Dorian + Austin’s wedding day was a true representation of them as a couple in every single way. Each detail was so intentionally thought through and personalized — you can truly tell who they are based on every piece of their wedding day. The colors, the design, the florals, bubbles, their guests, literally every single little detail was excellent!!!

If you’re looking for a smaller venue in the Midwest, I’d strongly encourage checking out the MN Landscape Arboretum! There were so many nooks on the grounds of the arboretum — it was photo heaven! One fun spot of note in the indoor greenhouse area. We took a few of their couples portraits in here and it was soooooo gorgeous and added some easy variety to their gallery.

Madi + Jack: Colorful Iowa Wedding Day

Genevieve + Mitch’s wedding day was the perfect example of a timeless + personal day. Their wedding color scheme was simply different shades of blue, lots of floral prints, and there was an emphasis on sentimental details. Some of those details included the lace on Genevieve’s dress which came from her mother’s wedding dress, Mitch’s cufflinks which were gifted from Genevieve, and G’s veil made by her mom. And obviously, G’s reception dress made entirely from her mom’s wedding dress. So so so dang fun!
