The Rondo’s backyard wedding can be described in three words: Intimate, Cozy & R E L A X E D .

Weddings are hectic no matter how much you plan ahead, but this bride and groom, their family and guests were all so relaxed, easy-going and excited to celebrate love. The details were all taken care of, but it was so clear that everyone agreed the details weren’t REALLY that important. It’s funny that the details usually come together perfectly when the bride and groom aren’t too tense about them, isn’t it? The love, the joy, the people; Those were the things that were focused on and celebrated on that crisp November day..

Actually, I take that back.

There was one detail the groom was very, very excited about. A hand-made, ceremonial Viking sword and axe. You’ll see it featured below in some pretty cool shots with the rings! Not to mention, when a cake cutting knife was not readily available, Chris was beyond thrilled to cut the wedding cake with his sword. For. Real. These are my people. A sense of humor and a willingness to let your groom cut the wedding cake with a sword.. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about, Ang’ ! #idealbride, haha..

Congratulations Christopher & Angela Rondo! It was a privilege to be welcomed into one of the most special days of your lives, and to capture the start of your life as Mr. and Mrs. Rondo.
