On Saturday, August 28, 2021, Wild Soul Weddings owner La Rae and associate Sally celebrated the wedding of Aaron and Whitney Burke in Mason City, Iowa!
I’ve had quite a fun journey getting to know the Burkes, as I was honored to photograph Aaron’s proposal to Whitney at the Elma Public Library, in Elma, Iowa, which his mom is the director of, their sweet engagement session in Elma, and finally their wedding!
These two are an absolute delight to be around. They both love to laugh and don’t take things too seriously. Their families and wedding party were no different! Despite a rainy morning, their day could not have been more perfect. Relaxed, chill, full of love and laughter!
These two got ready at the BEAUTIFUL and historic Decker House Bed and Breakfast, and had their ceremony and reception at Music Man Square in Mason City, Iowa. It was our first time shooting at these two locations, and we couldn’t stop gushing over them the entire day!
We also loved that Whitney’s dad has his own fun during the wedding day as well, as he did quite the performance for his speech, which was sharing one of Whitney’s high school speeches about how embarrassing of a dad he was, to him and Whitney “performing” Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd instead of a first dance. The fun literally never ended with the Burke wedding!
Ok ok, so without further ado, please check out their wedding day highlights!
