Hey Homie!
Thanks for stopping by! In today's blog post, I'll be sharing some photos from a wedding day I captured this past October and highlighting the gorgeous couple + venue they chose, Bailey Barns Venue in Fairview, WV!
The Love Story
Ashley + Ash Parsley
were married this past October at Bailey’s Barn in Fairview, West Virginia. (Yes, they now share both first and last names!)
Though they'd only been together since April of 2021, the two of them knew that the other was the one they would be spending forever with. In February of the following year, Ash proposed to Ashley. 8 months later and they were saying "I do" on a beautiful warm fall afternoon.
These ladies chose to say their vows outside and celebrated their ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends, whom had all traveled from out of state to celebrate their marriage alongside them. (Even the brides themselves live in Virginia!)
The reception was held inside the barn and was beautifully decorated with their wedding colors of dusty rose, merlot, and forest green.
I am so lucky to have been the one chosen to illustrate such a beautiful and perfect rustic boho wedding in West Virginia! As you look through their wedding photos below, I hope that you can't help but smile at the sheer amount of love present in them.
The highlights below are just a peek at all the moments I was able to capture for them on their wedding day. And because of me, these two and their families will have the ability to look back and enjoy these moments for the rest of their lives. <3
ALSO, these two just announced they are PREGNANT!! Which is so so exciting for the two of them! I'm sure they will be absolutely wonderful mommas to their precious bundle of joy that's due in August! I can't wait for them to start this newest chapter in their love story & hope to get the chance to illustrate a part of it for them again.
The Venue
The view of the main room of the barn as you walk in from the bar. The room is surrounded by windows to give gorgeous natural light to the party.
The stone fireplace makes for the perfect backdrop for a couples table and photos!
The view of the main room from the fireplace. The large sliding barn doors open into the bar and cocktail hour space.
The fully stocked bar they have for events. This is located in a room separate from the main ballroom which can serve as the cocktail party space before your reception begins.
The sign and view that greets you as you enter the property, which features the main barn and an entire farmhouse for the bridal party to get ready in, and a secondary "grooms" suite that can also be used for getting ready.
The outdoor ceremony space they offer. The old building provides shade to the couple and those by the alter.
