Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Barn at Rayne Run, Marion Center

A wedding at The Barn at Rayne Run in Marion Center pairs a restored timber frame barn with a creek running through the grounds. The barn has soaring ceilings and soft lighting inside, while outside there are lawns and meadows with shaded groves between them, and the creek is where couples go for wedding photos and a few quiet minutes of video together.

Your wedding ceremony can be outdoors in one of several spots on the grounds, from an open meadow to a grove in the shade, so you can choose the setting and the light you like best. The barn and the outdoor areas can be arranged for a large wedding or a small one, and the family that runs the barn works with each couple on the guest count and the layout. After the ceremony, walk down to the creek with your photographer for pictures of the two of you and your wedding party before you head inside.

Inside the barn, your wedding reception has room for dinner and dancing under the high timber ceilings. The owners give each event their personal attention. For your wedding video, ask on a tour where the band or DJ sets up on your wedding day and where the toasts happen, so your videographer can catch clear sound and a good angle for the first dance. A ceremony outdoors near the creek may pick up the sound of moving water, which can be lovely on film if the vows are miked well.

• Schedule a tour to walk the grounds and pick your ceremony spot.
• Ask about capacity, catering and the rain plan for an outdoor ceremony.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and take your photographer to see the creek.
