I was also married in a backyard, so this wedding is near and true to my own heart! The colors, the decor, the ribbon swing – the entire feel and emotions of Josh and Amelia’s backyard wedding pours from the fabulous images captured by Tara, of Dixie Pixel. With their friends playing the music during the ceremony, and a jazzy band for the reception, there are some fantastic songs that created such a beautiful playlist for their day.

PS – Interesting fact: Buddy Holly is Amelia’s grandfather’s brother!
PPS – Prepare for a photo overload…I couldn’t help it.
