A big red barn, rolling farm fields, and a sky that seems to go on forever make Jean Acres a true countryside escape. As Minneapolis wedding photographers, we love heading east across the river to this family farm in Ellsworth, Wisconsin. It is an easy drive from the Twin Cities, yet it feels a world away from city life. The moment you pull in, everything slows down in the best way.
The farm is home to the Jean Acres Country Store, and the family behind it now opens the property for weddings. Couples love this venue for its warm, welcoming feel. The newly built barn has very high ceilings and sparkling chandeliers, which mix rustic charm with a little bit of shine. Inside and out, it is bright and full of character.
The upper loft seats about one hundred eighty guests, and the lower level adds even more room. Guests can enjoy a simple ceremony outside under the open sky, then move into the barn to eat, laugh, and dance. A Jean Acres wedding feels relaxed and personal. Couples often say the family makes planning easy, and the farm setting gives us wide open spaces for photos in every direction.
Joshua and Aubree Marry Their Best Friend
Joshua and Aubree met more than five years ago at a bar called Broz in Ellsworth, and the rest is history. Getting married just down the road from where they first met makes this day extra special. Over the years, they have filled their time with trips together and long days out on their boat. Simple adventures like these are what their story is built on.
For their wedding, they chose teal and burnt orange with a boho chic feel. They did not want to stress over a strict vision. Their biggest wish was simple. They wanted to enjoy the day with the people who mean the most to them as they married their best friend. We love that kind of plan, because it puts the focus right where it belongs, on love, family, and fun.
Our team is based in Minneapolis, and we photograph weddings all over Minnesota. We also cross into western Wisconsin often, since so many beautiful farms sit just over the border. Every wedding photographer on our team knows how to work with barn light, open fields, and golden hour on the farm. We keep things calm and fun, so you can relax and just be yourselves.
The Timeless editing style was a great choice for this celebration. It keeps colors true and skin tones natural, so the teal and burnt orange will look just as rich years from now. Our goal is always the same. We want you to open your gallery and feel the whole day all over again.

Minneapolis Wedding Photographers at Jean Acres
The photographers at Original Weddings love farm weddings because there is always something new to see. At Jean Acres, we use the bright red barn, the open fields, and the soft evening sky to create portraits that feel calm and natural. We plan your timeline ahead of time, so you get relaxed couple photos, fun group shots, and plenty of candid moments with your guests. Our team keeps a gentle pace and makes sure no one feels rushed, even during busy parts of the day like family photos. If clouds roll in or rain shows up, we know how to use the barn and its big doors to create lovely, soft portraits that still feel like the farm.
Our studio is based in Minneapolis, and we travel all over Minnesota and into western Wisconsin for weddings. We often work in Saint Paul, Stillwater, Hastings, Red Wing, and River Falls. When a couple chooses a farm outside the city, Original Weddings happily makes the trip so you can enjoy the setting you love. You pick your editing style, and we deliver a full gallery of honest, joyful images. Each photo is edited with care so your story looks just as beautiful in many years as it does today.
Minneapolis Wedding Videographers at Jean Acres
The videographers at Original Weddings capture the parts of a wedding that photos cannot fully hold on their own. At a barn wedding like this, we film the vows, the laughter during toasts, and the music on the dance floor, along with sweeping views of the farm. We stay out of the way and let the day unfold naturally, so you can be fully present with your guests and with each other. We also gather small sounds, like a happy cheer or a quiet whisper, that make a film feel alive.
Our video team travels from Minneapolis to weddings across Minnesota and western Wisconsin, including Saint Paul, Stillwater, Hastings, and River Falls. Original Weddings creates films that feel warm, personal, and true to who you are. Years from now, you can press play and hear your vows again, see your friends cheering, and feel every happy moment once more.
