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!
I can’t begin to tell you how much this wedding day means to me. It was a story completely unique to itself, and an honor to capture through the ups and downs. From Sierra’s first look with her dad, to the “second kiss” she and Dalton shared just after being pronounced husband + wife, to the emotional toasts given by her sister and his brother… this day will forever remain close to my heart. Enjoy this boho barn wedding at Irishman Acres in Bondurant! <3

Audrey & Jordan knew they wanted to get married in 2020, so nothing (even a pandemic!) could stop their engagement in April. However, like every other couple this year, their wedding plans shifted. Instead of a Chicago wedding, they picked Audrey’s family’s farm near Iowa City as a venue. It was simple and stunning… see for yourself!

Whitney & Daniel snagged the most popular day of 2020 for their wedding… October 10! (Aka 10/10/2020!) They had a fabulous day planned but with Covid-19 changes, they decided to switch to a more intimate day, celebrating with family and close friends in Des Moines. Fall showed up in perfect form, and Whitney and Dan tied the knot under warm October sky. Enjoy some of my favorite photos from their backyard wedding day!
Clover Barn has been my dream wedding venue since Kim & her husband built it back in 2017. I even blogged about it when I visited in 2018! However, none of my brides chose it as a venue. It wasn’t until early 2020, when Kim’s younger daughter, Sierra, got engaged, did I even have a chance. And let me tell you… it was worth the wait. This wedding was INCREDIBLE, full of beautiful details, and even kinder people. So much love for this couple and day!

Oops… I’ve been working on blogging these wedding photos for a week now! Worth the wait, they sure are. Kirsten & Mike married outdoors on a cool, rainy Saturday in the woods of Michigan. These two met at Au Sable Institute, where they interned during a summer and fell in love with the land & each other. Mike proposed to Kirsten on a bench there just last summer, and they finally married on their dream wedding date (8.8.2020!) despite a pandemic and surprise rainstorms.
Megan and Evan’s wedding day remained a gorgeous celebration of love, despite the months of hectic re-planning due to Coronavirus. They kept their original date, and chose to marry outdoors in the gorgeous space of Rock Creek State Park in central Iowa— with just immediate family and a couple close friends to witness their nuptials.

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!
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!
