BlackBird Images recently shot at wedding at the Cyrus McCormick Farm in Steele's Tavern, Va (about 15 miles southwest of Staunton, Va). It's a nice place for an outdoor wedding, with a variety of pretty spots available for the service. The couple we photographed chose to have the service in an open area near a few of the larger buildings. Here's a photo of the service, shot from a hill above:
And here they are just after walking back down the aisle as husband and wife:
Using the Farm for a wedding venue does pose one problem, though: the Farm won't let you use any of the buildings, even for dressing. The bride solved that problem by bringing a tent; she used it for last-minute makeup and wardrobe checks. So, it's a pretty place, but it's a little inconvenient, especially if you have a number of guests attending. Plus, if you're making last-minute hair adjustments, you could find yourself in a position like this.
