Council Bluffs, Iowa | Summer Wedding | Aubrey + Jahn
Aubrey + Jahn’s Iowa Summer Wedding
Jahn has the ability to put the giddiest of smiles on Aubrey’s face. He is smitten with Aubrey. That makes our hearts do a little happy dance! Their day was filled with just that, happy hearts. These two are just happy being together.
They exchanged vows at Broadway United Methodist Church in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The church is charming, adorned with dark wood. high ceilings and stained glass windows. These two decided not to do a first look before the ceremony which is always fun as we see the excitement build up before the bride comes down the aisle.
The couple chose to include all of their guests in a very special way during their ceremony. Rather than just lighting their unity candle alone they invited all of their guests to light candles together like a candle lighting service at Christmas. They passed the light from guest to guest incorporating and spreading their love among all their family and friends. Such a beautiful way to symbolize the coming together of not just two people but brining together two families and all their friends through their marriage.
Aubrey had all kinds of ideas for where to do photos and it was fun to bring those ideas to life for her. Everyone jumped on Ollie the Trolley and headed to the Old Market, in Omaha for wedding party photos for the brick walls and the urban vibe. Another photo we collaborated about before the wedding was a a rooftop skyline photo which we managed to grab on what felt like the windiest day ever!
Festivities continued at the Mid America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa alongside family and friends. One thing is for sure, kids + music + glow sticks = happy kids. Thanks for sharing your special day with us!
Congratulations and keep on dancing!
PHOTO TIP:
Why do engagement photos? Machaela has known Aubrey for years but engagement photos gave her a chance to see these two as the two smitten kittens they are! Engagement photos are among a few of our favorite things to photograph. Why? We get to know you and you get to know us. We learn what really makes you laugh and how to bring that to life and that plays out in your wedding day.
