“As a photographer, one of my favorite places to shoot a wedding and/or reception is The Barn at Lost Creek. The venue has a beautiful outdoor wedding space and the inside serves as both wedding and reception area. Both are target rich environments for excellent portraits. The food is always excellent and Margo is an outstanding host.”
