Why Couples Love Harefield Barn

​

Couples consistently choose Harefield Barn for several reasons:

• Exclusive-use privacy — you and your guests can relax without sharing the space with anyone else.

• Warm, rustic character — exposed beams, timber details and atmospheric lighting create that barn-wedding feel.

• Indoor–outdoor flow — ceremony, drinks, photos, meal and party all work naturally between barn and courtyard/grounds.

• Countryside backdrop — fields, hedgerows and big skies give you beautiful views and photo/film opportunities in every direction.

• Relaxed, informal atmosphere — the barn is ideal for couples who want the day to feel welcoming, comfortable and fun rather than overly formal.

​

From an emotional perspective, couples talk about the laid-back, countryside atmosphere, the flexibility of the space and the feeling of having their own private slice of Devon for the day.

Tips for Your Wedding Photos & Film at Harefield Barn

​

To make the most of your wedding photos and film at Harefield Barn:

1. Plan your ceremony entrance
   Walk slowly, look up and enjoy the moment — it gives both photographer and videographer time to capture reactions down the aisle.

2. Schedule golden-hour portraits
   Check sunset times for your wedding date and build in 15–20 minutes to slip out to the fields or lane for soft, flattering light.

3. Use the barn creatively
   Doorways, window light and tucked-away corners are perfect for morning prep, dress reveals and intimate portraits.

4. Think about your timeline for speeches
   Whether you have them before or after food, we’ll plan microphone placement and camera positions so every reaction is covered.

5. Allow a few minutes in the evening
   A short night-time session outside the barn or under fairylights gives you some atmospheric final shots for the end of your film.

6. Keep confetti and exits in mind
   Confetti walks, sparkler exits and bubbles all look great on video – we’ll help you position guests so the moment really pops on camera.
