Marissa & Adam | Shores Event Center Wedding

Marissa and Adam were married in a charming ceremony at the Shores Event Center.

You can see their engagement session here. They included their dog (and the Hawkeyes!) in the session. The post also shows off their guest book album that they used at their wedding. Also, here is an earlier “sneak peek” post of couple and another with more images of Marissa and Adam here.

One of the important elements to the day was “family.” They were surrounded by both of their families, including their adorable nieces and nephews during their wedding. Marissa’s grandfather even became ordained so he could marry the couple.

The colors they used, yellow and black, showed their love of the University of Iowa and the Hawkeyes. This showed up not only in the flowers and dresses, but also with the candy buffet and the cupcakes. And the ring bearer’s “security” briefcase channeled Adam’s career as a police officer.

The whole day was low-key and simple. Marissa and Adam wanted the focus on natural, real moments. Their goal was to enjoy their families being together. As all wedding couples should.
