Backyard Wedding, Simi Valley
Some of the most beautiful weddings have taken place in the backyards. This Simi Valley house had such a large backyard, they should rent the place for weddings in Simi Valley area.
Photographer (me) was a surprise gift to the wedding couple. The bride and groom planned a thrifty wedding. They started out by borrowing a relative’s house in Simi Valley. But the parents provided them with the wedding vendors as surprise gifts.
I’ve been talking to the groom’s mother and brother for a few months about this wedding. I was told to show up at the wedding right before the wedding ceremony started (for a surprise effect). I had to insist that I would arrive at the wedding site way before the wedding ceremony so I would take pictures of the bride getting ready.
Everyone wore beach attire for the wedding. It was very hot in Simi Valley today. Only the wedding officiant and I were wearing suit and tie. I wear a suit during the ceremony only, so I am OK with a little bit of heat for a short time. I prefer to look formal for my customers. 
I thought I knew the wedding DJ from somewhere. We kept picking our brains to figure out where we met. Later I realized he was Mike Breul. We’ve been talking online for several years. But we’ve never met in person. DJ was good. There were a lot of dancing. I should email him before I forget.
This wedding was one of those “flawless” weddings. I didn’t see any accidents or dramas. Maybe it’s because the wedding couple expected a thrifty wedding at the beginning (?) I don’t know.
Also, there were a lot of dancing. You can usually tell how successful the wedding was by amount of dancing going on at the wedding reception. At some weddings I see not much people dancing at the expensive wedding site. But at this wedding at Simi Valley? there was a lot of dancing. This backyard wedding was a success.
