Gratitude is the first word that comes to my mind as I blog<\/b> this wedding\u2014I\u2019m so grateful that I get to do what I love in life which is make photographs and to still time\u2014I\u2019m also so grateful that I get to travel a lot while doing this and get to see the wedding world with fresh eyes every now and then.  So thank you Britt and Neal, (and Kirsten and Glen) for flying Rachael and I out to Decorah, Iowa to photograph your wedding.  I would have to say that this has been my favorite destination wedding so far, simply because Iowa surprised me with how stunningly beautiful she is.  And the people in Decorah were amazingly down to earth and cool\u2014and I won\u2019t even mention your friends, who were a riot<\/em> to hang with (special thanks to your friend with a breathalizer).  Ahhhh\u2026. good times at the Corner Bar.<\/p>\n

Britt and Neal\u2019s wedding ceremony was held at the cutest little Lutheran church out in the country amidst rolling hills and ripe fields of corn and soybeans.  The colors were fantastic and there is something about the afternoon light in the mid-west that I couldn\u2019t get enough of\u2026.  it was a beautiful, beautiful day with a beautiful, wonderful bunch of people.  I am thankful for this experience\u2026.<\/p>\n

Britt\u2019s \u201cMan of Honor\u201d, Aaron was wonderful\u2014he took his job very seriously and was clearly the guy for the job.  He adores Britt\u2026. you can see that in his face as he watches her prep for her wedding day.<\/p>\n

I love the next series of images with Britt and her Father, Glen.  I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever seen a father so in awe, and so proud of his daughter.  He was quite emotional the entire weekend, but these next few images say it all\u2026.<\/p>\n

Will you check out the light and color in this beautiful place?  This field behind Britt was a field of soybeans.  We actually went into the field, but grasshoppers were getting up Britt\u2019s dress! wish I would have gotten a photo of her freaking out about that, but Britt is simply too chill and down to earth\u2014she just lifted up the overlay of her dress and let them out.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, the wedding party and I hopped on a blue school bus to take us around to do some photos.  And yes\u2026. drink beer\u2026.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

One of Neal\u2019s groomsmen knew of this spot for photos\u2014it is the private land of somebody that he knows from town.  The family was gracious enough to let this wild wedding party out on to their lawn for some group shots.  Check out those views!<\/p>\n

The two guys in the blue shirts were the dudes that lived in the home\u2014We gave them beer and they sat out and watched as we \u201cplayed\u201d.  I bet they never thought they would spend their afternoon like this!  They were great!<\/p>\n

Britt and Neal actually met at the bar where this next image was taken\u2014The Corner Bar.  We spent a lot of time here  hootin\u2019 it up\u2014it was only sensible to take a photo like this!<\/p>\n
