Lake Minnetonka Backyard Wedding – Outdoor Ceremony in the Summer

Lake Minnetonka Backyard Wedding – Outdoor Ceremony in the Summer

I felt so lucky to photograph this Lake Minnetonka Backyard Wedding!

When I first started to chat with this couple about their wedding plans and how to plan a backyard wedding, I was so excited to be part of their unique and intimate event. These two wanted  the whole thing  to be “unapologetically” them.  They wanted to include the exciting parts of a wedding and skip the ones that didn’t feel like them. The result:  a fantastic and genuinely fun summer wedding  lake side full of family and friends.

With the perfect sunny summer breeze, their guests enjoyed an afternoon filled with love, and also amazing goodies like BBQ and ice cream, and let’s not forget the beer filled canoe.

This backyard wedding at the Lake Minnetonka was the fun party, and their ceremony was the sweetest! Everyone was smiling and enjoying the afternoon next to the couple, without a doubt the best day this summer!
