The Harper Wedding Photography
The Harper is an event barn in Costa Mesa built around floor-to-ceiling glass garage doors that open onto views of a pond and stream. Lush lawns and greenery surround the grounds, and the barn’s contemporary design and sleek lines give the space a clean, modern feel.
Why Couples Love The Harper
Couples love the contrast — the openness of a barn paired with the polish of contemporary design. Sliding the glass garage doors open blurs the line between indoors and out, so the pond, stream, and surrounding lawns become part of the room, and the sleek, modern lines keep every shot looking clean rather than rustic.
Getting Ready at The Harper
With lush lawns and greenery surrounding the grounds, there is plenty of space to step outside for quiet getting-ready portraits before the glass doors open for the day. The barn’s clean, contemporary interior also gives us bright, uncluttered light for detail shots.
Couple’s Session
The pond and stream give us a natural, reflective backdrop just steps from the barn, while the surrounding lawns and greenery offer open, sunlit space for portraits before the glass doors are drawn back for the reception.
Wedding Ceremony
Ceremonies can take place on the lawn within view of the pond and stream, with the barn’s glass garage doors open behind the altar so the contemporary interior frames the outdoor backdrop.
Wedding Reception
Once the glass garage doors slide open, the barn’s sleek, contemporary interior connects directly to the lawns and water views outside, giving the reception room to breathe in both directions as the evening goes on.
