Andrew and Julie {Winston Salem Rehearsal Dinner}

The night before.  The wedding plans are in place.  Every detail has been checked.  Families and friends have arrived. 

It’s a night to reminisce, share toasts and well wishes.  It’s a night that marks the beginning of a lifelong celebration as two families become one. 

There is such a special air that surrounds rehearsal dinners and Julie and Andrew’s is one that has lingered in our minds.  It was an evening filled with personal touches, country music and inspired vintage decor created by our good friends at Rebecca Rose Events and captured by Jessica Lobdell Photography.  Here’s a look back at the special night before Julie and Andrew said “I Do”.

The Granary at WinMock – Update!

Hi friends!  As many of you know, in the midst of all of the beautiful weddings, creative meetings, special dinners and other comings and goings at WinMock, we have been “quietly” working on our latest pet project around back.  We have been carefully working with our fantastic renovation crew again to transform the small former granary barn into an additional event space and we’re making great progress each and every day.  As of today, we’re right on track to open her doors in a few short weeks and we simply cannot wait for you to see! 

Now we know ya’ll are eager for a peek inside, so to whet your appetite here are a few shots of our renovations along the way from our good friend Tom McCulloh of TMphotography.  More to come!

Sarah And Michael {Winston-Salem Wedding Ceremony And Reception}

This month brought a special moment for us all at the barn.  On October 8th, roughly a year after we threw the first scoop of dirt to kick off our renovation project, we had the wonderfully sweet moment of watching one of our very own say “I Do”.

It’s hard to put into words how special it was for us to watch Sarah & Michael wed here at the barn.  Sarah is the lovely daughter of our “boss-man”, Wayne, and Michael is the sweet classmate who stole her heart.

A few months after renovation on the barn began, Michael asked Sarah to marry him in the rustic unfinished space.  From then on, the project took on a whole new meaning for us all (especially for a certain father of the bride-to-be).

Today we are delighted to share a glimpse at the day we have all been building towards….

Let us proudly introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Williams

Heather and Jeremy {Winston Salem Barn Wedding Photography}

We were just smitten the minute we received a link to Heather and Jeremy’s e-session at the barn.  They are just magnetic and we simply cannot wait to have them say “I Do” with us in November. Here is a sneak peek at the charming bride and groom to be…

Meet The Sharpes! {Winston-Salem NC Wedding Venue}

Meet Abby and Allan. He’s a medical student. She’s studying for her masters in the art of teaching program at College of Charleston. And following one lovely day at WinMock,  they are now united together as the Sharpes.

But enough from us.  Sometimes sweet videos speak louder than words…


 

A special thanks to Ryan Plantz (ryanplantz@gmail.com) for sharing his video creation and to our fantastic bride and groom for choosing WinMock as the backdrop to their amazing day.  It was such a pleasure having you.  See more from this special wedding on their blog here!

Sara + Aaron – Before And After {Winston-Salem NC Wedding}

You might remember Sara and Aaron from last year

Their awesome engagement photos, shot by David Rosen of Photo Innovations, were some of the last photos taken at WinMock before we began renovations last November.  This engaging couple also had the vision to see beyond the hay and dust and sign on as one of our very first WinMock weddings – before demo even began. 

Visionaries we said…
