Phillip & Annelise's New Mexico Wedding
I love the photos from this low-key backyard wedding in New Mexico. The ceremony took place between two trees, the flower girl was barefoot and the officiant looks like a laid-back fellow. Entertainment seems to have included a flautist and bellydancing. Bonus points for the hot DJ.
The photos from this beautiful and simple wedding are an excellent reminder that all the pomp and circumstance can just be a distraction — all you really need are the people you love and a place to stand for a few moments. See all the pictures here. Photos by romanedirisinghe.
