061320-012 The day could not have been more beautiful for Elijah and Rachael's wedding day at First United Methodist in Iowa City.  061320-018 061320-032 With the restrictions Covid has brought to the world, Elijah and Rachael's wedding was my first in 2020.  I was so excited to be back to doing what I love and capture their big day; masks, social distancing, and all.  061320-043 061320-060 The Covid restrictions definitely changed Elijah and Rachael's wedding plans.  Their guest list was pared down to bridal party and family.  They decided to postpone their reception until they are able to celebrate with everyone they love, as originally planned.  But they chose to move forward with their original wedding date and celebrate with an intimate ceremony. 061320-064 061320-067 061320-093 061320-099 061320-106 061320-117 061320-119 061320-129 061320-144 061320-167 061320-177 Elijah and Rachael chose not to share a first look, doing all of their pre-ceremony portraits separately.  Saving the moment they see each other until Rachael walked down the aisle on her father's arm.  061320-195 061320-201 061320-208 061320-215 061320-232 061320-238 061320-246 061320-267 Their ceremony was live streamed to friends and family who were unable to attend.  061320-285 061320-295 061320-302 061320-314 061320-324 061320-347 061320-359 061320-361 061320-380 061320-383 When we were finished at the church, we headed to the pentacrest for more portraits ultimately ending up a the steps of Shaeffer Hall. 061320-406 061320-410 061320-435 061320-442 061320-443 061320-445 061320-451 061320-455 061320-459 061320-477 After portraits, Elijah and Rachael headed off with their guests for an intimate dinner to celebrate their marriage. 061320-478 It was such a joy capturing Elijah and Rachael's beautiful wedding day!  Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs!!  Best wishes to you both and I look forward to seeing you again at your reception!!  Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your gorgeous day!  It was an honor!
