Rustic Rock & Roll Iowa Wedding: Adrien + Nate
Posted by Amy on . Leave a comment
Out of all the weddings I've ever been a part of, this one definitely goes down in history as unforgettable. Adrien and Nate have been dear friends of mine for years and it was an honor to play a role in such a special part of their lives. Both touring musicians and songwriters fiercely committed to their local Iowa music scene, you can find Nate fronting the band Mumford's, while Adrien is lead singer for the band Trouble Lights. True to form, Nate propsosed while Adrien was on stage performing at the annual 80/35 Music Festival in Des Moines! I could spend a lot of time talking about these two and how insanely talented and hardworking they are, but what I really want to emphasize is their overwhelming kindness. I am lucky to call these people friends, a sentiment no doubt shared by every single guest at that wedding. Powered by DIY, their rustic barn venue was adorned with fringe banners handmade by friends and incredible floral arrangements (locally grown of course!). In addition to enjoying an awesome DJ, guests were treated to their own private concert when local bands and longtime friends of the bride and groom (Poison Control Center and Utopia Park) performed at the wedding reception. And of course it wouldn't be a wedding without a shirtless crowd surfing groom, right? Congratulations Adrien and Nate! I love you both dearly and am so proud to share these photos.
