Kari and Leif are the kind of people that make everyone feel at home. They are always so welcoming with smiles and big hugs. Its not too surprising that they chose to have their wedding right in their backyard with all of their closest friends and family. I love a good backyard wedding. Seriously, they’re my favorite.

The wedding ceremony was short, sweet and right to the point. I clocked it at 4 minutes 17 seconds exactly! They don’t mess around. The reception was full of home cooked food and lots of fun. The kids especially loved the hammock and the limbo!!

And love that they had the fire engine pulled in from Leif’s station for a huge group photo with all of his coworkers (aka family). You might remember the fun we had at their engagement session? Check out that awesome group picture down below.

Congratulations Leif and Kari – I’m so happy for you both!

And thank you Emily for being my delightful second shooter!
