On an absolutely perfect fall day, we headed to Muscatine for Dan and Kassie's wedding day. We began our day with Dan and his guys as they got themselves ready.

I'm obsessed with Kassie's gown. How beautifully boho! It was perfect for their wedding day. Also, check out their stunning handmade backdrop. The ribbons flowed in the gentle breeze of the day. Simply lovely!

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!

Kassie got ready at their home in Muscatine, where the ceremony was to be held.

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.

Kassie and Dan chose not to see each other before their wedding ceremony. Escorted by her uncles, Kassie made her way gracefully down the aisle. Dan's reaction was simply beautiful. His tears of joy as he watched his bride walk towards him made for such a wonderful moment.

Instead of sand or a unity candle, Dan and Kassie planted a tree. Being a huge fan of plants, nature, and the environment, I absolutely adore this idea. Over the years they can watch the tree grow as their love grows.

After the ceremony, we completed the family formals. Have I mentioned how perfect their backyard is? Such a beautiful setting and even more so because it's their home.

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.

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.
