Wedding Inspirations | Red, White and I Do

With the 4th of July being today, we thought we would put together some of our favorite Americana wedding inspirations. We love the simplicity of these celebrations and the subtle homage to the Land of the Free. Cheers, America!

Real Weddings | Maria and Michael

There are some couples that just steal your heart! This was our experience with working with Michael and Maria for their wedding on May 11th at the Cedar Ridge Winery in Swisher, Iowa.

Michael and Maria planned their celebration from New York, so you can imagine when the storms hit the East Coast, that their plans went into frenzy mode! Not one to panic, Maria kept on each task at hand and the outcome was an intimate, special, romantic day with close family and friends.

Their photographer, Razvan Photography, shared some pictures with us and of course, we are never one to keep a beauty like this to ourselves!
