I first met M + S while playing cards at a friend’s house. We soon became fast friends and when I learned they were going to have a backyard wedding, I knew they needed some photos to commemorate the occasion. Both had been married before and decided to be very intentional with whom was invited to their wedding, only close family and friends attended this little shindig. When marrying for the second time, I find that couples are much more relaxed and go with the flow. At the wedding animals were welcome as their dog Dora was dressed up in her best and ready for the occasion. Including pets on your wedding day is wonderful way to incorporate everyone who is important to you paws and all. I love the low key vibe of a backyard wedding. It’s all smiles, dancing laughing and great food.
