I’ve always loved a good backyard wedding. They just feel so intimate, so natural, and they’re always such a blast. Whitney and Steve’s backyard wedding at Whitney’s parents’ house took it to a whole new level. Their property was insanely beautiful. I’ve worked at actual wedding venues that don’t even come close to what they had to offer. From the trails through the woods to the gorgeous patio area used for cocktail hour to the pool (which makes an appearance at the end of this post,) I was in my glory photographing Whitney and Steve’s day there. To make it even better, these two were the epitome of a laid back couple. They had a blast every step of the way, and I’d argue that it was because of their demeanor going into it. Working with them was so enjoyable and effortless even on one of the hottest days of the year. I’m so glad they chose me to be a part of their day, because it was one I’ll never forget.
