The morning of Riley and Macy's wedding kicked off with a heavy snowstorm and bitterly cold temperatures—one of those mornings where just stepping outside feels like a bold choice. Travel was stressful as the storm rolled through, but once everyone arrived safely, there was an immediate sense of relief (and warmth). Inside the barn, glowing candles, evergreens, and Christmas trees created the coziest, most festive atmosphere imaginable! With all images taken indoors, the day felt intimate, joyful, and full of holiday magic—proof that winter weddings can be stunning, even when Iowa winter is doing the absolute most.
