The Teachout Building Wedding | Taylor & Alex

Taylor and Alex got married on the most beautiful summer day. The Teachout Building aka Teachout Events in Des Moines was the perfect backdrop for their intimate wedding day. They both got ready in different rooms at opposite sides of the building in the morning. I love that this venue has enough space for couples to be able to do this. They then had a personal first look in the ceremony venue space. After, we walked to the capital and took their portraits. After, their friends started to arrive and they spoke with them before hiding away for the ceremony. The ceremony included approximately 50 of their closest family and friends. It was officiated by a close friend and had many moments of laughter and sweet sincerity.

Their reception continued with sweet, sincere, and humorous moments. From their first dance to speeches. I had such a blast being a fly on the wall of their wedding day and helping it run smoothly. I will never say no to wedding days in Des Moines that are intimate, laid back and focused on the unity of the couple.

The Teachout Building Wedding - Zach & Tia

Zach and Tia celebrated their wedding day at the Teachout Builidng in downtown Des Moines. From Tia’s bold makeup to their surprise choreographed first dance they created themselves (that was amazing and so them) I had so much fun photographing every single element of their day. Throughout the day they radiated joy and it was infectious. One thing I loved about their day was how obvious it was that they were there to celebrate and fully enjoy the day. Photos were a priority for them so we scheduled 3 separate times for portraits with just the two of them: after their first look, after the ceremony and at sunset, which I loved. At each time of the day the lighting was completely different and we had the opportunity to go to 3 locations within minutes of one another for a fun different feel. Zach and Tia made their wedding day exactly what they wanted and it was a blast to to photograph.

If you are wedding planning and struggling with people pleasing look through these photos and take them as a not so subtle hint to make your wedding day exact what you want 🥰
