Barnwood Events sits on eight acres of property filled with grand oak, willow, and maple trees, wildflower gardens, a pond, and so many areas for stunning wedding photos. While some couples venture to the Capitol, the lakes, or other iconic Madison locations, most stay right here on our property to capture their wedding day.
Here are some of the photographers’ most loved photo spots on Barnwood Events property.
This tucked-away area next to the Capitol City Bike Trail is a popular spot for first looks with couples on their wedding day.

Our personal favorite is the classic wedding portrait in front of the barn. It’s a fun keepsake to have a formal photo in front of your wedding venue – and it looks adorable too.

Our weeping willow tree is a showstopper, and it’s an amazing backdrop for wedding photos. A lot of couples take their family portraits in front of it, and it always looks gorgeous.

Lining one of our sheds are old whiskey barrels, and they make such a gorgeous backdrop for photos. Especially with a little dust of snow!

Last but not least is the old wooden bridge next to the pond, with a vast field as the backdrop. It’s a hidden gem, up near the parking lot, that can’t be missed on your wedding day.
