Backyard Summer Wedding in Lewiston, NY -

When I tell you this Lewiston NY wedding was so beautiful is an understatement. This day was so special and unique as they had their ceremony on a ledge looking over the water on their family’s private property. Truly taking backyard weddings to the next level.

The bride put her trust in her family allowing her sister-in-law to plan the whole wedding, but it definitely helped that her sister-in-law is a wedding planner who is VERY good at her job! Not a single detail was left out. It left all their guests (and me) speechless at every turn.

Earlier in the summer, I photographed Abby’s brother’s wedding in July. It was so great seeing the family again and dancing on the dance floor with my couples who called themselves “SEP Alums”, hahaha!

Abby and Derek are two of the most laid-back and kind people. Anything goes with them. From day one of chatting on our consultation call and then meeting them during their engagement session, I knew these two would be such a blast to work with! I really have been blessed with amazing couples.

Details and Getting Ready

A moment for the details that made photographing this wedding so easy. And how cute are these wedding shoes! If heels aren’t your thing who says you have to wear them?! Your wedding day your rules, and I love that this bride chose her rules! She even had a surprise outfit change later in the night. See below for her adorable bride jumpsuit!

It’s not a complete wedding day without a few tears, and during this moment a few were definitely shed.
