The Barns of Kanak Wedding: Matt & Sydney

Matt and Sydney got married at the Barns of Kanak, and their day was so beautiful. This venue is in Prince George, Virginia, and it’s perfect if you love a mix of rustic and elegance. They had an outdoor ceremony, soft colors, and the sweetest details. If you’re planning a Barns of Kanak wedding or looking for ideas for your own Virginia wedding, this post has lots of photos to inspire you.

These two have known each other for a long time. They actually grew up in church together. What started as a childhood friendship turned into something special. Matt proposed to Sydney in a cornfield, right at the beginning of harvest season. He got down on one knee in front of the combine, and it was just so them. Simple, sweet, and full of meaning.

From the moment I showed up at the Barns of Kanak, I knew it was going to be a good day. Sydney was glowing, and Matt couldn’t top smiling. They were just so happy to get married. The whole day of full of joy and happy tears.

One of the most special parts of the day was seeing their families come together to celebrate. Everyone was so happy for them, and you could feel that in every single moment. As the sun started to set, we snuck out for sunset photos. The light was soft and golden, every photographer’s dream!

If you’ve ever dreamed of a sweet country wedding, The Barns of Kanak is the perfect venue. It’s cozy and beautiful, and the staff is absolutely amazing! One of my favorite parts about this venue is their “Hitching Post”. It’s a little shed where couples sign a lock with their last name, hang it on the building, and keep the key. This is such a sweet tradition, and watching Matt and Sydney add their lock was so special. It’s a symbol of forever, something they’ll remember every time they see that key.
