Okay, brace yourselves because Reagan + Forrest’s intimate wedding at Reiman Gardens in Ames, Iowa is an absolute MOOD. Seriously, this couple was vibing so hard with nature and their crew, it felt like we all got transported to an alternate universe of pure happiness.
The best part? Everything was outside—yes, you read that right. Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, all wrapped up in lush, garden beauty. You could feel the good vibes oozing from the leaves themselves. Reagan and Forrest were torn between eloping or having this garden party, and let me tell ya, they nailed the decision. The photos speak for themselves; it was THAT epic.
What made my heart do little somersaults were the tiny details – elegant jewel tones, luscious florals, you name it. They proved that intimate doesn’t mean skimping on the luxurious details. Small weddings can be, and SHOULD be, just as fabulous as big ones, and this wedding was LIVING PROOF.
