After meeting Brie and Joe on a Zoom call for their initial consultation, we couldn’t wait to photograph this wonderfully affectionate and genuine couple.
Marc and I first had the pleasure of meeting the Brie and Joe when they made the drive from West Liberty, IA to Schaumburg, IL for their engagement session.
We had such a great time photographing them on a perfect summer evening at scenic Busse Woods – we were even more looking forward to capturing their wedding day just a couple months later in Iowa.
When the wedding day arrived, Marc and I made the drive from to Iowa City on what just happened to be another beautiful summer day. The soon-to-be newlyweds were off to a perfect start!
While the groomsmen were getting ready, we met up with Brie, her bridesmaids, and parents in a rustic cottage. Brie looked absolutely stunning as her mother helped her into an intricately designed flowing gown.
Once Brie was completely done getting ready, she shared a first look with her father and brothers – a truly heartwarming scene seeing the affection of their expressions as they first laid eyes on the bride.
The next stop on this wedding day was the church that Brie had attended since she was a child. The church, which had rebuilt after it was destroyed by a tornado in 2006, contained a newly completed chapel.
This charmingly intimate chapel contained a relic from the original church and this wedding ceremony was to be the first since it had been finished.
Joe was truly glowing when Brie walked down the aisle – the perfect beginning to a joyous service.
The next destination on this beautiful day was one of our favorite Iowa wedding celebration venues, The Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque. As the guests began streaming for cocktail hour, we were able to capture many great photos of the bridal party on the grounds of the museum.
After dinner, the party began with a great dj and lots of dancing – the entertainment also included an impressive surprise live musical performance by Brie’s brothers.
We know many of years of happiness are ahead for you two. Congratulations and we hope you enjoy some of our favorite moments of the day.
