There is always usually one or two very hot 100+ degree weddings a year. As a Des Moines Photographer, I always try to prepare the best for those days. Lots of water, cooler of ice, hydration is key. I loved the golden hour for this day though! That summer golden heat on the winery was lovely. Amanda & Jay were so wonderful to work with! Such a kind and easy going couple. Venturing outside for a little bit for photos, getting in the grass, it makes for easy breathtaking images.

Venue: Wooden Wheel Vineyards
