Following the ceremony we headed out for some photos at a nearby nature preserve and the reception that ended the night was held at Duncan Community Ballroom also in Britt. We’ve shot several weddings over the years at Duncan, what a great small town venue for a reception!

Also Laura May had THE BEST cake topper custom made of the couples three amazing rescue dogs off Etsy.
