Vendor Spotlight | Geno Photography
This wedding from Geno Photography can only be described as absolutely gorgeous. From the bride's intricate hair and cascading bouquet, to the umbrella and rainbow shots [check out that last photo - breathtaking!]. And, we have to completely agree with Carrie about doing a 'first look' between the bride and groom before their ceremony!
From Carrie Geno -
"In the middle of June, I photographed Evan and Aleasha's wedding. It was a gorgeous day. We began at the Coralville Marriott where Aleasha and her bridesmaids were getting ready for the day. Once she was ready, she met Evan downstairs for their first look. I have said before and it is still true today, I love doing a first look between the bride and groom. I know tradition denotes that the bride and groom should not see each other before the wedding ceremony, but a first look is something so special. It allows the bride and groom time with just each other before the day is in full swing. They get the surprise of seeing each other for the first time in their wedding finest and gives them time to talk, share kisses, and just be with each other. This is something that is not replicated by seeing each other for the first time at the ceremony. At the ceremony, you have 100+ guests watching you and a ceremony to participate in. There is little room for the hugs and whispered words of live that a first look allows.
"But I digress, back to Aleasha's day. After their first look, we took a few moments around the Marriott before heading to their ceremony and reception, South Slope in North Liberty. Their ceremony was beautiful, facing the pond. After the ceremony, we finished our formal session of family and the bridal party. Just as we finished with the bridal party, the looming clouds began to let down their rain. Thankfully, the bride, groom, and everyone else was able to get inside before the downpour. Their reception was beautiful, filled with wonderful toasts, dancing, and the couple being surrounded by family and friends. After the special dances, we ventured to sneak a peak at the sunset and it was beyond perfect. To the east, a rainbow crossed the entire sky (the first I've seen at any wedding I've had the pleasure to photograph). To the west, the clouds were beautifully illuminated by the evening sun. I am so glad Evan and Aleasha were willing to brave the soggy ground for a few more photos before the sun set."
Congratulations to Evan and Aleasha!

Rain drops and weddings
As most of you know, a hint of rain can damper outside weddings. Most couples have to have a Plan B when they plan for an outside wedding, but many couples will tell you that they always pray for a silver lining in the clouds and a parting of the rain drops for their ceremony to continue as planned, just like it did for this couple in the video. Lance from Harding Videography captures the essence of one couple's "rainy" day perfectly. I love the shots of the couple with the train, rusty bus, and especially the bride's cowboy boots! The venue is Seven Oaks Recreation in Boone, IA, so the ski lift picture is priceless.
This couple is clearly in love and Lance captured it beautifully. I have to admit that his video gave me some "rain drops" of my own. Enjoy!

Umbrella Love
In lieu of all the rain that we have had of late, I thought it only fitting to celebrate it instead of wishing it away. There is an old wives' tale that says if it rains on your wedding day, you will be together forever. I really don't know if this holds true, but it sounds good.
Here are some pictures for "rain inspiration."
