Who knew a muddy wedding dress and a pair of Crocs could look this good? 

Grace and Dalton fully embraced everything the autumn countryside threw at them during their wedding at The Out Barn. From fiery red leaves to steady drizzle and ankle-deep puddles, they took it all in stride and turned it into something beautiful.

The Out Barn is one of those Lancashire wedding venues that looks incredible in autumn. The surrounding countryside shifts into deep reds, burnt orange and warm golds, and the rolling fields make every photo feel full of texture and atmosphere. Even on a soggy day, the whole place feels calm, open and quietly dramatic.

Dalton’s green suit worked perfectly against the autumn colours. Everywhere we turned, he stood out against the landscape in the best way. Grace had started the day in chunky heels but quickly swapped them for Crocs once we stepped outside into the mud and puddles. Very sensible, extremely relatable, and surprisingly photogenic. Dalton helped with her dress to protect it from dragging through the wet grass, and it made for the sweetest little moments between them.

One thing they absolutely nailed was their dip pose. They’d practiced it, perfected it, and when the moment came, they were completely effortless. Even with the damp ground and the rain settling on their shoulders, they pulled it off like they’d stepped out of a film.

As a Liverpool wedding photographer, I love weddings like this – relaxed, natural and totally unbothered by the weather. The Out Barn is ideal for couples who care more about enjoying the day than keeping their outfits pristine. The building itself is stunning, with its sweeping curved structure, big windows and views across the countryside. Rain or shine, there’s always somewhere beautiful to create something real.
