Hi, I'm Emily.

Words cannot describe the amount of detail and design that went into this reception. Truly, words can’t describe it which is why, luckily, I have photos. 🙂

You’ve already seen Drew and Keri’s beautiful ceremony, now it’s time to show you their lavish reception. It was held at Sister’s Garden & Bloom, which is a fabulous upscale antique store near between Kalona and Iowa City that houses eclectic, unique furniture, accessories, and everything else you can imagine. Someday, just visit them because I said so. In the meantime, eat your heart out on the beautiful design of the reception. (Many thanks go to Drew and Keri’s families, who put this together! Drew’s mom is one of the owners of Sister’s and so it was no surprise at all how amazing it turned out!)

Keri and her two sisters, Kristi and Kalen, wanted some photos together so I snagged them away for a little bit. They are all gorgeous so you can imagine how that went.

We spotted their dad on our way back to the tent and grabbed one with him. As I took this picture, I said, “You must be so proud your daughters.” His eyes lit up and he said, “I sure am.”

Since we had carved out some time for Drew and Keri to take photos together during the reception, Keri pulled her new husband away for a few minutes and we circled around the grounds, capturing so many fun memories.

The rest of the photos are in the following album. Just click on a photo to enlarge it and toggle through using the arrows. Pay attention. See how even the littlest things are perfect? Case in point, the breath mints that matched the theme. One, two, three, go.

Keri and Drew, I wish I could write a book to tell you how honored I was to be part of your day. Instead, I’ll simply say this, I love you guys. God bless.
