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.

If you’re searching for a historic, one-of-a-kind wedding venue in Springfield, Missouri, let me introduce you to the crown jewel of the Ozarks wedding scene: Haseltine Estate. I have had the absolute privilege of photographing weddings here multiple times, and every single time I pull up to that 1897 mansion, I fall in love with it all over again. There is truly nothing else like it — not in Springfield, not in Southwest Missouri, and honestly, not for hundreds of miles in any direction.
