Iowa Fall Wedding | David + Michkayla
I had the great joy of capturing David + Michkayla’s Iowa Fall Wedding. The entire wedding day was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Weddings are exciting, gorgeous, and romantic events. However, they typically come packaged with stress, especially in recent times. The pandemic has had a major impact on weddings and events in general, all of which add to the stress of planning a wedding. Normal wedding stressors are the weather, choosing the colors and centerpieces, finalizing the guest list and seating arrangements. Add covid into the mix of planning a guest list and travel and it can be a lot!
However, when you work with couples like David + Michkayla, they make everything, including my job easy! They were an amazing couple to work with and were extremely understanding and relaxed throughout the entire wedding planning process, which took place during the peak of Covid here in Iowa. They took it all in stride and were determined to not let anything stop them from having the wedding day of their dreams!
They tied the knot on an abnormally hot fall day. We had phenomenal outdoor lighting thanks to the incredible rays of sunlight and a truly magnificent sunset. The sunlight reflecting off the leaves changing colors behind them created a magical backdrop for their wedding day photos. The bride’s long dress trailing behind and veil floating in the wind were an added bonus.
The beautiful bride, Michkayla chose a lovely hue of purple for her bridesmaids dresses. The groomsmens gray suits complemented the dreamy lilac color wonderfully! I love that they did a blindfolded first touch and that their blindfolds matched the purple and gray wedding colors.
I love capturing the little details added to weddings that tell a couple's story, or highlights their interests or personality. David + Michkayla had a Harry Potter wedding cake that I am in love with. (Total Harry Potter nerd right here!) David’s wedding band featured a nod to Star Wars as well. Weddings are meant to be a reflection of you both as a couple as you start your life together as husband and wife. David + Michkayla’s Iowa Fall Wedding was a dream. Congratulations! Thank you for letting me be part of your big day!! Enjoy my favorite moments from their amazing fall wedding day.
