Ted and Kate couldn’t have asked for a better day to get married in July! I don’t even know where to begin with these two, they had one of the coolest weddings we have ever had the pleasure to photograph. They meet at one of the bars Ted owns Heroes downtown here in Des Moines a few years ago and have been going strong ever-since! Thus they decided to do their first look where they first meet, what a great idea!

Their ceremony and reception took place downtown here in Des Moines at the Scottish Rite (GREAT place for a wedding if you need tons of space for many guests!) with a quick trip to Brecks bar downtown between.

These two you can tell love each other so incredibly much by all the smiles, tears and laughter. They also sure know how to throw one amazing party! For the record they do win for biggest bridal party we have ever shot in 5 years of shooting weddings too, ha!

We wish you two the best and we had a fantastic time capturing your wedding day!
