Backyard wedding photography with a pig roast in Maryland

Classy indoor weddings with the artwork, candles and mood lighting are great. You all know I love them. But I experienced one of the ultimate American traditions in October with Karen & Rick ... the backyard wedding.

I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at how nice the day would be. On outdoor wedding in October carries some risk. But I couldn't have been more pleased, and I had the honor of being involved with an amazing family who enjoyed rural living, beautiful skies and nature at its best. This Philadelphia Photographer is thrilled with the results.

Karen and Rick had the wedding at a family member's house in Hampstead, MD and the scenery was fantastic. The weather was perfect, and I don't know if the sky could get more blue.

One of the best parts of the day, for all of us, was the extra time set aside for pictures on these old Minneapolis Moline tractors. They're rusted over, but so hott in pictures. And of course, much credit must go to the wedding party for being so open with sitting on dirt, rust and logs.

They even had a pig roast and beer truck, which were perfect accompaniments for everyone. The guests were pleased. The food was amazing. It was a blast. Congrats you two. We're thrilled!
