Lydia & Max

An Elegant Wedding with Lots of Heart | Windsor Heights, Iowa

June 20, 2026

I love a groom who is completely smitten with his bride - and that was definitely the case for Max & Lydia! His giant smile while walking up to Lydia for their reverse-first look was SO big and infectious. His excitement for finally seeing his beautiful bride was radiating from him. It was the best! Sharing their handwritten vows was an adorable moment of them professing their love for one another and wiping away the happiest of tears. Watching these two together was so incredibly sweet - as was watching them with their family. Though Lydia's grandfather was unfortunately hospitalized and unable to attend their wedding, he was still included in the speeches and first dances via Facetime and had a surprise visit from the couple themselves during Cocktail Hour. Witnessing them making family a priority was so sweet and special. I can't wait to watch these two grow their own family and see all the amazing places life takes them!

Congrats to the McCays!
