I realized that when looking for a wedding venue online, and specifically a barn, it takes a lot of effort to find pictures of these rustic barns that often aren't even advertised as wedding venues. I narrowed down my choices by searching photographers' blogs and looking at their photos from different wedding venues. It also gave me an idea of what photographers are out there, and ones that are familiar with the venue!
Below you'll find a list of the barns I have come across in Maryland that you can rent for a wedding. Underneath the different barn venues there are links to different photographers' posts with pictures of that particular venue (and some wedding planning sites). Hope this is helpful!
This is still a work in progress and I'll continue to update it with information once I have it :) Feel free to comment other pictures/places and I'll add them in, or make corrections if necessary.
