Emily + Connor [Iowa City, IA Celebration Farm Wedding Photography]

First, let me preface this post by saying I think this might be the largest wedding post I've ever done, so my apologies for the vast amount of photos. It was such a beautiful day, with a wonderful couple, that it was impossible to narrow it down for the blog.

Emily and Connor were married at Celebration Farm, on what turned out to be a gorgeous May 25th. The outdoor ceremony was one of the most touching and fun I've seen, Emily and Connor brought so much of themselves into every detail and I may or may not have teared up a few times. ;) This wedding was full of gorgeous details and flowers (by the incomparable Julie at Julie's Fountain of Flowers), a beautiful couple, and a super fun bridal party. Emily & Connor's wedding was definitely one of THE parties of the year, and the dance floor was packed until the very end thanks to Travis at Unique Events! The entire day was coordinated by Jaclyn Kretzschmar and went flawlessly from start to finish.

Emily and Connor - thank you so much for not only choosing us to photograph your day, but for welcoming us like friends. You guys are the best, and your wedding was both stunning and fun. It was a pleasure to document it, I hope you love the sneak peek!
