Although Dave (Dave Burns Photo Tours) and Meredith were married in 2014, their wedding is a strikingly relevant model of a wedding for our current times. They started with a 9-person winter microwedding at Cambridge City Hall followed by dinner. Then, in the summer, they threw a big tented backyard wedding on the North Fork in Long Island for 100+ family and friends.

Dave & Meredith chose to get married for pragmatic reasons, but that didn't stop them from being thoughtful, intentional, and downright creative with the festivities to celebrate the occasion. And they retell it all with humor and charm.

Some of the highlights include:

• The merits of a big vs. a small celebration (and how to have the best of both).
• Why photography is such an important part of the day. (This was totally unprompted, I swear!)
• The logistics (and benefits) of planning a wedding at a private backyard venue.
• A slew of awesome Long Island wedding vendor recommendations
