I truly adore when couples choose to say their I do&#8217;s in the privacy of a small, intimate backyard ceremony and celebration.  This couple from Palm Springs did just that and I think it deserves to be a two part blog post because I love it so much!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They  received their guests together, so we didn&#8217;t have to worry about the bride being seen.  This makes it that much more special, because then she is a part of these wonderful beginning moments of the couples entire celebration.  So often the bride is not included in this part of the coverage simply because she is &#8220;in hiding&#8221;.  While I love that tradition, there is something truly inclusive about being fully present for the entire event, beginning to end. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter
