Mr. + Mrs. Braun | Castle Unicorn, Pacific Junction, IA

June 22, 2024


Jourdan and Austin’s wedding at Castle Unicorn was the definition of a fairytale. With a stunning garden theme brought to life by vibrant flowers and colorful bridesmaid dresses, this magical summer day was one to remember. A huge shoutout to Farma Flowers for their enchanting floral arrangements, which added a whimsical touch to every corner of the venue.


From start to finish, the day was filled with thoughtful and personal details that truly reflected Jourdan and Austin’s unique personalities. They included:

  • A dog treat bar for their furry friends.
  • Custom matchbooks as keepsakes.
  • A coffee and ice cream truck for guests to enjoy.
  • A live painter capturing special moments as they unfolded.

One particularly special moment was watching Jourdan’s father observe her first look with Austin from the top of the castle—it was a memory I’ll carry with me forever. Later, Austin’s grandmother joined them to cut the cake, adding even more meaning to an already incredible day.

This celebration took on an even deeper significance after the unexpected passing of Jourdan’s father shortly afterward. The memories of him proudly watching his daughter marry the love of her life will forever be a cherished part of their story.

Jourdan and Austin, your wedding day was filled with love, beauty, and unforgettable moments. Thank you for allowing me to capture your story—it was an honor I will never forget.
