Erin and Josh's Intimate Backyard Wedding

I was in awe when I arrived at Erin's grandmother's property.  The driveway in itself was gorgeous, not to mention the rest of the grounds.  The ceremony site was set in the yard and there was an amazing arbor with lush flowers at the end of the grassy aisle.  There was a tent set up by the house for the reception area.  All the centerpieces were elegant and tastefully done.  Tammie, the wedding coordinator, really had placed lovely touches everywhere. 

Erin was upstairs having her makeup finished by McKenzie.  She looked phenomenal!  I grabbed her dress, shoes, invitation, jewelry and flowers and took them outside to photograph.  Finding areas to take pictures of her details was certainly not difficult.

Erin had a first look not with her husband but also with her grandparents and her father.  Every one of the first looks were completely precious.  I especially loved her grandparents reaction.
