Tavis and Amy photographed Leanna and Caleb's wedding at American Homestead on June 20th. What a fun and "lovey" wedding! The morning of the wedding, the bride and groom made their wedding cake together and went for a walk. Isn't that sweet? We've never heard of that before! Caleb comes from a huge family from Utah and Leanna grew up in Yakima. The bride and groom met at school in Iowa. At American Homestead we took several portraits at a location called "Lover's Island," which has forest and river access and we also took portraits in the aspen grove. Aspen trees are particularly special to the couple because when they were at school, they used to ride through similar trees.
Some of our favorite moments of the day were when the mother of the bride was helping Leanna get dressed, the mother popped an inside joke, looked up at Leanna and they both smiled and giggled. :) Also, before walking down the aisle for the ceremony, Leanna and her dad were peeking through the curtain at the guests as they walked in. The dad got a bit emotional right before they walked down and it was adorable and heartwarming.
There were tons of homemade things at this wedding...the groom made the ring box, they made the flower girl basket, the bride and groom made the cake, they had a trail mix bar for party favors and they had pie for dessert.
This couple was the "total package" as far as photos go. After the wedding Amy wrote, "Sometimes people are either goofy and outgoing, or quiet and romantic, but it is not often that couples possess both of these qualities. Leanna and Caleb were the perfect mix of lighthearted fun and extravagant romance. It's obvious these two are incredibly happy and crazy about each other...just from their vows I know this marriage is a very serious commitment and through Christ they are off to a great start. I wish I had a copy of their vows to share...I really liked them! Each statement started with, 'with God's grace,' and then they personalized their promises based on their relationship. Someone told me this encouraging word when I got married and I want to pass on the same words to Leanna and Caleb: 'God is going to bless the heck out of you! In ways you can't even imagine!' And it's true! Of course it's not all a breeze, but in good times and in bad times, you both have your foundation in Christ and you'll always have each other. Marriage is one of life's greatest blessings and I am so excited about this amazing union and the new Mr. and Mrs. Acree!"
