ROOTED IN memory
& TOLD IN light

If you’re searching for a wedding venue near Springfield, Missouri that feels genuinely one-of-a-kind, Industrial Grove in Fair Grove deserves to be at the top of your list. I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings at this stunning space, and every single time, I leave with a gallery I’m completely obsessed with. Today I’m pulling back the curtain on everything that makes this venue so special — and why it’s a dream for both couples and photographers.

If you’re searching for a wedding venue near Springfield, Missouri that gives you sweeping valley views, a one-of-a-kind open air chapel, and that peaceful country feeling — without driving an hour into the middle of nowhere — let me introduce you to Spring Valley Weddings & Events in Strafford, Missouri.

I have a confession to make about Sparrow Lane Wedding & Event Center in Willard, Missouri: I don’t just know this venue as a photographer. I know it as a bride.

Sparrow Lane is where I got married.

So when I tell you this venue is something special — that it is warm and beautiful and will make your wedding day feel like an absolute dream — I’m not just speaking as someone who has photographed weddings here. I’m speaking as someone who walked down that aisle, stood in those cottages with her girls, and said her vows in that stunning chapel. I know this place with my whole heart, and I cannot wait to tell you everything about it.
