Sarah and Andrew’s wedding day at Back Forty was one of those celebrations that felt equal parts cozy and effortless.
Not in a “nothing went wrong” kind of way. More in a “this day fits us, we’re surrounded by our people, and we’re actually enjoying it” kind of way.
Back Forty Vibes
Back Forty has that sweet spot energy that a lot of couples are looking for.
It feels warm, welcoming, and naturally set up for a wedding day that flows without a bunch of extra chaos.
It’s the kind of place where you can have meaningful moments without it feeling overly formal, then flip the switch and let the reception turn into a real party.
A Day That Felt Like Them
From the start, Sarah and Andrew had that calm confidence about them.
They weren’t trying to “perform” the day. They were just present with each other and with the people they love, and that always makes the photos hit different.
The laughs are real, the hugs are tight, and the in-between moments show up everywhere.
Portraits That Stayed Natural
We’re big on portraits that don’t feel stiff, and Sarah and Andrew were all in for that approach.
We gave them enough direction to keep things looking clean and flattering, but the best stuff happened in the little pauses.
A quick forehead touch. A “holy crap we’re married” grin. The kind of moments you can’t fake, and you shouldn’t have to.
A Quick Planning Tip
If you want your wedding day to feel less rushed, build in a small pocket of time right after the ceremony.
Even just 10 minutes to breathe, get a drink of water, and have a “we just did the thing” moment together helps so much.
You’ll walk into cocktail hour or the reception feeling grounded, and you’ll enjoy the rest of the night more.
