A Stylized Wedding at Emerald Acres Wedding Barn

Jenna Nelson |  March 3, 2016

Emerald Acres Wedding Barn sounds just like the secret gem that it actually is. Located just north of Indianapolis, the 125-year barn was the perfect setting for the "organic elegance"-themed style shoot that Brooke Tichenor of savoir faire events was envisioning. The quiet countryside that surrounds the historic barn is what Brooke describes as both romantic and majestic. The style concept she was after was organic, yet elegant. "We wanted to showcase the natural beauty of the barn and the lovely surrounding landscapes; the 'elegance' component was incorporated using charming decorative accents (glowing white lanterns), vintage pieces (teal blue settee), and soft, lush flowers to enhance the authentic beauty of the venue," says Brooke.

Magical, Astronomy Inspired Shoot

Working as a wedding professional in Northern Indiana, we don't have beach weddings, forests to photograph in or mountains to explore with our bride and grooms like the rest of the world has. But because we're away from the big city lights and the busy roads, we have the stars. If you turn away from the night lights and look at the dark sky, a billion of glimmering lights that appear. The abandoned warehouse was a perfect location to showcase our love of the stars and our astronomy-inspired intimate wedding set up.
