One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is working with families more than once. Last summer, I photographed James & Skylar’s wedding and this year, I was honored to be asked to shoot James’ sister Kelly’s wedding. I had met Kelly & Walt last year, of course, and then again earlier this year for their engagement session in Iowa City. One of the things I love most about them is their genuine hearts. They are kind people and I think their friends would agree they’d do anything for them, including but not limited to giving the shirts off their backs.

Their ceremony was held in Kelly’s parents’ backyard (on a perfect, no-rain day!) and their Celebration Farm wedding reception was absolutely stunning! Go ahead and scroll on down…you don’t want to miss this!

Kelly got ready at the house and her gown was absolutely perfect. I hear it took some magic customization from Dornick and it was stunning. The bouquet? Definitely one of my all-time favorites!
