The Red Lion Inn
& Barn
South Shore · Historic Barn Venue · Est. 1704
One of the South Shore's most beloved wedding destinations, The Red Lion Inn has been welcoming couples into its historic barn since long before wedding photography was a profession. The exposed beams, crystal chandeliers, and classic New England warmth make it one of the most naturally photogenic venues we shoot.
A 1704 barn that
photographs itself.
The Red Lion Inn's 1704 barn is the kind of space that photographs itself. Cathedral ceilings with exposed post-and-beam structure, vintage chandeliers casting warm light across the dance floor, and the natural stone rockface with uplighting that creates some of the most dramatic reception portraits we shoot anywhere in southeastern Massachusetts.
The property's layout is a photographer's dream — the Hillside House provides beautiful getting-ready space, the pool and garden terrace open up outdoor portrait options, and the Cave serves as a natural after-party backdrop that gives the night an entirely different visual character. No matter what time of year, there's always a compelling shot around every corner.
We've photographed weddings at The Red Lion Inn across every season. Fall is particularly spectacular — the surrounding Cohasset Village foliage, the warm barn interior, and the golden-hour light hitting the garden creates images that are impossible to replicate anywhere else on the South Shore.
The Red Lion Inn refers more of our couples than any other venue we work with — roughly a third of our weddings each year happen here. Their sales team keeps sample albums of our work on display in the venue, and we've had the honor of photographing the wedding of one of their own coordinators. When a venue trusts you that completely, it changes how you work there. We know every corner of this property and exactly where the light falls at every hour of the day.
Hear it from a Red Lion Inn couple.
"He knew everybody's names, which was very helpful with our big group! He kept us cool, calm, and collected during everything, and was incredibly patient. He even sent us sneak peek photos the same night of the wedding."
