: : HANNAH AND JACKSON : : ORANGE CITY, IA & LEMARS, IA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Putting into words how special Hannah and Jackson's wedding was, would have been impossible.  Hannah and I had never met so I was curious as to the connection we would have.  She greeted me first with a hug and from that moment I knew it was going to be a great day.  The day was filled with love.  Not just love from Jackson and Hannah but everyone who was a part of their day.  I felt loved and I felt blessed to have been a part of the day.  From start to finish I enjoyed every moment and had a huge smile on my face. 

If it is possible for a bride to get even more beautiful throughout the night then Hannah did.  She was glowing from all of the love her family and friends showed her and Jackson.  The evening rolled on with poetry, songs and words of love. It was incredible.  I feel blessed to have been a part of it. 

Even being that this wedding was a few weeks ago I still got goose bumps and teary-eyed reliving the day through photos! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day!  <3
