Outdoor Backyard Wedding In Union County New Jersey — Outdoor Family Photography

Oh what a wonderful moment this was last summer with Pat and Christina, celebrating their beautiful wedding. It was a small and intimate backyard event surrounded by friends and family.

Pat, Christina, and their daughter Lucy shone through with this event, bringing the love of a family unit meant to be together forever.

Why I Loved This Wedding Photography

A New Jersey Wedding Outdoor Setting

Weddings are beautiful occasions, no matter what. Whether held indoors or outdoors, they offer some of the most special and precious moments you can ever have as a photographer.

This was a summer wedding in the wonderful August sunshine. It was warm but not too hot; guests rolled up their sleeves and embraced the rays shining through from all different angles.

The families worked hard to create a true wedding setting, with flower arrangements, tents, and music that perfectly complemented the scene.

Family and Friends Everywhere

Pat and Christina had about 50 guests in their backyard wedding, family and friends of all different ages. The guests ranged from grandparents to babies, something that only weddings can really provide.

These multigenerational events are so unique for a photographer because they give one of the few chances to see people of all ages interact, smile, play, dance, and more.

For this wedding, with a huge extended family seeing each other for the first time in many years and that came through over hours of laughter, reminiscing, dancing, and hugging.

Happiness In Every Photograph

It’s nearly impossible to recreate the pure joy we see in wedding photography. From the moment of guests first arrive and seeing each other, to the bride walking down the aisle, to the ceremony itself, and of course the party afterward, it’s just hours and hours of happiness.

This comes out in this wedding photography more than most.

And one unique aspect of this wedding was that Pat and Christina were joined by their daughter, sweet Lucy. Having a child witness this connection and love, surrounded by friends and family was just so special and heartwarming.
