Venue photos and the Facebook page for Reinhart's Barn on Oak Lane

Reinhart's is a wedding venue out in Bernville with two barns and a grove for outdoor ceremonies, and we photographed all of it for them in June 2024 and run their Facebook page.

Reinhart's Barn on Oak Lane is a wedding venue in Bernville, out in western Berks County, with two barns to pick from. The red one went up before 1850 and it's been fully restored with heat and AC, and the bigger one was actually built in Lancaster County in 1875 and moved onto the property in 2017, which is kind of wild when you're standing inside it. We photographed the whole place for them in June 2024, every room plus the grove and the drone shots, and we run their Facebook page too.

The two barns

Most couples have scrolled through every photo of a venue before they ever drive out for a tour, so we started outside and shot both barns in full sun, with the porches, the entrances and the way they sit together on the lawn.

The main floor

Inside, we shot the main floor empty with the drapes, the chandeliers and the string lights up, so a couple can actually picture their own tables in there, and we got the stage and the covered porch too.

The game room and the bar

We didn't skip the game room with the pool table and the shuffleboard, or the bar, because that's where plenty of guests end up hanging out once dinner's over.

The bridal room and the groom's room

The wedding party spends the whole morning getting ready in these two rooms, and each one has its own restroom, so they got the same attention as the main floor.

The grove

For an outdoor ceremony there's a shaded grove with wooden benches and a path leading back to it, plus an arbor out on the lawn, so we walked the whole way from the sign to the front row.

The drone shots

We put the drone up too, so you can see how the barns, the grove and the rows of evergreens around them all fit together.

Posting on Facebook

Their own website tells couples to check Facebook for cancellations and open dates, so the Facebook page matters more than you'd think, and posting to it is our job. The cover photo and the profile picture on the page are both from this shoot.

If you run a venue and you want somebody to handle the photos and the posting, here's what a month of social media content looks like with us.
