Des Moines was in full bloom this weekend! Flowers falling from the sky + bursts of floral smells walking down the street. Heavenly, right?!
This weekend was a weekend full of reuniting with old friends, seeing newer friends, and meeting new friends. Friends friends friends.
– I crashed my friends’ connection group for the second week in a row on Thursday. I wish it could happen every week!
– Afterwards, we all went to Juniper Moon to celebrate 2 birthdays.
– Friday I worked in my friends’ sweet sunroom and photographed Stephen and Natalie’s wedding that afternoon/night!
– The flowering trees were the PERFECT backdrop for wedding portraits. <3
– Saturday I had coffee with my step dad and sweet old kitty, miss Bella. She was born in 1999 and is still as sweet + sassy as ever!
– Then I went to La Mie Bakery to catch up with a college roommate. Most everything they serve there is incredible, but that tartine was delish.
– I ran a few errands for Chelsie’s (a bff) bridal shower.
– We all went to get wine and pizza at Eatery A that night and wrapped up the night setting up for the party the next day!
– Sunday: church + brunch, and then set up the final details for Chels’ bridal shower.
– Then partied! If anyone deserves to be showered it’s Chels! The sweetest, most beautiful bride.
– Then of course, the 6.5 hour drive back home to Wisconsin.
T’was a sweet weekend. 🙂
With love,
Ali Leigh
P.S. How cool is it that Stephen and Natalie had a Snapchat filter for their wedding?!
