Blair + William outside Mount Vernon.
The Story
The hills around Mount Vernon roll harder than most of Iowa — and Blair and William's farm wedding sat right on top of them.
Twenty minutes from Cedar Rapids, the land changes: the flat opens into ridge lines, and the light gets theatrical in the evenings. Blair and William married on a farm out here, with the ceremony facing west for exactly that reason.
Their gallery moves the way the day did — morning quiet in the farmhouse, vows in open air, and a long golden hour across the ridgelines that gave us portrait light most city venues would pay for.
From the Day
Photographing A Farm outside Mount Vernon
The landscape
Ridge-and-valley farmland gives layered backgrounds you can't get in central Iowa — every portrait has depth.
Close to home
Mount Vernon is minutes from Cedar Rapids and Iowa City — a rural setting without the drive.
Local knowledge
This is my home ground. If you're marrying anywhere in the Cedar Rapids corridor, I likely already know your light.
