Allison and Andy’s June wedding at the Saints Center in Stuart, Iowa was classy and full of color, and tied in their rural heritage perfectly. The day began with the girls getting ready at the 1894 by Doe a Deer – the cutest Airbnb and getting ready space!! Although it was down pouring outside, natural light spilled in through the large windows as everyone put the final touches on their hair and makeup. Allison slipped into her gown and it could not have been more beautiful on her! We took some bridal portraits before she shared a first look with her dad and later all of her best friends.
We arrived at the Saints Center so Allison and Andy could share a first look and their private vows. The rain had just cleared away and we were blessed with beautiful weather the rest of the day! After taking a bunch of photos around the Saints Center property, it was time to prepare for the ceremony, so we loaded up and headed to Greenfield. The ceremony took place in the church Allison grew up in – so special!
After the ceremony, the couple was ushered outside with a bubble exit and drove off in the family’s Lightning McQueen mustang! Our next stop was Allison’s family farm where we snapped some family portraits and “just married” photos out in the pasture.
Next up, it was time for the reception back and the Saints Center! Allison and Andy kicked off the party with their first dance, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever seen! They are skilled swing dancers and definitely wowed us all. The rest of the evening was amazing with lots of dancing and few more photos of the couple outside before the end of the night. Congratulations Allison and Andy!!!
