Josh and Teagan had such a gorgeous wedding day!! The getting ready portion began with Teagan and her bridesmaids getting ready at the home of her parents, and Josh getting ready with his bridal party at their home in Coralville.
I know I've said it before, but I truly love when couples allow enough time for styling details! I am in love with all of their detail photos!!
Teagan's mom helped her into her into her gown. Her ballgown from Hope's Bridal was absolutely perfect! So elegant!!
As her dress was zipped, Teagan absolutely lit up! She was radiating joy, such a beautiful bride!!
Each of her bridesmaids took turns helping her put on her finishing touches. This such a wonderful way to include the bridal party in getting ready images!
Did I mention her stunning dress had pockets?! Love it!
If you remember from their engagement session, Josh is a huge New York Rangers fan. Love his cuff links! What a perfect personal touch for his wedding fashion.
Josh and Teagan have two sweet kitties, who we were sure to include in the getting ready portraits!
Once everyone was dressed and ready, we headed to Cedar Ridge for the first look.
Their first look took place in one of the barrel rooms. The moment Josh turned around you could see the absolute joy in his and Teagan's faces. What a beautiful, emotional first look!!
The light in the barrel room was gorgeous! We took advantage of the opportunity for portraits there before heading back up to the winery.
Josh and Teagan are such a blast to work with! They are such naturals in front of the camera, easy to laugh and so much fun to work with!
Their bridal party was just as energetic and fun as Josh and Teagan! They had perhaps the most enthusiastic cheer during bridal party portraits that I've ever captured!
Before the wedding ceremony, Josh and Teagan signed their Ketubah, a traditional Jewish marriage contract. They had theirs custom made and it was not only a beautiful dedication of their lives to each other, but also an absolute work of art.
Their rabbi read the Ketubah out loud before the signing. It was a beautiful and emotional moment, not only for Josh and Teagan, but also for their parents.
Before heading out to prepare for the ceremony, we took advantage of the gorgeous light for a few family portraits.
Be sure to check back soon for the rest of Josh and Teagan's stunning wedding day!!
