moments on Rachel and Konnor’s Big Day was definitely the first look with the bridesmaids, who lost it (in the best way) when they turned around and saw the bride in her wedding dress for the first time. Cue the gasps, tears, and full-on hype session. It was exactly the kind of moment and memory every bride hopes for on your wedding day.
🌸 Outdoor Ceremony Dreams
The ceremony took place at the stunning outdoor site just steps from the reception barn. Wooden barrels lined the aisle, topped with vibrant wildflower arrangements that added the perfect pop of color. Rachel + Konnor opted for a wooden cross also adorned with an eye-catching floral arrangement to stand behind them at the altar. And the ultimate backdrop? A sparkling fountain on the pond, catching the light as the couple said their vows to one another. It was simple, serene, and absolutely stunning—nature’s elegance with just the right touch of rustic romance.
📸 Photo Ops for Days
One of the best parts of Marlene’s Event Barn is the sheer number of picture-perfect spots, it’s basically a wedding photographer’s dream. From the soft glow of golden hour by the pond to the cozy, rustic charm of intimate moments near the barn doors, every corner of the property offers something special. The wide open fields create that dreamy, airy backdrop that makes group photos feel straight out of a styled shoot, while tucked-away paths and tree-lined nooks give couples a chance to sneak away for more candid, romantic shots.
Rachel and Konnor took full advantage of it all. Their gallery is filled with snapshots that feel effortlessly natural and editorial at the same time, like a Pinterest board brought to life, but with their own personal flair woven into every frame. Whether it was a playful stroll hand-in-hand through the tall grass or a quiet moment beneath the string lights, each photo tells part of their story in the most beautiful way.
💕 Personal Touches That Made It Theirs
What really made this wedding unforgettable were the little details that reflected the couple’s personality. You could tell they put a lot of time and effort into planning not only the wedding, but planning ways to make it special for them. A custom mirror sign welcomed guests as they arrived. During the first look, the bride gifted the groom a handmade scrapbook filled with their love story, photos of them through out their relationship, and even a page to represent their wedding day. And to top it all off they had adorable figurines of their dogs made that appeared TWICE throughout the day. They first made an appearance during the detail photos before the ceremony and then popped up again on the wedding cake, because yes, the pups are family too. And you know we can’t agree more!
