Juan and Eva recently moved to a rural property and decided to have their wedding ceremony in their backyard.
Backyard weddings offer intimacy and personalization, allowing couples to celebrate their special day in a familiar setting. These events can be tailored to reflect the couple's tastes and style, with decorations that resonate with cherished memories or shared hobbies.
The natural surroundings often enhance the romantic atmosphere. Additionally, the relaxed environment encourages a more informal and comfortable celebration, fostering connections among family and friends.
Backyard weddings are trending all over the USA, but especially in the Midwest, in the suburbs of Chicago, Northwest Indiana, and the wine country of Michigan.
This was all on display when I arrived before the start of their outdoor ceremony.

We took family group photos at the ceremony area and then traveled by golf cart around the property taking portraits of the newlyweds.

The wedding reception was at the elegant Sips and Bones restaurant and featured many candid moments between guests being captured along with a first dance and sparkler exit.
Wedding restaurant receptions offer a unique setting for couples looking to celebrate their special day. The familiar atmosphere of a restaurant allows for a comfortable and relaxed environment, often enhanced by knowledgeable staff who can assist with catering and service.
Whether it's an upscale eatery or a cozy bistro, restaurant receptions can provide elegance and ease, making them a popular choice for smaller weddings or casual celebrations such as Eva and Juan’s.
