One of the fun aspects of our job is meeting new clients; talented, creative, fun, but above all professional.  We work very hard to find Premier Vendors to add to the WeddingsinIowa.com web site so that you can browse and choose vendors for your wedding with confidence.  One of our newest Preferred Members

is Tiny d-Lites and they will not  disappoint!  

Located in Iowa City, Iowa, they are the epitome of all things yummie!  They specialize in adorably decorated Cake Balls [and a lot more goodies], so if you have a chance to try one, take the tray and run!  These are seriously that good!

Wedding Photos | Geno Photography

A lovely first look, bright florals, fun paraols, and a few gorgeous silhouette shots - we love these wedding photos courtesy of Geno Photography!

From Carrie Geno of Geno Photography:

On October 20th, I headed to Dubuque to capture the wedding day of Tim & Jessica.  Their ceremony was held at the Bible College there.  The church was large and lovely.  The stained glass windows filled the sanctuary with beautiful natural light.  We began their day with their first look.  It was truly an emotional event for both the bride and groom.  Many happy tears were shed and many tissues were needed.  Beautiful.  

We then began our formal indoor session, which included bridal party and family photos.  After getting through the bulk of the posed shots, we headed outside the church.  Just across the street was a pair of adorable little trollies that made for some fun shots with the bride and groom, as well as the bridal party.  Just to the side of the church, there was a gorgeous oak tree that was simply glowing in the afternoon sun.  

After their ceremony, we headed down to the warehouse district for some more fun bridal party shots.  The girls brought out some fun and colorful parasols for the event.  The shots of them in front of the green doors are so bright and beautiful.  Then it was off to Eagle Park for their reception.

After dark, we headed back outside for a few more photos with Tim and Jessica.  I love the silhouette of them kissing at twilight.  Gorgeous.  It's so nice to work with couples who are willing to steal away from the reception for 5-10 minutes, while guests are eating or otherwise entertained, to take advantage of the gorgeous evening/twilight lighting for portraits.

Wedding Photography | Lance Shuey Photography

Your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions when planning your wedding - you have your dress, your shoes, your hair and makeup is done, you've planned the ceremony and the reception, your family and friends are all in one place at the same time ... everything comes together just right, and then your photographer steps in to capture it all.  And while everything is wonderful and glamourous, at the end of the day, you're married, and you want to be able to look back and remember all the perfect moments of you and your new spouse. 
Yesterday, we shared with you Shannon & Alex's engagement photos (in a lovely rustic barn!), and today we're so excited to share with you their wedding day.  Shannon & Alex chose Lance Shuey Photography for their photographer.  These two are so obviously happy and in love, it makes our hearts melt, and we couldn't be happier for them.  Congratulations to the beautiful couple!
