Fun, Relaxed Spring Backyard Wedding (Alexandria, VA)/ Sari & Alex

I wanna dance, the music’s got me going
Ain’t nothing that can stop how we move, yeah
Let’s break our plans and live just like we’re golden
And roll in like we’re dancing fools
— BTS

In previous years I photographed several backyard weddings, but I don’t seem to book these as much anymore, which makes me sad as my own wedding was in a friend’s backyard - somewhat similar to Sari & Alex’s, though not as well planned (so, yes, I’m a little jealous of their “big” day).

Sari and Alex originally planned on having a large-ish party, but then decided to scale things down to family and close friends in the backyard of Sari’s childhood home. I can’t speak for the couple, but this seemed like the perfect call as both Sari and Alex were so happy and relaxed all afternoon.

Sari’s mom trains dogs and I feel like they served as the wedding party. Seriously, how cute are all three dogs in their suits? Such a perfect day!!
