What can I say, I love barefoot backyard weddings. I adore these types of affairs where close friends and family gather to celebrate two people starting their lives together. Cori & Julie’s wedding was just that and absolute perfection. Their wedding was held at their families ranch outside of Jeff City. They were married at sunset by the lake and passed the evening by under a twinkle light tent. What I loved most about this wedding was all the personal touches from the lace gloves, antique rings, teardrop tats, fire dancers, and those red maracas! This wedding day was laid back and enjoyed by all.

Their reception kicked off with fireworks and fire dancing! It was incredible and some of the coolest entertainment I have ever seen at a wedding. I felt like I was in Tahiti which was planned, as they almost eloped before planning their backyard wedding.
