After postponing their wedding twice due to Covid, Maddie and Brian decided to have an intimate celebration with only their closest friends and family at the American Visionary Art Museum Sculpture Garden. Their celebration was a fantastic reflection of who they are, and I had such a lovely morning celebrating with them.

Maddie & Brian’s Sculpture Garden Micro Wedding

Maddie and Brian’s wedding was a short and sweet celebration of their love. These two are both very soft-spoken, kind people, and their intimate celebration felt like the perfect way to highlight that. Their friends and family were incredibly involved in the wedding, from Maddie’s aunt who officiated, to their friend Lydia at Little Fields Floral who made Maddie’s bouquet. Their wedding felt like not only a joining of two people but a coming together of an entire community.

As I’ve said previously, the American Visionary Art Museum is one of my favorite wedding venues in the city. Not only is it a fun, quirky space, but it’s also a non-profit that prioritizes inclusivity and creativity — a factor that was very important to Maddie and Brian. That being said, the Sculpture Garden is usually a space reserved for portraits, but thanks to Maddie and Brian’s low guest count was the main venue! The awning provided the perfect respite from the sun, and guests of all ages had fun exploring and appreciating the art throughout the space.

I’m so grateful to have witnessed this sweet wedding and I hope it serves as a reminder that breaking away from wedding tradition can help you create a celebration that accurately reflects your love!
