Michelle & Tim | Wedding | Wilson’s Orchard, IA

Michelle and Tim’s fall wedding at Wilson’s Orchard was absolutely perfect! These two are constantly making each other laugh, so it was no surprise that their wedding day was filled with fun, laughter and love. Some of our favorite things about the day: golf carting to a private picnic for the bride and groom, the gorgeous scenery of Wilson’s Orchard, and some spectacular moments on the dance floor. Keep scrolling to see all the highlights!
All the pretty little details. We adore Michelle’s “something blue” heels.
How about a round of mimosas? This was such a fun group of ladies!
Check out those socks!
Before the first look with Tim, Michelle had this sweet first look moment with her dad. LOVE.
Tim’s face here!! We love first look moments.
Gosh, we love Wilson’s Orchard! These trees were definitely giving us some enchanted forest vibes.
So much laughter! We love how Michelle explained what she admires most about Tim: “his quick wit and ability to always make me laugh, even on my worst days. He just makes life fun, even a trip to the grocery store!”
Their outdoors, unplugged ceremony was so sweet and intimate. We love that the bride’s cousins sang as she walked down the aisle!
OFFICIALLY MARRIED!
Before a few more portraits, Michelle and Tim enjoyed a few moments of their cocktail hour inside Rapid Creek Cidery. If you haven’t checked out Rapid Creek Cidery at Wilson’s Orchard yet, we highly recommend it! It’s an old barn that has been transformed into a restaurant and event center.
We were SO happy to have the use of a golf cart to take us on a mini adventure between the ceremony and reception. This private picnic moment reminded us so much of Michelle and Tim’s engagement session where we captured some candid moments of them on a coffee date. When we asked them what three things (aside from each other) they couldn’t live without, they answered “coffee, wine and family.”
Given that it’s October, we couldn’t resist golf carting over to the pumpkin patch for a few more pictures.
Party time!
Time to take a shot and then cut the cake! Tim stole the first bite for himself, so naturally Michelle stole the second bite for herself! This moment had everyone cracking up.
Sweet words of love, encouragement and lots of laughter.
We love that their dessert table featured Wilson’s Orchard apple turnovers alongside their almond cupcakes. In case you were wondering, those turnovers are fantastic.
Michelle’s first dance with her dad was “crashed” by her mom as a surprise. This was such a cute moment!!
The bride and groom danced to an acoustic version of “Simply the Best,” which then morphed into the classic Tina Turner version.
So many amazing facial expressions. Michelle and Tim definitely owned this dance floor!
Michelle and Tim, congratulations! We had so much fun capturing all these moments from your wedding day and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!
