An Intimate Backyard Wedding

Picking and choosing what images to use for this wedding was difficult.  I honestly wanted to use them all!  Jessica and Eric have the most beautiful backyard wedding and Michael and I are still talking about it!

From the home grown flowers, and Jessica’s bohemian chic wedding dress, their wedding couldn’t have been any better!

We are excited to share some highlight photos of Jessica and Eric’s day!  Scroll down as I show off their wedding and walk you through all the elements that made their wedding so unique!

The Beautiful Details

Jessica had her bridesmaids choose dresses of their choice and I love how they all chose dresses with floral print!

These flowers were grown right in Eric’s dad’s backyard.  They bouquet’s were them put together by Jessica’s maid of honor!  BEAUTIFUL!

When it came time to pin the boutonnieres, Eric wanted his best man to be the one to do the honor….

As wedding photographers, we are often told by clients that they are awkward and nervous in front of a camera and that they just want to look and feel natural!  We all can relate to that!  I too feel awkward during family photos.  However, I've learned that by having a strong ability to pose and to notice the small details, we can make every look great and feel like their natural selves!
