Salem Wedding Photographer . . . Simple Backyard Wedding.

Andy & JoyLynn got married in a beautiful and simple backyard ceremony.

Their venue was filled with adorable details, a lot of laughter, and a ton of love. 

Their whole day was laid back, happy, and really to photograph.

Although I don't have any photos, their food was amazing. 

Guests ordered custom made brick oven pizzas and they were delicious!

Thank you to my wonderful assistant, Michiko, for helping me out with this one.

Portland Wedding Photographer | Simple & Elegant Backyard Wedding

What a beautiful backyard wedding this was!

You would never know, by the smile on the bride's face, that it was raining up until just a few minutes before the ceremony (literally)!

A lot of effort was put in by family and friends to make this day happen, and the details were no exception. From the flowers to the chalkboard signs, to the food. It was all just beautiful!

Oh boy...these vows were so touching! Not only did the bride and groom cry, but I think just about everyone in attendance was moved to tears as well. Their love is definitely strong and everyone could feel it. 

Okay, this was just so cute! I don't think the groom even thought about it. He just raised their hands, like he'd won the most special prize in the word! She couldn't help but giggle about it. 

I am guessing her cheeks hurt the next day because she was smiling and laughing all day. Truly. 

I was so lucky to catch this sweet moment between the bride and her grandmother. It was very bitter sweet, as her grandfather (her husband) was not able to be there and passed away shortly after the wedding.
