The Cutest Iowa Vintage Vineyard Wedding!

You may remember seeing little snippets of Allison & Peter’s wedding or their engagement session already, but I just couldn’t resist putting together a bigger blog post. I swear, if I were to plan my wedding all over again, this is pretty much exactly what it would look like. We spent the majority of the day at the Sugar Grove Vineyard in Newton, IA, which is where their reception was held. Even though this is only the first wedding I’ve shot there, it is already WAY high on my list of favorite places to shoot! Gorgeous! We started the day finishing up with their preparations and quickly headed out to do Aly & Peter’s first look, where he surprised her with a personal letter and a pearl necklace. It took all we had to keep shooting and not tear up as she read the letter.

Next, we ventured through the property and found place after place after place to shoot. I think I did my happy shooting dance at least a dozen times that day!

After their beautiful ceremony we got some time with their bridal party too. They were all so much fun!

I’m normally not one to post jumping shot pictures… But, if your wedding party is dead set on risking life and limb to do a jumping shot on a hay bale, that sucker is getting posted on the blog! Thankfully, no one was injured for that shot!! 

Ok, seriously… Could this wedding be any more beautiful!?!?!?

A few more shots before the celebration begins…

Not much commentary necessary on my part for the party shots… this was a great celebration of a couple so OBVIOUSLY in love with a super fun group!

Another HUGE thank you to Janae Teclaw who helped me shoot this wedding. A few of her images are shown during their first look in this blog post along with the amazing close up shot of them in front of the green field that she shot while I was getting a wider angle. It’s always a pleasure having you along!
