Although Oahu has plenty of gorgeous wedding venues, having an intimate backyard ceremony can be just as incredible. One of the biggest benefits about having a backyard wedding is how much money it can save you! We all know the expense that comes with having a wedding nowadays, so when you’re picking and choosing a location for your big day, expense might be a big factor for you. Having a backyard wedding would absolutely save you a lot of money, while also creating the most intimate space for you and your guests.
If you’re leaning towards an intimate backyard wedding, consider how much more personal your day will be. Whether it’s a vacation rental or your family’s property, nothing says comfort more than waking up in a familiar bed, making your own breakfast in the kitchen, and walking to the backyard for your ceremony a few hours later.
As a wedding photographer in Oahu, I know a lot of people consider the weather conditions when planning, and rain can happen at any time here in the islands. Don’t let that stop you from enjoying your big day! Most rain here will stop quickly, and if it worries you a lot, consider a tent or canopy as extra insurance! You could even consider cute umbrellas like this one because a little rain never hurt on a romantic wedding day. Picture that movie scene in the rain. Having that feeling on your wedding day might actually let you relax that much more. Not everything is in your control, and that’s okay! Wanting things to go perfectly is a real feeling most couples have, and I get it. After a bit of rain that’s out of your control comes through, that deep breath you’ve been holding in might just be the relief you needed to enjoy the rest of your day! Don’t let rain stop you from having the best intimate backyard ceremony ever!
