Leah & Jesse

A Touching Summer Wedding | Bussey, Iowa

August 21, 2026

Leah & Jesse's wedding day was filled with so much happiness and love. It was especially clear how beloved Leah is by those around her - her day started out with being supported and loved on by her mom, bridesmaids, & attendants, followed by an emotional and tear-filled first look with her dad, lots of cheering on by her brothers, an adorably sweet family group hug, and finally a speechless groom admiring his first look with his bride. The day was seriously filled with one touching moment followed by the next!

The way these two cared for those around them - both those in their wedding party and as guests - was so inspiring. You can tell these two will have your back no matter what. Plus, watching Jesse in uncle mode (make that: UNCLE JESSE mode - iykyk!) was adorable and precious.

It was so apparent the priority these two have in putting God at the center of their relationship and how that drives their relationship. Basically... I just can't say enough wonderful things about the new Mr. & Mrs. Uittenbogaard! (p.s. those double Dutch surnames..... this fellow Dutch girl LOVED THAT!!)

Congrats, you two!
