joyce and nick, where do i begin! first off, this wedding was on the hottest day of the year. no question. it was pushing 109 with the heat index. hard to remember those days considering it is all of 46 right now. oh iowa. the fact that the trolly they rented didn’t have any air conditioning (how convenient) didn’t make things much better. that said, Joyce made 109 degrees look fun, beautiful and downright amazing. despite the heat we still had a lot of fun, a stop at the hessen haus was a great decision, after all what else can cool down a wedding party like a few cold boots of beer!?
joyce and nick also have amazing families. Everyone from the parents to the wedding party to the guests were so kind and friendly. I had such a joyous time at their wedding. joyce and her father were wonderful to witness, i can only hope that in the future my children look at their dad the way the joyce looks at hers.
I couldn’t decide on what images to post….









i think the photo above might be my favorite photo from this year!





one of the groomsmen found a toad, i believe they named him ted. Notice the look of fear on the faces of the bridesmaids. so funny.
