Darby House Wedding In Spectacular Mid-Century Modern Style

Sisters & Shared Experience

That is Lexi in the little black dress, sister to Abby and Maid of Honor. I photographed Lexi’s wedding a couple years ago. This year I have photographed two sisters of prior clients. I take a little pride in that fact. Their weddings were worlds apart despite being sisters. Abby & Ben’s Darby House wedding was a classic mid-century modern masterpiece, with ladies in black dresses and gentlemen in slim-cut tuxedos.

Abby and I shared something else as well. Her wedding was on my exact anniversary date. My wife and I normally treat our wedding anniversary with some reverence. Typically we travel or do something special. My wife and I agreed to move our celebrations only because of my history with Abby’s family.

If you are unfamiliar, the Darby House is just west of Columbus. It is a mid-century mansion perched deep inside a river valley. The patio behind the house is on the river bank and hosts outdoor wedding ceremonies. The property is massive. The house is surrounded by a small wood, but the remainder of the landscape is rolling farm land, which is mostly open grass fields.
