Frequently Asked Questions
Barns can be dark inside – is that okay?
It’s perfect. We love the moody, warm atmosphere of a barn at night. We use fast lenses and cameras with exceptional low-light capabilities to capture the candlelight and the fairy lights without needing to use flash that would destroy the ambience.
What if it rains and we are stuck inside the barn?
Barns are actually great for wet weather! They usually have high ceilings and interesting architectural features (like mezzanines) that allow us to get creative with angles even if we can’t go outside. We’ll capture the cozy, huddled atmosphere of a rainy day perfectly.
How do you handle the mixed lighting (orange wood/daylight)?
This is where our editing style shines. We grade our images to embrace the warmth of the wood and the tungsten lights, rather than trying to force it to look white and sterile. This results in a rich, cinematic look that suits the venue perfectly.
Do you take photos of the venue details?
Yes, absolutely.
We approach details in three ways. First, we capture the ‘safe shots’—clean, beautiful records of your styling and flowers before the guests arrive.
Second, we shoot documentary details—capturing your table settings as they are lived in, with guests laughing across them.
Finally, we love creating artistic ‘still lifes’ from unusual details. We use light and composition to turn everyday objects into images that have their own power and feeling, rather than just being a record of “things.”
How is the sound quality for video in a barn?
Barns can sometimes be echoey due to the high ceilings. We counter this by using individual lavalier microphones on the speakers during the ceremony and speeches, ensuring we capture crisp, clear audio regardless of the room’s acoustics.
Do you travel to barns across the UK?
Yes. We have shot in barns all over the country, from the Cotswolds to Yorkshire. Every barn has its own character and light, and we love the challenge of discovering a new one.
