Courtney and Kyle planned a perfectly low-key backyard affair and when the skies opened up just as Courtney walked down the isle, they didn’t fret and neither did their guests. What a lovely couple and beautiful day.

Marissa and I (mallory) have known each other for about five years. When she introduced me to Chris, I knew right away he was special to her. In planning their wedding, all she wanted was to have their close friends and family at their home together for a beautiful celebration. Every detail of the day was planned and executed by Chris, Marissa, and their friends and family. It’s one of my favorite backyard weddings to date. There we so many special details and moments and it was an honor for us to be there for such great friends.

Rachel + Brian | October Backyard Wedding
As I sit in this Starbucks trying to drown out all the noise; the metal cups bashing the ice, the chairs scooting across the floor, the baristas enthusiastically bellowing names of people and sentence-long names of drinks, the vibration of music playing...I can't even put words to this story. This environment is too mundane for the level of spirit and emotion in this love story.
This story doesn't even need words, really.
Rachel & Brian were really connected, really emotional, really in love and really expressive of their gratitude for everyone surrounding them. See for yourself. It was one for the books.
Andi + Ben | Backyard Ceremony + Hines Hill Reception
Andi & Ben.
Two people who saw the opportunity to have a wedding day full of intention and with so much personal meaning. The ceremony took place under the giant tree lovingly named "The Mighty Oak" by Ben's family. The ninety-some acre family property, that was owned by Ben's grandpa and has been passed down, is meadow after meadow who's edges are traced with thick tree-lines and trails. The estate; an eclectic and warm home where Ben grew up surrounded by gardens, kitties and chickens.
Ben and Andi saw each other early in the day, Andi in her bridal robe and Ben in his work clothes. The guys helped set up the ceremony just an hour before donning their suits for the festivities while Andi and her girls enjoyed a sun-soaked lunch on the breezy patio. Each moment an opportunity for us to sink into the background and document quietly. The morning folded into late afternoon and the perfectly orchestrated ceremony under the rustling leaves made way to the celebration at Hines Hill Conservancy.
