Love is so resilient! 

What a crazy year 2020 was. I have never felt so much uncertainty in my life. 

In the wedding world, events at large venues were cancelled in favor of small backyard weddings. Guest lists were limited, in some cases to as low as ten. We couldn’t kiss the Bride or give the Groom a bear hug. It made me wonder how wedding photography would be affected when so many elements were changing. 

I think what it did was bring our focus back to what really mattered. 

As a wedding photographer I was able to witness just how incredible backyard weddings could be. The pictures we took looked like intimate celebrity garden weddings. 

Small wedding parties packed all the joy so close that when the day arrived and sparks flew it was fireworks every where we looked.  

Looking back on 2020, I learned homemade weddings have their own beauty. Whether or not a small wedding was the plan all along or if it was a pandemic adjustment — we were enchanted.
