It was simply a thrill to travel to the Davenport, Iowa area to capture Allison and Nathan’s big day. These two Valparaiso University graduates originally planned to have their wedding on campus, but moved it to their home state of Iowa.
This Fall wedding started with bridal prep in Davenport and then made it’s way to the Tanglewood Hills Pavilion chapel in nearby Bettendorf. Everybody chipped in on bridal prep, including Dad on the curling iron!!

We had two first looks for this Autumn wedding and both were outside the chapel doors at Tanglewood Hills with Dad and of course, the groom Nathan.

Of course, we had to sneak in some thumb wrestling, mean girl and cheerleader poses along with some obsessive texting and finger pointing for the wedding party group photos. And yes, we had some beautifully yellow Fall color while doing so.
Fun wedding party photos.
Oh, and did I mention the 25MPH winds?!!

The chapel at Tanglewood Hills Pavilion is a non-denominational facility that is perfect for a church wedding. The balcony also houses a bridal suite and the Evergreen Reception room downstairs makes this a great all in one wedding venue for the Davenport, Iowa area.
After the ceremony we did family pictures along with a few more bride and groom images and then it was time for cake and dinner.

While the desserts and dinner were all terrific, the real highlight of the reception inside the Evergreen Room at Tanglewood Hills Pavilion was the emotional bond between the bride and groom and their families and friends.
