Intimate Backyard Wedding

Congrats Erika and Nikole and their recent wedding ceremony held in a beautiful backyard in Corona, Ca. I love backyard weddings! As I have blogged about before, backyard weddings are very intimate and are all about the couple! I really felt the love on this wedding, they adore each other. We drove around and pulled off of the side of the road to shoot the romantics, very fun and rustic. In today's economy especially, backyard weddings are becoming more popular. I have seen some awesome, classy, fun, intimate, detailed, backyard weddings. Saving money on the venue can result in affording a better photographer and better vendors all away around.  You are not limited on food and can pick your own caterer as well as have no time constraints with the church or wedding venue. When there are no time constraints you can spend more time shooting great romantics and go to multiple locations, even though we were behind on the scheduled timeline for this wedding, we still had plenty of extra time and we never felt rushed. More money can be spent on the details, and by hiring a full service wedding coordinator that also does design and florals can actually save you money. Regardless of the legalities around same sex weddings, Erika and Nikole did not let that stop them, they still went ahead with full wedding plans to celebrate their love. Beautiful Bride!
