The ceremony took place at St. Jude Catholic Church in Cedar Rapids, with the reception following at the Marriott (also in Cedar Rapids). Katie and Luke chose the Morgan Creek Park Arboretum as their third location, which was a beautiful spot for some photos (love the wildflowers and all of the greenery!!). I loved the colors Katie chose, wines and pinks for the ladies, coordinated classic tuxes for the men. Everything was classic, and elegant...just perfect. I think it's pretty evident looking at the photos from their day, but Katie and Luke are not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside too. Their friends and family were so incredibly gracious and kind the entire day, and it was sad to say good bye at the end of the night!
Katie and Luke - Congratulations again!! I hope each day is as wonderful as your wedding day, you two deserve nothing less!! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your day, and I hope you like this sneak peek. :)

Often, I encourage my brides to have a mini "first look" with their dads as well, it's such a sweet moment for a father and daughter!

Katie and her dad planned a really fun father/daughter dance as a surprise (only her mom knew about it) and the crowd went crazy! They started out slow dancing, and then the music switched into a medley of music through the years.
Luke, Katie's brother, and Luke's moms' reactions were priceless!
