Wedding – Diana Hogan Photography

Are you considering having an intimate backyard wedding? Just the thought can be overwhelming, but don’t fear my friend! Those can be incredibly beautiful if planned right. Here are 5 things to consider if you want to enjoy your wedding day worry-free:

Let your neighbors know! Check local city guidelines to avoid noise complaints.
Plan parking spaces ahead. Have a family member guide guests where to park.
Consider hiring a day-of event coordinator and a party rental company to decorate your space. Miami Party Rentals and Decor is a great one!
Have a back up plan for weather. We know, it’s South Florida and the weather is likely to change without notice. Tents are a great option to keep everyone comfortable.
Upgrade to an upscale portable toilet trailer that provides a more elegant experience than traditional port-o-potties.

I’m always happy to help you choose where to set up your ceremony space considering what will be the best lighting for portraits. Remember, you’re not alone! Enlist the help of those close to you to assist with all preparations. And most importability, after all the planning, remember to have fun and enjoy your wedding day along with your closest family and friends.

And to get your inspiration going, I leave you with a gallery from Dayrelis and Xavier’s intimate backyard wedding ceremony in Miami, FL.

Wishing you happy planning,

Diana

These lovebirds got married on the beach right before Ariel’s deployment. About a year later, they were celebrating their union with family and friends in Delray Beach. Ariel looked absolutely stunning, a real life princess. And Dominic, handsome as ever.

They created the most perfect intimate wedding reception, with all decorations crafted around a garden wedding theme. Dominic’s grandma painted small canvases to give as favors, talk about personalizing your wedding details! One of my favorite moments of the night was when Dominic’s younger brother came out dressed as a bear, a direct reference to the couple’s term of endearment. It was not only hilarious, but also a sweet moment for the entire family.

Ariel and Dominic, thank you for letting capture your love and celebration. Wishing you a BEARy happy marriage,

Diana
