A love story over a decade in the making, Brooks & Amy were finally married this past Saturday in Dubuque, Iowa! This sweet duo has had their lives intertwined for so long – from a young budding romance to graduation and moving around the country together, Brooks & Amy are now staring a new chapter as husband & wife and I couldn’t be more excited for them!

After being on maternity leave for the last 10 weeks, I was SO excited to get back to work and even more excited to see Brooks & Amy again! Our morning started off getting ready in downtown Dubuque, surrounded by an incredible support system of friends and family. Amy had the sweetest girlfriends who showered her with love as she slipped into her wedding gown and they saw her for the first time as a bride. I loved how relaxed both Brooks and Amy were that morning — often times “wedding nerves” fill the room but instead, Brooks & Amy kept echoing how incredibly excited they were to be marrying their best friend. When I asked Brooks how he was feeling he said, “This day is already just the best, the absolute best.”

It’s always so fun to see a wedding where the couple has been together for 10+ years because their lives are so deeply intertwined. The reception room was filled to the brim with supportive friends & family members — it truly felt like a giant family reunion where everyone was hugging + laughing + dancing and just overjoyed to be together celebrating Brooks & Amy. No matter where life leads these two, I know they will be surrounded by a huge support system cheering them on every step of the way.

Brooks & Amy, thank you for asking me to document your wedding day! I can’t wait to see what this exciting new chapter holds in store for you! Xo

SO beautiful, Amy!!!

What a gorgeous & fun wedding party!!!

Look at that Just Married joy!!!

LOVE this one!
