{St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Wedding}

We haven’t received rain in weeks but the forecast for Lauryn and Matt’s wedding day was looking bleak. Although the rain was much needed in the area, it was a bit worrisome for outdoor portraits on Clear Lake. The ENTIRE hour+ drive to Mason City was down pouring BUT thankfully it all cleared just in time for Lauryn and Matt to have a beautiful First Look in front of the gorgeous St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. After their elegant, full mass ceremony, we rushed to the lake for portraits before beating the next round of rain coming in. The day was in our favor because, just as we finished and hopped in the car, it started down pouring once again! Even though the weather was not close to ideal, Lauryn trusted me throughout the whole day. She was ready to celebrate and get married no matter what! It’s so encouraging to have a bride not only trust me on a rainy day but also not be in tears. At the end of the day, it’s about making a covenant to do life side by side with the person you love the most…. no matter how hard it gets. I’m so excited to see Lauryn and Matt start on this new adventure together as husband and wife. Their beautiful day was just a small piece of all of the beautiful adventures they will experience together in life!

It’s such an honor to be a part of your special day, Lauryn and Matt! I hope you are enjoying these first few days as husband and wife and I hope you love reliving the day through my eyes!
