Caleb + Rachel - Dubuque, IA Wedding Photography

Caleb + Rachel had such an awesome celebration of their marriage last weekend! From the moment we arrived at the Hotel Julien where all the ladies were getting ready, you could tell how calm and relaxed Rachel was. Enjoying champagne, helping her girls get ready and just completely enjoying the day. 

After a beautiful ceremony, we headed to an overlook of Dubuque and the Mississippi which provided a stunning backdrop for photos. The reception was hosted at Caleb's parents house, which was a gorgeous old brick house that was perfect for hosting a wedding that made everyone feel at home. The dance party kicked off like no other wedding I have been at and set the tone for an awesome night. 

Thank you Caleb and Rachel for including us in your big day, it was such an honor. And thank you to your friends and family for making us feel so welcome all day! Enjoy a preview of your photos :) And be sure to click play on the slideshow at the end to see more!

Caleb + Rachel - Dubuque, IA Engagement Photography

I was so excited for this session! I had been strictly corresponding with Rachel via email and I hadn't met her or Caleb yet as they live in Tampa, FL, so when we finally got to meet in person it was so fun! They are such an easy going couple and were even up for a sunrise session, my new favorite! The light is just absolutely gorgeous early in the morning  and I was so excited they were up for it :)

After their session we grabbed a coffee and chatted more about their big day and got to hear more about their story. They are planning what I'm sure will be a beautiful backyard Dubuque wedding for next June and I cannot wait!

Rachel + Caleb, hope you guys had a great rest of your weekend in Iowa and can't wait till next time! 

Enjoy a few sneak peeks from their engagement session below!
