  5. The details: our floorboards make the perfect neutral backdrop for the quintessential “details” image. Lay your wedding invitation suite flat on our natural wood, or stage pre-wedding details like jewelry, shoes, and perfume. Your photographer will have plenty of ideas to assist you in putting this image together, but it’s one you’ll definitely want to have on your list.

  8. Barn doors: one of our favorite features here at The White Sparrow barn is our barn door scene.

  9. The staircase: another favorite area when it comes to wedding photography, our staircase has endless photo possibilities. Standing or seated, posed or candid… the staircase is a gorgeous place to capture photos of any variety. Add luminous lanterns, scattered floral buds, or romantic fabric draping to heighten the drama of the image and personalize the staircase as your own.

  10. I do! We know you’ve already got this one covered. The moment you tie the knot is the reason for everything else.
