An Enchanted Forest Wedding at the Hotel Millwright in Amana, Iowa

Finding Each Other in Uncertain Times

Ryne and Cheyenne’s story began with a move and a world in lockdown. Cheyenne had just relocated from California back to Iowa, and shortly after, the Covid pandemic hit. Despite the challenges, fate brought them together, and when they finally met, there was an instant connection.

Their early dates were filled with walks by the Mississippi, hikes, movie nights, and trips to The Amana Colonies. Each moment deepened their bond, and soon they both knew they had found something special. “The journey to each other was sweeter because it took time, patience, and effort,” Cheyenne says.
