Little Lights on the Lane Wedding Venue | West Branch, Iowa
If you’re planning a wedding in West Branch, Iowa, and you’ve come across Little Lights on the Lane, there’s a reason it keeps popping up.
This venue doesn’t just photograph well. It creates a wedding day that actually feels calm, intentional, and personal.
We’re Travis & Joni Films, a husband-and-wife wedding videography team, and we’ve filmed weddings at Little Lights on the Lane more times than we can count. At this point, it feels less like a venue we “work at” and more like a place we keep coming back to, because the days here are always good days.
A Venue Built by Someone Who Truly Understands Light
Little Lights on the Lane was created by Erin, the owner, who was a photographer herself, and that experience shows in every part of the space.
The light is soft and natural. Rooms are designed with flow in mind. Nothing feels accidental. It’s the kind of venue where you don’t have to fight the environment to create beautiful moments.
We’ve seen this play out so many times, like during Drew and Abby’s wedding, when their first look happened just steps away from where they got ready, quiet, emotional, and completely uninterrupted.

Everything Happens in One Place
One of the reasons weddings at Little Lights on the Lane feel so relaxed is because everything happens on site.
Getting ready. First looks. Portraits. Ceremony. Reception.
There’s no bouncing between locations or padding the timeline “just in case.” That extra breathing room changes the entire energy of the day.
For Zac and Chelsea, that meant they could slow down, spend more time with family, and actually enjoy the in-between moments, which ended up being some of the most meaningful parts of their wedding film.

Our whole wedding party loved them and we all just got along so well. They perfectly captured all the love and emotion that I felt on our wedding day. It’s such a priceless gift to be able to relive that day for years to come. I cannot recommend these two enough, they are both extremely talented and also just kind and genuine people.
I just cannot sing their praises enough. I feel like they read me so well and perfectly directed us but also felt like friends.

Travis & Joni are the best duo you could EVER ask for! They are so so so talented and experts in what they do! I felt beautiful and will forever cherish the memory we caught on film for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! Not a single person would be disappointed in meeting them.
My now husband and I have never really been on camera and they made it the most easy process ever! And they are just FUN to be around!
