I’ve been pretty stoked about this wedding for awhile now! East Village in downtown Des Moines is just my favorite. Tanner and I even lived here for a few years, so it holds a special place for us. It’s just the perfect spot for unique weddings!

It’s always great too working with wedding planners, especially planners that are also wonderful florist and expert decorators! Maya Bottecher with Plum Event + Design just rocks. See below for proof, look at all these gorgeous florals and vintage decorations below! Sarah & Maya the reception details just blew my mind, so perfect and beautiful!

Thanks so much for letting us photograph your day Sarah & Aaron, your little guy is adorable and your wedding day was just out of the park amazing. Especially all the great details! (Can you tell I was overly excited about all the awesome!) Especially the beautiful dove release post ceremony and cutting your cake with a sword, I mean how cool is that?!

Congrats you two and hope you enjoyed your honeymoon in Hawaii!
