This beautiful backyard wedding in Scio, NY was the perfect showcase of small-town charm and heartfelt celebration. As a Scio, NY wedding photographer, I was instantly inspired by the rolling hills, rustic countryside views, and the intimate setting the couple created right in their own backyard. The ceremony took place beneath a canopy of trees, with family and friends gathered close, surrounded by the soft summer breeze and golden light. Every detail—from the handcrafted décor to the twinkle lights strung above the reception tables—reflected the couple’s personal style and deep connection to their roots in Western New York. Capturing these candid moments, from tearful vows to joyful dancing under the stars, was a reminder that the most memorable weddings are the ones filled with genuine love, laughter, and the beauty of home.
