Laura and Logan had the epitome of a perfect garden wedding. Photographer Michaela Harle shared some insight on how the day was spent,”We started our day with some unconventional flash photos for detail shots on a gorgeous piano surrounded by moody fine art at Des Luxe hotel in Des Moines, IA. From there we moved to the stunning, historic Salisbury house and gardens to finish getting ready and head into the first look. The first look took place on a gorgeous balcony overlooking the gardens and held a very emotive and personal vow exchange.”

The day was intimate, consisting of a small bridal party of just a maid of honor and a best man, surrounded by their closest friends and family. It was the epitome of a perfect garden wedding, adorned with beautiful spring florals that complimented the historic venue so beautifully. The atmosphere was intentional and slow, everyone centered on being fully present. Cheers to the Koopmans!
