A relaxed, heartfelt celebration with plenty of charm
Planning a wedding can feel like a lot — so finding a venue that lets you do everything in one place is a total game changer. That’s one of the reasons I love photographing weddings at Akron Acres in Akron, NY. It’s peaceful, naturally beautiful, and set up so you don’t have to spend your day rushing from place to place.
Akron Acres has a sweet little bridal suite on the property, which makes things super convenient if you want to get dressed and finish hair and makeup on site. It’s cozy — best for final touches and maybe a few quiet moments before heading out for first looks or your ceremony. It’s always nice to have a private spot to breathe and gather your thoughts before the big moments start happening.
Outdoor Ceremony with Natural Beauty
The outdoor ceremony space is one of my favorite parts of Akron Acres. It’s surrounded by trees and open sky, giving it a simple and natural backdrop that photographs beautifully. You can keep the setup minimal or bring in florals.
There’s a peaceful, tucked-away feel to the ceremony area that makes it feel really personal — like your own little corner of the world for such a meaningful moment.
🪩 Celebrate in a Rustic, Elegant Barn
The reception space is a big, beautiful brown barn that’s filled with character — wood beams, high ceilings, and just the right mix of rustic charm and comfort. As the sun starts to set, the whole space glows with soft lighting, candles, and string lights. It feels warm, welcoming, and perfect for everything from your first dance to a packed dance floor later in the night.
Whether you’re planning a fall wedding with cozy colors or a spring celebration full of fresh florals, the barn works with all kinds of styles and themes.
“One couple brought in family-style tables, greenery, and café lights — it was simple, elegant, and so inviting.”
As a Buffalo wedding photographer, Akron Acres is such a lovely setting to work in. There’s soft natural light throughout the day, tons of space for portraits, and a calm, unhurried flow that makes everything feel easy and genuine.
A few things I love:
- Golden hour photos in the fields
- Quiet little corners for portraits and first looks
- Easy transitions between parts of the day (no packing up or traveling!)
- The barn’s warm tones make for gorgeous indoor shots
It’s also less than an hour from Buffalo, so it’s easy for guests to get to — but far enough out to feel like a peaceful little escape.
If Akron Acres feels like the kind of place you’d love to celebrate your wedding, I’d love to help you capture it all. I’m a Buffalo wedding photographer based in Western New York, and I’m all about documenting wedding days with heart, joy, and lots of attention to the little details that matter most to you.
