101919-001 Rain loomed in the forecast as we arrived at Rapid Creek Cidery in Iowa City for Josh and Jessica's wedding day.  My fingers were crossed their outdoor ceremony would be able to go on as planned.  101919-005 We began the morning with detail photos.  I love Jessica's shoes!!  Not only do they look comfy, they are blinged out and the "I Do" on the side is a perfect "something blue." 101919-020 Josh and Jessica got engaged on a family trip to Ireland.  It was only fitting to bring in some Irish to their wedding day.  The ropes and lace below were used during their ceremony for a hand-fasting.  They literally tied the knot! 101919-034 101919-039 101919-053 Their guest tables were each labeled in honor of a trip Josh and Jessica had taken together instead of numbered.  I love the map and airplane pins they used on their escort sign! 101919-055 101919-076 Each table card had a little write up about their trip to that location.  What a great way for guests to get to know them even better! 101919-082 101919-114 101919-119 101919-121 You could feel their excitement as they prepared for the wedding day.  Josh's suit had a subtle plaid that tied into the wedding colors, and he wore the hat he purchased while they were in Ireland. 101919-134 101919-137 101919-143 Also while in Ireland, Jessica purchased a special button her mother sewed into her wedding gown.  I adore all of their special, personalized touches!  They truly made their wedding their own and a special celebration of their love story! 101919-157 101919-169 The rainy weather didn't stop the day.  Their first look took place on the patio just outside the reception hall.  It was such a beautiful moment as they saw each other for the first time!  Pure joy!! 101919-178 101919-180 101919-195 101919-204 Fresh from the first look, we captured a few portraits of Josh and Jessica before they shared a special moment with her parents. 101919-221 101919-228 101919-233 101919-246 101919-256 They did a first look with her father and presented her parents with a beautiful book, celebrating their family and their journey. 101919-261 101919-272 101919-276 101919-307 While the rain drizzled outside, we popped back into the reception area for formal portraits with the bridal party and family.  I love the rustic wooden wall as a background!! 101919-294 101919-312 101919-333 101919-352 101919-372 101919-376 Be sure to check back soon for more from Josh and Jessica's wedding day!
