Amanda + Chris [Iowa City, IA Celebration Farm Wedding Photography]

Amanda and Chris were married on Saturday, June 21st at the Celebration Farm, with the ceremony in the amphitheater, cocktail hour in the Timber Frame, and reception in the Double Round. These two are not only stunning, but also sincere, thoughtful, and so very kind. It was a pleasure and an honor to photograph their wedding day, which included some of the area's best vendors (see list below!) and tons of beautiful details.

The amphitheater was lined with gorgeous flowers, and included vintage doors which opened to reveal Amanda waiting at the top of the stairs to join her groom at the altar. Their cocktail hour and reception included personal touches such as a Sweet Tea + Lemonade stand to honor their Southern home of Atlanta, and the KoHawk mascot making an appearance at the reception to honor Chris' history as a Coe College basketball player.

Amanda and Chris - you two are such genuine, beautiful people and we were honored to be a part of your day. We wish you nothing but the best, and hope you always feel the happiness you felt on your wedding day.
