The nice thing about having an indoor wedding venue, or at least a venue that offers an indoor option, is that should nasty weather arrive on your best day ever, there is a way to still have a beautiful wedding day while avoiding the weather! Today I want to share with you some of my favorite ones, and all of them are perfect for indoor ceremonies that include stunning outdoor options for photography!

Shhhh..this is just between the 2 of us, ok?! Ok.
You may have noticed and you may have not, but I am intentionally telling you about indoor venues that have windows and natural light…because I believe it is my job as your wedding photographer to educate you on some things that matter. If you really want those natural looking photos..if you really care about getting good portraits…if you care about the details…if you long for authentic and heirloom imagery… windows are a hugely key for your wedding day if you are wanting an indoor venue. Artificial light often creates yellow looking skin tones….not natural by any means. 😉 Hence why these options for indoor venues are good ones because they offer that natural light that is so needed. And hey, while you are here, if anything I have written in this post resonates with you, if you are looking for a wedding photographer for your laid back but high-end and classy wedding, click HERE to reach out for your wedding day. It would be an honor to serve you during the engagement and wedding season!
I hope you enjoyed this post and that you found it helpful in your search for a wedding venue!
