Mikaela & Sam

A Hyatt Coralville Summer Wedding

Weddings

There is a theory that throughout our lives we will only truly fall in love three times, at three different stages of life, each time serving three very different purposes.

Iowa City Mural Guide

Personal

Back in the summer of 2019, when Perrin was still tiny, we started a fun, informal mural hunt in downtown Iowa City. There were several murals at that time, but honestly, there are so many more now! So we put the remaining murals on our summer bucket list and earlier this week, we visited the […]
