092918-056 After a quick ride in his car, Ben and Becka headed back to First United Methodist for their formal portraits together and with family. 

I love the rose window in this church!  It is simply stunning!! 092918-427 092918-435 092918-451 092918-471 092918-493 Once we'd finished with the formal portraits in the church, we braved the drizzle and headed to the Old Capitol.  Ben was able to get a permit to drive his car onto the pentacrest and I'm so glad he did! 092918-496 092918-501 092918-509 092918-511 Thankfully their bridal party was amazing and embraced the rain.  I love the fun shots of them on the steps of the Old Capitol! 092918-512 092918-524 092918-534 092918-546 When we arrived at the Coralville Marriott for their reception, we still had a some time for more portraits, so we quickly popped out back for a few.  The weather was completely in our favor and the rain stopped for a little while.  Though about a minute after we made our way back inside the skies opened up into a downpour.  Talk about perfect timing! 092918-549 092918-560 092918-562 092918-577 092918-583 092918-564 092918-594 I love it when we have time to get into the reception hall before guests enter.  It gives us time to capture all the details of the decor, untouched and just the way they're meant to be. 092918-601 092918-669 092918-589 Do you remember Becka's fantastic custom hangar?  Well, her talented brother also made her custom cake topper.  I love this so much!! 092918-681 092918-730 Their evening was filled with heartfelt toasts, laughter, and some tears of joy.  It was so beautiful to witness and to capture! 092918-734 092918-755 092918-759 092918-776 092918-779 092918-787 092918-797 Ben and Becka opened the dance floor with their first dance.  You can see the joy on their faces as the enjoyed the moment together. 092918-805 092918-807 092918-815 092918-825 092918-830 092918-840 092918-846 We had such an amazing time capturing Ben and Becka's gorgeous wedding day!  Congratulations to them both and we send our warmest wishes as they begin this new chapter in their journey together!  Ben and Becka, thank you so much for allowing us to capture your beautiful wedding!
