Alicia and her girls prepared for the wedding with a perfect view of downtown Des Moines. They sang to Hamilton and ate pickle spears and had the best time all morning. Nick and his guys got ready at The River Center just a few blocks away.
Once they were ready, Nick and Alicia shared an intimate first look. They chose to read letters to one another and neither could keep the tears from falling. Before heading to the church for their ceremony, we stopped by the red bridge in downtown Des Moines for some fun photos! They tied the knot and the bridal party hopped into the cutest trolley to drive around! We photographed their bridal party and even managed time for some extra just married portraits of the lovers.
Wildflower DSM worked their magic and turned The River Center into a flower wonderland. We were all in awe when we arrived and saw this Iowa wedding venue. It was beautiful! We even got to sneak a peek at the new part of The River Center that was just finishing the demolition stage!
Nick and Alicia, you two are perfect for each other! Never stop making each other laugh! You share the sweetest love and it was such an honor to capture your wedding day!
xoxo,
Anna
I love River Center weddings because of the uniquely modern, yet elegantly classy feel of The River Center’s aesthetic. Scroll to see more from Nick and Alicias’s River Center Wedding!
If you’re interested in securing a Des Moines wedding photographer for your wedding date we’d love to chat with you as it’s one of our favorite venues to work with!
Recognize these two from their stormy spring Shattering Silence engagement session? See more photos here.
We hope you enjoyed our River Center wedding photos of Nick & Alicia’s wedding!
If you love our work and would like to have photographs like these, I’d love to chat with you! There’s no obligation to book, and if I think someone else might be a better fit, I’ll gladly refer you! Or, if you’re just interested in finding out if one of these is the right choice for your wedding, we’d also be happy to talk.
