Morgan and Chris’ wedding in Iowa was full of sentimental elements, most notably the venue: the groom’s family farm where so many special moments from the couple’s relationship took place. With so much nostalgia abound, it’s no wonder these wedding images by Amanda Basteen Photography are impossibly romantic. From their first look on a pier to their sunset portraits on the farm, the Morgan and Chris simply glowed with newlywed bliss!

The Couple:

Morgan and Chris

The Wedding:

Private Farm, Clear Lake, Iowa

The Inspiration:

We wanted to keep it simple and elegant. Chris‘ family farm has been a special place for us throughout our relationship — it is a place we feel the most connected with our Heavenly Father. We wanted to share this special place with our family and friends.

The Moments:

Our favorite moment from the wedding was the first look. I will never forget walking out to the dock, waiting for him to turn around and see me for the first time. I just kept thanking God for this moment and giving me this wonderful man to be my husband.

The Couple Recommends:

I can’t thank Amanda Basteen enough for her wonderful photography. Her work is just breath taking. She was a delight to work with, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
