A New York backyard wedding is the perfect blend of intimacy, charm and natural beauty, and our New York wedding photographers love every one we get to capture. Set against the familiar backdrop of home, it creates a warm and relaxed feeling where love can truly shine. Every detail, from simple decor to heartfelt moments shared with family and friends, reflects the couple’s unique connection.

There is something special about saying your vows in a place that already feels like home. Guests can kick off their shoes, stroll across the grass and settle in for a celebration that feels personal from start to finish. There is no rush to clear out at a set time and no strict rules about how things should look. Couples get to make every choice their own. It is the kind of day guests talk about for years.

Backyard weddings also give couples so much freedom. They can pick the layout, the food, the music and the decor that fit them best. Green lawns, leafy trees and open sky make a gorgeous natural backdrop. When the sun goes down, a few string lights can turn the whole space into something magical. It is simple, honest and full of heart.

Taylor and Andrew’s Garden Celebration

Taylor and Andrew met on a dating app almost six years ago. Once they started hanging out, that was it. They have stuck together ever since! We love a story like that, where two people just know they have found their match and never look back. Six years in, they are still each other’s favorite person.

They described their day as a garden wedding, held outside in the fresh air. Their colors were all greens and whites, which looks so clean and classic outdoors. Faith is a meaningful part of their lives, and their celebration reflected that. Their photos were edited in our Timeless style, which keeps colors true and natural so the images will look lovely for decades.

We adore photographing weddings at home. The setting is personal, so the photos feel personal too. We watch for the little things, like a parent wiping away a tear or friends laughing together on the lawn. Outdoor light can be bright, so we look for soft shade and plan portraits for the best part of the day. Our wedding videography team loves these days as well, because every voice and cheer feels so close and real.

Our team is based in New York City, and we photograph weddings across the entire state of New York. City lofts, country estates and family backyards all keep us busy. Every wedding photographer on our team wants couples to feel calm and like themselves. Curious about more celebrations like this one? Spend a few minutes on our blog for more New York love stories.

New York Wedding Photographers

Original Weddings is a team of New York wedding photographers who love capturing real moments all across the state. New York City is our home base, and we often photograph weddings in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Westchester and the Hudson Valley. We also travel into nearby New Jersey towns like Hoboken and Jersey City when couples need us. Backyard weddings hold a special place in our hearts. They feel personal, relaxed and full of family love. Being part of Taylor and Andrew’s day at home was a sweet reminder of why we love this work so much. We never take that trust for granted.

Our photographers are experienced with natural light, which matters a lot outdoors. We know how to find open shade, avoid harsh shadows and use golden evening light for glowing portraits. Original Weddings keeps every wedding day easy and stress free. We give a few gentle prompts, then step back so couples can simply enjoy each other. That leads to honest, timeless images that feel true to the day. We pay attention to small details too, like flowers and handwritten notes. We also capture the people who matter most, from grandparents to childhood friends. Those photos often become the ones families treasure most as the years go by.

New York Wedding Videographers

Original Weddings also has a team of New York wedding videographers who love capturing sound, motion and emotion. Our filmmakers are based in New York City and travel across the state, from Brooklyn and Queens to Long Island, Westchester and the Hudson Valley. Filming a backyard wedding like Taylor and Andrew’s is always a joy, because the whole day feels so close and personal. We love how a film can carry the feeling of home right into the story.

A wedding film keeps the parts of the day that a photo cannot fully hold. It saves voices, laughter, music and the happy cheers after the kiss. Our videographers stay quiet and calm, so couples can focus on their guests. We record clear audio during the vows and toasts. Afterward, we edit everything into a personal film that is easy to share with family. We pick music that fits the mood of the day. Original Weddings wants every couple to press play and feel that same love all over again.
