SIDNEY BACKYARD WEDDING

A backyard ceremony in Sidney, dinner and dancing at Small Gods Brewery, dogs underfoot, and ABBA before the night was over. This day was small in guest count and full everywhere else.

We kept portraits simple and close to the rhythm of the day, leaving room for family, speeches, and the moments that happen when nearly everyone in the room knows one another well. The gallery carries that closeness all the way through.

I FALL IN LOVE WITH EVERY WEDDING I PHOTOGRAPH.

I hope yours is next.

Tell me about the venue you fell in love with, the people at the heart of the day, and the moments you are already imagining. I would love to hear all of it.

LOVE NOTES

Akzhana made us feel at ease in front of the camera right away and gave us the guidance we needed without making anything feel regimented. We could focus on each other, get caught up in the moment, and have fun.
Our photographs truly represent us. The whole experience felt more like a date night than a photo shoot.

S&A

[Akzhana] was absolutely the perfect presence on the day, directing us when needed while still capturing all of our special candid moments. Our photos look like we're straight out of a fairytale, which is exactly how the day felt.

T&L

Akzhana is fantastic and was a huge help in making my proposal a perfect occasion. She gave ideas for where to do the proposal, sent maps of the areas with good proposal spots circled, and even sent example photos of each of the locations. The plan went perfectly and the pictures we got afterwards were amazing. I can't recommend her enough.
