Adam & Jen: Married!

Congratulations Adam and Jen! They got married last Saturday at Lutheran Church of Hope, and it was the most perfect day for a November wedding! It was an unusual day, as the events not only ran on time, but things ran ahead of schedule…very rare for a wedding! It was a joy to be a part of their day and get to know them even more. I’ve posted a couple photos from each event of the day to give you a glimpse of the celebration. Enjoy!

To begin, can you tell Jen liked the look of her hair?! Her hairstylist at Salon Seven-O in West Des Moines did a beautiful job!

I love the gorgeous simplicity of Jen’s dress!

Adam and Jen chose to see each other before the ceremony (something I encourage the brides & grooms I work with to do), and I arranged their “first look” to happen in this neat courtyard at the church. I love the sweet anticipation on both of their faces!

They were in for a really funny surprise…we didn’t realize that they had an entire audience watching their first look! To the left of this photo, the wall is all windows, and inside the windows was a large group of women having a bridal shower! So when saw each other, there was a whole bunch of clapping and cheering going on in there! To make it even better, Jen knew a few of the women!

Jen is so expressive! I’m so glad I was able to catch this moment of excitement as they left the church as Mr. and Mrs. Hart!

Rather than serving typical wedding cake, they chose to have cupcakes. Love it! Don’t they look delicious?!

It’s not too late…

to order your family Christmas cards! They only take a few days to get printed, and they are a fantastic way to wish friends and family a Merry Christmas, as well as update them on the things going on in your life! My talented graphic designer does a fabulous job creating these Christmas cards, and she personalizes them so no two look the same!
