The Barn 305: country style, with horses
A two-story cedar barn, waterfalls, bridges and horses right on the property. Here a ball gown and a pair of cowboy boots get along beautifully.
Wood, water and countryside steps apart
The Barn 305 is a private venue of about ten acres in Homestead. It pairs the warmth of wood with water, bridges and gardens, so one session delivers very different looks.
The cedar barn
Its warm wood tones flatter skin and make any gown color pop.
Waterfalls and a koi pond
Moving water, bridges and gazebos give fresh backdrops, so you change the mood without leaving the property.
Horses and a carriage
The venue keeps black and white horses and a classic carriage, subject to the venue's availability.

The best light at The Barn 305
Wood and open fields look best in low, warm sun. Horses also tend to be calmer once the heat eases; we set the time around what the venue allows.
- Late afternoon: golden tones on the barn and backlit silhouettes.
- Morning: fresh light and less heat for you and the animals.
- Season: November to April is the most comfortable; May to October we schedule early and keep a close eye on showers.
What to wear at The Barn 305
Texture and earth tones rule here, or the full contrast of a ball gown in the middle of the countryside.
- Gowns in ivory, burgundy, navy, olive or gold.
- Cowboy boots, a hat or a denim jacket for a second, country-style look.
- Near the horses, closed-toe shoes and no dangling or noisy fabrics; the handler will guide you.
