Backyard wedding

Alex and Dan's Port Washington, Long Island Backyard Wedding

Congrats Alex and Dan! I loved photographing Alex and Dan’s backyard wedding in Port Washington, NY. The backyard of their 1920s colonial was the perfect place for a fall “micro-wedding”. The setting was not only intimate, but beautiful. Working with this couple was super easy. All they wanted photographed was a few brief getting ready photos, the ceremony, family photos, and of course photos of themselves.

Photographing a backyard Long Island Wedding

You don’t need 150+ guests, a catering hall or a country club, and large expenses to get married. That’s what COVID-19 taught so many of us.

As a Long Island Wedding Photographer, I get to capture weddings of all sizes and complexities both here on the island and elsewhere. What I really enjoy about photographing smaller weddings is the simplicity of the day and seeing how at ease everyone is. I still get to capture all of the same photos without the stress of “Are we running on time?”. The same moments occur and the same level of detail exists on these wedding days.

“Simple. We’re really simple and we’re an easy going couple, Jonathan. We don’t want flashy! We’re going to have BBQ, so please eat, and our friend’s band will play. It’ll be fun!”, is exactly what Lisa told me over the phone back in February. Post wedding, I 100% agree.

Any wedding with dogs is a GREAT wedding in my book!
