Relaxed backyard wedding in sunny Phoenix, AZ

There’s something so dang fun about backyard weddings! I don’t know, maybe it’s the relaxed atmosphere or the sentimental feeling (if it’s your own backyard), or perhaps it’s the house party vibe crossed with a formal event that makes into so unique. It just oozes of personality and intimacy.

Rod and Sara decided backyard was the way to go and I was all in to document the shenanigans. To say that this wedding was an international affair would be a grave understatement. I think less than 10% of the guests were local. Most of them not only from out of state but from out of country. Rod’s from Panama and Sara’s local to Phoenix, but they both met in Sydney where they’d lived for a few years.

Through a communal effort between friends and family, they managed to pull together a beautiful backyard set up, complete with a dance floor under the festoons for all the wild late night boogying that you can expect at a backyard wedding..
