Hi, I'm francesca.

Capturing Michelle and Ryan’s intimate backyard wedding has me so excited for these smaller celebrations we’re seeing more of! As a caveat, “small” doesn’t mean that you’re playing small or discounting the celebration of your love by putting a few candles on your table and calling it a day. Small simply refers to an intimate guest count for an extraordinary affair. And that’s just what Michelle and Ryan did for their nuptials! 

What was originally planned as a destination wedding in Aruba, turned into a beautifully intimate backyard wedding at Michelle’s family home. I can’t wait for you to dive right in and see how these two made the very best of this crazy year and didn’t let anything stop them from saying, “I Do!”

I can’t remember the first time I met Michelle, but it was years and years ago! We went to middle school together, played on the same high school soccer team, and now, I got to witness her vow to her best friend in the sweetest ceremony. (If you want to see a little #TBT, head on over to this post I shared on their wedding day!)

It’s been so wonderful to photography so many exciting moments for Michelle and Ryan in the past year, including their Engagement Session and Engagement Party!
