Marc and Isabel | Intimate Backyard Wedding

Flowing at the edge of the backyard was a sweet little creek, now almost overflowing because of the heavy rains from the night before. And just in the center of the creek, connected to the main yard by a little bridge, sat the sweetest little island. Here is where they gathered hand in hand, for their wedding ceremony to commit their lives to one another.

After a rainstorm the previous night, the drive out to Marc and Isabel's intimate backyard wedding was quite the adventure. Our little Honda Civic bravely made the journey through deeply flooded dirt roads leaving her mud-caked by the end of the night. But the drive was well worth it when we arrived at the beautiful property where Marc and Isabel were planning to say their vows. Flowing at the edge of the backyard was a sweet little creek, now almost overflowing because of the heavy rains from the night before. And just in the center of the creek, connected to the main yard by a little bridge, sat the sweetest little island. Here is where they gathered hand in hand, for their wedding ceremony to commit their lives to one another. They read their vows through teary eyes and were united as husband and wife before their closest family and friends. Marc and Isabel, it was an honor to be invited into such an intimate day and to celebrate and document the love you have for each other.

David and Susan | Backyard Barn Wedding

If we were to find one word to describe David and Susan’s wedding day in one word, it would be: serene. This backyard barn wedding was the perfect setting for David and Susan to pledge their vows in front of family and friends.

If we were to find one word to describe David and Susan's wedding day in one word, it would be: serene. This backyard barn wedding was the perfect setting for David and Susan to pledge their vows in front of family and friends.

David and Susan spent the morning getting ready in their farmhouse while wispy white clouds wove their way through blue sky and sunshine. Guests gathered and waited outside the beautiful red barn before the ceremony. Stunning in her satin dress, Susan made her way down the aisle to her handsome groom. There was something so beautiful and intimately romantic about the way he spoke so softly to her during the day. David and Susan were at home in each other's arms. You could see it reflected in their faces, the way they held hands, and how he so delicately and gently helped her with her dress throughout the day. The night ended in an epic downpour while guests danced to local musician Levi Britton staying cozy and safe in the barn.

It was an honor to witness and capture their love and celebration.

Congratulations!
