Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies

Eric Maziarz for Carla Ten Eyck

2012 was the season of outdoor wedding ceremonies. Open fields, waterfronts and romantic gardens created gorgeous backdrops for many of my brides and grooms. Here are some of my favorites from the season…

A Backyard wedding in West Harford featured a stained wooden arch covered in romantic mid June seasonal blooms: Peonies, Roses and Hydrangea with Eucalyptus leaves.
