In an attempt to post blog posts from pre ZTS blog era here is a wedding we captured last January in Ventura for Arthur and Anna who have now been happily married for almost 6 months!
I started off the day heading to Anna’s mothers home just outside of Garner, Iowa and Tanner headed over to Mason City to meet up with Arthur the groom as he prepared for the day.
They had a great setup on the fireplace with lights setup so I decided to take some great ring shots and some of Anna’s earrings.
Anna’s mom had some wonderful blue glass in the kitchen for decoration so I draped Anna’s necklace over the glass.
Anna’s mom also had some other great colored glass so snapped a few with the ring and glass as well.

From Anna’s house we headed on over to the Ventura Community Center in Ventura, Iowa where they were going to hold the ceremony, dinner and dance.
Anna picked out a gorgeous cake!
Arthur and the groomsmen
Instead of having a unity candle they had unity sand where they poured two colors of sand into the jar in the middle. Great idea!

Arthur did a great job picking out Anna’s ring!
Aren’t they a gorgeous couple?!
Possibly my favorite shot of the day. You can thank Tanner for this great pic

Next up was dinner!
Followed by some maid of honor and best man speeches. Here is a snapshot of Anna and her sister sharing a hug after the speech.
The first dance was next on the line. The little girls attending the wedding look on eagerly as Anna and Arthur share their first dance.

Arthurs friends thought it would be a great idea to chain him down representing his newly married life…ha! Actually was a pretty amusing idea!

And after the bouquet toss we shall end with a few garter shot images.
Hope the first six months of your marriage has been fabulous Anna and Arthur!
