The Monday before Peter and Kimberly's big day, the Iowa governor announced restrictions on gatherings due to the rising Covid numbers. Covid had already impacted their wedding plans, moving their date from June to November. Rather than reschedule, Peter and Kimberly kept their in-person guest list to immediate family, while their friends and extended family were able to join in via Zoom for their ceremony.
They could not have asked for a more perfect day. The weather was lovely and that late afternoon light during their ceremony was dreamy!
While there may have been fewer people than originally planned, this beautiful couple was surrounded by so much love!!
Peter and Kimberly chose to write their own vows. I love this added personal touch to weddings! Their vows were filled with heartfelt love and some humor. Such a beautiful thing to offer each other!
A few of their local Iowa City friends came to see them!
Of course Mainer and Bella were part of the formal portraits after the ceremony! Oh my word!! These two are so adorable and you can absolutely tell how much they are adored by Peter and Kimberly!
Did I mention how amazing the day was?! It was such a joy working both of their families!
I absolutely love these fun portraits of Kimberly with her brother!!!
This ring has special significance to Kimberly, it belonged to her cousin who passed and has been work at many family and friends' weddings to honor her. So beautiful!!
The toasts given throughout the evening were wonderful! So much laughter and joy in celebrating Peter and Kimberly!!
As a special surprise, Peter's sister and Kimberly's brother worked together to create an amazing video of friends and family who could not attend sharing their well-wishes and congratulations for their couple.
It definitely sparked a few tears of joy and many laughs! It was a beautiful tribute to Peter and Kimberly!!
Don't let the size of the crows fool you, this was a group of great and enthusiastic dancers!! What an amazing celebration!
We snuck out for a few minutes for some after dark portraits at the arches. So beautiful!!
A huge congratulations and thank you to Peter and Kimberly!! It was such an honor to capture your gorgeous day and witness the celebration of you love!!
