Staying home has never looked so fun


Ok this was one of my favorite weddings this summer. First off Nico and Lindsey are amazing, also the way Nico looks at Lindsey was the best. Their wedding was held at Nico's parent's backyard and it was perfect in every way. They held it over the course of two days, both being absolutely incredible. Day one was the ceremony among their close family. Day two was the big reception, which included all their family and friends and I can't think of a better way to host a wedding.

Backyard Dinner

The first night was for family, proceeding the ceremony they had a beautiful dinner made for them by an in house catering group who utilized the kitchen. Keeping the ceremony night small, allowed Lindsey and Nico to share intimate memories with the ones they hold close.

Wedding Jeopardy

Nico's groomsmen were his two best friends since elementary school and I couldn't love that more. The boys actually surprised them with a hand made (by them!) Jeopardy game board, to which they let everyone who was apart of night two take part in trying to answer questions about the couple.

DJ or Live Band?

During the second evening Nico and Lindsey hired a band that they loved from Taos, NM and it was no joke the best party I have photographed and been apart of. The band sounded like a DJ and got every single person on the dance floor through the night.
