On Saturday, July 6, 2019, Wild Soul Weddings owner La Rae and second shooter Leah celebrated Tyler and Michaela Hogan in Independence, Iowa!
When Leah and I arrived at the Geerstma family home in Independence, we walked into a home very clearly filled with a lot of love. Michaela’s mom Leah welcomed us in, and we were met with our bride and her bridesmaids/family singing and jamming to summer time tunes.
Michaela was absolutely beaming; she said she wasn’t nervous at all…she was just super excited to get the day going!
When we met up with Tyler right before the first look, I told him it was ok to cry, and he said he was definitely prepared to shed some tears at seeing his beautiful bride.
Tyler and Michaela, as well as their families, were ready to have the best damn day ever, and I’m positive they did!
Take a peek at their wedding day highlights!
