Michelle & Matt Intimate Backyard Wedding
Michelle and Matt dreamed about an intimate backyard wedding to celebrate their union. If you know me, you know I cry at all my couples’ wedding.

When Michelle walked down the aisle at her Father’s arm, when the couple exchanged their authentic and heartfelt vows, during the toasts when the Best Man talked about love and marriage. It happened that the Best Man was… The Groom’s brother and also… My husband!… Yes, I should mention that this wedding was especially emotional for me, because I was photographing my brother-in-law finally marrying the love of his life!
