Glen Oaks Country Club // Erin + Andrew

Two souls, bound by time and love- married in late spring on a perfectly wonderful afternoon. Surrounded by family and friends, they laughed, wiped away happy tears, and danced far into the night. See more of Erin and Andrew’s vibrant Glen Oaks wedding on the blog!

Rosedale Park Event Center Spring Wedding // Emily + Kyle

An april fool’s wedding date means incorporating lots of jokes & fun moments… and Emily & Kyle did just that! From a prank first look, to Darth Vader’s theme during the processional and even getting Rick Rolled on the dance floor, this day had it all.

1868 Farmhouse Spring Wedding

This wedding brought me SO much joy! From the heartfelt toasts by family, the friends celebrating the couple on the dance floor, and the warm hospitality extended by the couple and wedding party… I couldn’t have asked for a better day to celebrate with Grace and Theo at the 1868 Farmhouse in Boone!!

Kora + Matt // Sugar Grove Vineyards Spring Wedding

The sweetest day— as any Iowan knows, March can be the most turbulent of months. Yet, the grace of God shone (as well as the sun!) and we had a beautiful Saturday for this sweet couple to celebrate their marriage with friends and family from around the country!

Des Moines Botanical Gardens Wedding // David and Olivia

This day was full of sweet moments & joyful celebration after being postponed from May 2020. David and Olivia have walked through a lot of life adjustments in the past year, but I’m sure they’d say one of the best was getting married! I’m so glad we were still able to celebrate with family & friends in the luscious DSM Botanical Gardens!

Izaak Walton League Des Moines Wedding // Noelle + Cody

This wedding day is as sweet as the almond cake I snuck at the reception! ;) Cody and Noelle’s covid-altered wedding absolutely made the month of May such a joy! They married in an intimate ceremony at St Joseph’s church, with a reception at Izaak Walton in Des Moines. Click through to see photos of this wonderful wedding day!

St Ambrose Des Moines Wedding

Mary Beth and Dan planned their dream wedding day for the last Friday in April. We chatted on the phone in November, and again in person in March. What none of us knew was that a global pandemic would radically change their wedding day plans… but never, ever, their marriage plans. ;) Instead of a large wedding ceremony at St Ambrose with a reception full of friends at the Tea Room, these two held an intimate ceremony. But, even their closest friends couldn’t be stopped from cheering outside the church. Click through to see more of this sweet spring wedding in downtown Des Moines!

Watching one of your best friends walk through a whirlwind romance almost feels like watching a play unfold. You don’t know where the story is going, there are great laughs, little “bloops”, tears shed and although you have a feeling that the new guy introduced is going to be the one who she says yes to… it’s all unseen until it happens.

Not only is Elizabeth one of the most naturally gorgeous women I know, but her interior beauty shines more than her physical! She actually modeled for my in my fledging photographer days, at least once, maybe more. I had some silly ideas, but she put up with them in typical Liz style— encouraging, laughing, and having fun! We also shared some memories detasseling, if I recall correctly. Good ol’ Iowa summers!

Jillian + Anthony // Coal Valley Wedding

Jillian and Anthony met in college, but they didn't feel immediate sparks. However, after months together on the road for a traveling class, their friendship slowly grew into more. They bought matching bear hats together (you'll see them later!) and share a love for the outdoors, family, and simplicity. All of that was evident in this gorgeous outdoor spring wedding at Oakwood Country Club in Coal Valley, Illinois!
