Tom & Corrine Ames, Iowa

I must say a wedding has never felt more like home than this event!

Corrine, a Wisconsin native, met Tom, her groom, at Iowa State University. What was so special about this event, is Tom's family is from a small town in Iowa.

That small town happens to be the exact town I grew up in!

Unknown to me, the world just kept getting smaller and smaller during the planning season. And after all the introductions of families and friends, I have never felt more at home. Both Corrine's and Tom's families are some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of working alongside. It is truly a pleasure to share some of the images from their big day!

Erin & Shawn Fort Dodge, Iowa

When I received a call from Erin this past spring, I was immediately excited to start on her wedding. Erin was soft spoken, sweet, and super gentle. Her words were so appreciative. I could not have asked for a better bride. 

Erin grew up in my same hometown, so planning a wedding at "home" was a gift in itself. I am so grateful to share just a peek of what her day was like.

This event was proudly brought to you by all these amazing vendors! 

Thanks for letting us share in your special day Shawn & Erin! Congrats! 

I am so thankful for Mostly Becky! Planning a wedding gets stressful, and I can’t imagine having someone with experience to help with the process. Becky was so helpful every step of the way. So many people commented on how stress-free my wedding day was (everyone from the mother of the bride to the photographer). Even the best man acknowledged how organized and knowledgable Becky was throughout the rehearsal and wedding day. I give Becky and her staff full credit for making everything run smoothly and allowing me (the bride) to just enjoy the day! I recommend her to anyone who is in the wedding planning process!

Emily & Rob Des Moines, Iowa Wedding

There is something about a downtown wedding. No matter which city you happen to find yourself. Downtown has a charm of its own. 

I do love this event. I hope you love it too!

Emily & Rob were married in Des Moines, Iowa this September. They both lived out in Colorado prior to their move back to Iowa. And so of course we had tons to talk about immediately. Emily was one of the most organized, goal-minded brides I have ever had. She knew what she wanted, and got it done. I loved working with her!  Any wedding planner who gets the pleasure of working with a "kindred-spirit" does not take it for granted.  Her taste is exquisite and I am so exited to share some of the images from their beautiful wedding day.

Madelyn & Dane Urbandale, Iowa

It is always such a pleasure to reveal my beautiful couples to you all... and each and every one of them holds a special place in my heart. They are all so unique, and along the planning process I am so blessed to get to know them just a little bit.

This January, I had the absolute pleasure to plan Madelyn & Dane's wedding. And when I say absolute pleasure, it is entirely understated! The first time I met Madelyn & Dane they were just dating. Madelyn loves people and this radiates off of her and lightens up an entire room. And then Dane enters with this solid, genuine, security. His love for the Lord not only brings stability to a room. It almost calms you.

Now besides both of their genuine love for our Lord, they are two of the silliest - care-free persons I have ever met. I cannot begin to describe just how blessed I have been to be a glimse in their special day.

My heart is happy. And I just so excited to see where God takes them both. 

 

Blessings to you sweet couple.
