September 17, 2022 will forever be etched in the memories of Maggie and Corey as the day they said their vows and celebrated their love in their favorite place on earth—Brooklyn, New York. Choosing a wedding venue that truly reflected their personalities, the couple exchanged their vows at Threes Brewing, which exuded a delightful backyard wedding vibe.
The Wedding Details and Spring Color Palette
Brooklyn, known for its vibrant energy and unique charm, provided the perfect backdrop for this special occasion. As a photographer, I couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque setting. The day was bathed in the colorful palette of spring, with the promise of summer lingering in the air.
Maggie, a vision of simple beauty, wore a handmade dress that perfectly encapsulated her classic yet unconventional style. Her bouquet added a touch of natural beauty to the occasion. This wedding was all about simplicity and authenticity—no frills, just pure love and sunshine.
The arch under which they exchanged their vows held a special significance. Corey’s father, having personally crafted it in pieces and transported it all the way from Pennsylvania, built it in front of our eyes for the wedding. This act of love and dedication added to the natural, homegrown feel of the ceremony—a truly heartwarming touch.
The Bridal Party and Pre-Ceremony Festivities
Before the ceremony began, I caught a candid moment that showcased the simplicity and love that permeated the day. Maggie and her bridesmaids indulged in french fries, savoring the carefree moments. In a moment of ketchup mishap, Maggie dropped a bit on her dress, but her girls quickly came to her rescue, helping to remove the mark and reminding her of her undeniable beauty. It was a testament to the bond of friendship and the support surrounding the couple on their special day.
The Ceremony
As the ceremony commenced, everyone stood, enveloped in the palpable love and emotion that filled the air. The intimate gathering of family and friends witnessed the couple’s personally written vows, solidifying their commitment to each other. After the exchange, the celebration continued with toasts, dancing, and laughter flowing freely in the cozy patio of the bar.
The Intimate Backyard Party Wedding Reception
Maggie and Corey’s wedding was a true backyard wedding party, a celebration of love that encapsulated the essence of what weddings are all about: bringing together the people you cherish most to revel in the joy of your union. The reception was a testament to the power of communal gathering, where friends and family mingled, laughed, and shared stories, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
