Wedding Photos at Upland Brewing Company Bloomington, IN

Some couples choose ballrooms. Some choose barns. This couple? They chose barrels.

The Wood Shop at Upland Brewing Company in Bloomington proved that the most memorable weddings happen in places that genuinely reflect who you are as a couple. Surrounded by towering wooden fermentation tanks and walls of aging barrels, this intimate ceremony was as unique as their love story.

There’s something incredibly special about saying your vows in a space dedicated to craft and creation. Those massive wooden tanks weren’t just a backdrop – they represented time, patience, and the art of creating something exceptional. Kind of like marriage itself, right?

Watching the groom’s face as his bride walked down that aisle between the fermentation tanks, their little one by her side, while natural light poured through the industrial windows – that’s the kind of genuine emotion that makes my photographer heart skip a beat. This wasn’t about following tradition. This was about creating their own.

The Wood Shop’s intimate capacity made every moment feel personal. Guests weren’t just witnessing a ceremony; they were part of something authentic and meaningful in this working brewery space. The industrial-meets-rustic aesthetic created the perfect canvas for their celebration – modern yet warm, unique yet welcoming.

For couples who want something different from the traditional wedding venue, brewery weddings offer that perfect blend of character and charm. The Wood Shop delivered on both, providing a one-of-a-kind setting where craft beer enthusiasts could celebrate love in a space that felt genuinely them.

This is what I love most about photographing weddings – when couples choose venues that tell their story, every image becomes more meaningful. And honestly? Those wooden barrels and fermentation tanks created some pretty incredible photo opportunities.
