Dawson and Kalli, oh you are meant to have each other!!!!!! They currently live in Des Moines, but they decided to get married at The Cider House 1949 in Fairfield, IA. They have been together almost five years and engaged for over a year, so they were so ready for their wedding day!

They both decided they wanted to opt out of a first look, and instead wait until the ceremony to see each other for the first time. Much to Kalli’s surprise, her parents surprised her with a carriage ride from Seven Roses Inn, where the ladies got ready, to the ceremony…it was AMAZING, and the coolest way to make your entrance! She was shocked, and had no idea it was happening! You could just feel the excitement of the day…every time I looked at either Dawson and Kalli, they were just beaming with the biggest smiles! By the time the ceremony came, they could hardly wait any longer to see each other. We finished the evening with portraits, then let the celebration begin with dinner catered by Local Burrito, toasts, and dancing!
