wedding day.  We began our day with Dan and his guys as they got themselves ready.

their wedding day.  Also, check out their stunning handmade backdrop.  The ribbons flowed in the gentle breeze of the day.  Simply lovely!

muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0011muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0011  I also adore Kassie's wedding band set.  The halo around her diamond on her engagement ring is the thing of vintage inspired dreams.  It paired perfectly with her sweet band of diamonds.  Perfection!

held.    muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0016muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0016  How beautiful is their backyard space?  It was a perfect backdrop for their day.  Also, I am loving the overlay on the gowns and the flowers are perfection.  I love the sophisticated gathered wildflower look of the arrangements.  Absolutely stunning and paired beautifully with the boho vibe.  muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0017muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0017

Have I mentioned how perfect their backyard is?  Such a beautiful setting and even more so because it's their home.  muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0058muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0058 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0059muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0059 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0060muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0060 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0061muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0061 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0062muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0062 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0063muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0063 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0064muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0064 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0065muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0065  Their ringbearer was pretty well done with photos by the end if you couldn't tell.  As much as this is not the perfect photo of them, it kind of is.  I am certain that this photo made them all smile later, and may or may not be brought up again and again in the future for this young man. Honestly, I love kids at weddings.  They are always wildcards.  muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0066muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0066 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0067muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0067 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0068muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0068 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0069muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0069 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0070muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0070 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0071muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0071 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0072muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0072 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0073muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0073 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0074muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0074 Their reception was held at the Overlook Ballroom in downtown Muscatine.  It was a beautiful location!  muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0075muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0075 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0076muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0076  We stole away for a few minutes before they were announced into the reception for a few portraits near the venue.  Just months before, we stood in this same location for their engagement portraits. It was beautiful in the glowy light of golden hour.  muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0077muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0077 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0078muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0078 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0079muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0079 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0080muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0080 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0081muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0081 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0082muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0082 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0083muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0083 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0084muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0084 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0085muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0085 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0086muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0086  Dan's brother served as best man for the wedding and offered a heartfelt toast to the couple.  Kassie's best friend and maid of honor, shared about how much she adores Dan and Kassie and what a wonderful pair they make.  muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0087muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0087 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0088muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0088 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0089muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0089   muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0090muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0090 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0091muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0091 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0092muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0092 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0093muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0093 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0094muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0094  Following their first dance, Dan and Kassie called their children to the dance floor.    muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0095muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0095 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0096muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0096 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0097muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0097 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0098muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0098 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0099muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0099 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0100muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0100 muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0101muscatine-wedding-photographer-iowa-wedding-photography_0101 What an absolutely fantastic day.  Seriously, Dan and Kassie's wedding was a dream from start to finish.
