I was in love with some many things in this  Des Moines, Iowa wedding…. a pastel mint and peach color palette, with stunning coordinating mint and peach bouquets, a succulent hair piece, a Maggie Sottero flowing wedding dress, amazing outdoor views with the ceremony overlooking the Des Moines River at the Simon Estes Amphitheater, with oversized, sparkling gold urns filled overflowing floral arrangements that framed the alter area….
But one thing that really touched me was the couple! Hannah and John were so down to earth, sweet, and fun! However, when these two were planning their wedding, they realized they were going to be planning for one more event as well! They were expecting their first child! They didn’t miss a beat, decided to keep the same wedding date, with the same plan for the day, Hannah just got the added bonus of getting to go wedding dress shopping again to get a new dress since she would be sporting the most adorable baby bump! And this glowing mama-to-be + bride did not miss a beat!! She had the most amazing attiutide all throughout the day, even when it rained on us! (twice!) I just found it so beautiful that all throughout the day I was shooting pictures of Hannah & John + baby to be. I hope these are images that the three of them can cherish for years and years to come! It seriously was my honor to be apart of your extra special wedding day, Hannah and John. Thank you so so much for sharing it with me. Can’t wait to see your family’s new addition!! xoxo
