You might remember Mary Beth and Patrick from their engagement session around Oakland a few months ago - these two sweet people were one of the many couples whose wedding was affected by the pandemic. But - they were one of the few who chose to pair down their original day to make their marriage still happen!
Crazy enough, I wasn’t available for their original wedding date (which was a huge bummer, because we had the best time at their engagement session!). But with many schedule changes since they had inquired with me about their original date, when they reached to me a second time a few weeks before, I realized that I was able to photograph their backyard wedding celebration at Mary Beth’s dad’s home!
And seriously, it was the most beautiful day. Blue skies, shining sun, and one of the sweetest couples surrounded by their closest friends and family. They held the ceremony in the backyard (officiated by the bride’s brother!), cocktail hour around the pool, photos on the front porch, and the reception in the pool house. Does it get any more personal than that?! I am BEYOND thankful that I was able to be a part of this wedding day. Though 2020 has been full of many ups and downs - photographing this day was one of my favorite “ups” so far!
Mary Beth & Patrick, congratulations on your marriage. We are so thankful for you both and for your beautiful example of what a wedding day really revolves around - a marriage!
