Hi! I’m a wedding photographer based in Alberta and I LOVE featuring venues to help wedding couples plan. If you are looking for a red barn exterior with a modern light & airy interior for reception photos, Beyond the Meridian is a photographer’s dream! I attended an open house on July 14, 2024 and I was in awe of how much attention to detail this venue has thought about.

Delightful Wedding Photography at Beyond the Meridian wedding venue
This venue is truly a photographer’s paradise. The bride’s getting-ready room is brightly lit with natural light, which allows for flat-lay details to be photographed with ease.
As a wedding photographer, I can attest to the venue’s photogenic appeal. The red barn exterior offers a bold and dramatic backdrop, while the modern interior provides endless opportunities for capturing those candid, romantic moments that couples cherish. The outdoor ceremony site is equipped with wooden benches. You can plan lawn games next to the outdoor ceremony space to capture more fun and candid moments for your wedding album. Some friendly competitiveness between newlyweds can be extra fun for the wedding gallery.
The outdoor ceremony arch is shaded by tall & mature trees, which gives an enchanting vibe.
