Since Jakob is a talented wedding photographer - one half of the amazing photo duo Nordica Photography - his experiences at weddings from behind the lens gave him a pretty clear idea of what kind of celebration he wanted. Luckily, his lovely bride, Alexandra, had a similar idea of the perfect fête, so combining their ideas + making it happen was pretty much a cinch. When describing his idea of the perfect wedding, Jakob explained it would be, Outdoors, nothing too fancy, with the main idea of everyone having a good time.

And their beautiful day, captured by Nirav Patel Photography, turned out exactly that way and they couldn't have been happier!

All the perfect components of a laid-back, rustic celebration!

Jakob's reaction to seeing his bride is just the sweetest!

We're loving these gorge portraits Nirav captured of the newlyweds!

Seriously, this day looks like so much fun!
