Nicole and Patrick's backyard wedding is one of my absolute favorites to date. There's honestly nothing I love more than an intimate backyard wedding. It's just so personal and meaningful to everyone there. N+P's wedding was double the usual backyard wedding fun, because it was held in the backyards of Patrick's parents and grandparents' back yards! Patrick's grandmother's gorgeous garden served as the ceremony site. It was just beautiful!

Nicole is Belle reincarnated, as you'll see in the pictures below. Appropriate, since the day felt like a fairytale! We had so much fun chatting with her as she got ready for the day. Her brother officiated the ceremony as friends and family looked on. Then we took some time during cocktail hours to get couples portraits. Nicole and Patrick have been together for forever, and by the fun they were having with each other while we took couples portraits, it was plain to see they belong together.

The whole day was full of wonderful people, together in a beautiful place. It doesn't get much better than that! Congratulations Nicole and Patrick!!!
