When I think of this wedding, the word ‘joy’ comes to mind. The whole day everyone seemed so happy. When we were just a tad behind schedule, everyone was happy. Taylor hurt his leg and needed some stitches, (his dad ended up super gluing it shut for the time being) he smiled through it all. You’d never know he had an injury!

With spring and Iowa combined, you never know what you’re going to get weather wise. The morning of their wedding, it was cool and rainy. But doing what Iowa does best, the weather did a 180 on us and by the time portraits arrived the sun was in full bloom! And so were the muddy puddles..
