Down the Aisle: Lisa + Jeremy

What a day! Beginning with a torrential downpour, and ending with sunshine... Lisa & Jeremy got it all. Even more impressive than mother nature's theatrical display, was Lisa & Jeremy's calmness. I mean, they must've been stressed, but you'd never know it by looking at them! With hearts set on an outdoor ceremony and rain confirmed in the forecast, they arranged for an incredible tent palace with only a day's notice... and pulled off the entire day without a hitch. It was, in short, perfection. :) Ceremony/Reception: Jasper Winery (Des Moines, IA) Decor/Flowers: the Perfect Wedding (Des Moines, IA) Crafty Gorgeousness: None other than the new Mrs. Braden herself! Go Lisa!

I'm so in love with all of these images... I'm just going to put that out here now. Rainy wedding days often make brides nervous.... but it's  not the rain that's the challenge so much.... it's convincing everyone else that it's going to be OK that can be tough sometimes. But, with Lisa & Jeremy's super stellar attitudes... my job was a breeze!

Super bonus points to the whole wedding party for heading out into this field... and braving the *insane* mosquitoes for this shot... hats off to you all!

Magical tent set up!

My heart beams with joy for you both...
