Iowa City Outdoor Wedding

July 11, 2023

Rain has nothing on true love. ;) Payton & Cole planned a sweet & intimate wedding on her parents’ farm just outside of Iowa City for fall…and of course, that was the day it rained HARD in Eastern Iowa! Regardless, these two had a joyful ceremony with family members & a hoppin’ reception with multitudes of friends. Such a special wedding day!

Celebration Farm Wedding || Katie & Jackson

October 5, 2017

Katie and Jackson's wedding day was beautiful, from start to finish. These two had been waiting for well over a year to get married--and excitement was in the air! Katie and the ladies were up early, happily getting ready at the home she grew up in, before heading over to the Celebration Farm!

Jackson and Katie's first look was so sweet--they wrote letters to each other and read them. I loved that! If any of my other couples want to do that...count me in! Also, it was a bit muggy and hazy from the wildfires happening in the country--but the clouds covered up the sun during the ceremony--which was so perfect. It made the heat more bearable for guests, and not squinting possible for the bridal party!

There is more I could share, but I'm going to just share the photos and let you enjoy this beautiful day for yourself!

Mr + Mrs Rouse || Celebration Farm, Iowa City

August 30, 2015

“I haven’t seen her
For a month or so
Young love feels like finding buried gold”

— Ben Rector, Paris

Kyle and Bailie met in college. Over time, a friendship and then relationship was built. Even as Kyle switched universities (to the other side of the country!) to pursue pastoral ministry, and Bailie finished her degree and began working a few more states eastward, their relationship has stayed strong. This is not due to their own strength, bur rather, that their relationship was founded on Christ, His love, and His grace.

Kyle and Bailie had such a perfect wedding day! Not only was the weather wonderful for their outdoor wedding at The Celebration Farm, but joy was so evident in every moment & step along the way! From their time praying together before the ceremony (but no first look!) to the time of worship during the ceremony, from enjoying the yummiest Mediterranean food for dinner to dancing the night away with dear friends and family, this day was 100% them & absolutely glorious to behold.
