TJ + Stephanie | Ashton Hill Farm Wedding | Iowa Wedding Photographer | Cedar Rapids, IA.
This stunning garden inspired wedding. The most full cascading bouquet. The bold yet romantic color palette. The men’s french blue suits. The deep purple, velvet head table with running garland, and a bloom infused garland chandelier hanging above. Stephanie and TJ had thee most stunning fresh floral (kuddos Shelly Sarver Designs) and decor choices that really just up-leveled the beauty of the day.
And can we just talk about my favorite thing they did for a second… centerpieces on the tables. Stephanie and TJ used real life trees everyone! These gorgeous, dusty green, Japanese Willows! Not only did these fit perfectly with their garden inspired style, and work as beautiful, grand centerpieces, but these are stunning items that will live on well beyond their wedding day. Stephan ie and TJ knew after the wedding they would plant these trees, watch them grow, and forever be able to look at them and be reminded of each other and their wedding day. They even gifted some of their trees to their family and friends for them to do the same! Best wedding decor investment award goes to these two!
TJ & Stephanie really thought of it all, but they also knew what really mattered was their love and commitment for each other. They had a beautiful ceremony, lead by Stephanie’s childhood friend, that was filled with personal touches. You can tell in their relationship that they not only build each other up, but encourage each other to be better and reach their goals. Making an unstoppable team and a beautiful marriage. I’m lucky to have photographed these beautiful couple, as well as call them my friends! Congratulations Stephanie + TJ!!!
