Beautiful Backyard Wedding

There is just so much to say about Benjamin and Alexandra’s wedding.  It had all the elements that make a wedding unforgettable:  love, laughter, fun, beautiful, and more love and laughter!  Michael and I enjoyed being around Benjamin and Alexandra and all their family and friends.  They made us feel like a part of the gang and we are so thankful that we were able to play a part in making their wedding day wonderful!

Their wedding colors were lavender with hints of sage, which fit perfectly with the backyard, country feel.  The florals and centerpieces were all put together by Benjamin and Alexandra’s own family.  That just goes to show how creative their family’s are!

Traditions

When the preparations were done and the time came to say say I do, Benjamin and Alexandra exchanged their own vows under a huppah.  A huppah is a Jewish wedding canopy.  The huppah symbolizes the new home that they will build together!  They made their ceremony complete by adding a sand ceremony and the traditional Jewish “breaking of the glass” ceremony complete with shouts of “mazel tov!”  We absolutely enjoyed every bit of their ceremony and we cherish the fact that we get to experience new cultures and traditions!

We were so honored to photograph their amazing wedding and we wish Benjamin and Alexandra nothing but happiness and prosperity!

Enjoy are favorites!

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!
