Katie + Mike

A relaxed, laid back, backyard Virginia summer wedding. As good as it gets. Katie and Mike felt like fast friends by the time the day was over, not only because their wedding was such a reflection of the two of them (Katie collected all the table decor, and wait until you see her wedding cape…), but every single person we encountered was so welcoming and at ease in front of the camera. It’s the magic of a backyard wedding - the familiarity and charm add so much to the personal feeling behind the wedding day. We were incredibly honored to witness it.
