Jeremiah + Angela {Sneak Peek}

A peek at the beautiful wedding of Jeremiah and Angela.  We had so much fun capturing their Fairfield wedding earlier this month.  Check back soon for more from their big day!

Wedding Day {The Timeline}

 
I love a good timeline.  It is a great way to ensure you have adequate time to accomplish what you wish to, especially in terms of photography, on your wedding day.  As much as I would love to be able to squeeze forty family portraits into fifteen minutes, odds are that is not going to happen.

Andy + Sarah {Wedding: Part 3}

Following the ceremony, we returned to the Holiday Inn for Andy and Sarah's reception.  As cocktail hour finished in the reception area, Andy, Sarah, and their bridal party relaxed for a bit in the bridal suite. 

Lee + Julie {Engaged}

The second weekend of July, I met up with Lee and Julie at the Iowa City Public Library for their engagement session.  Julie is a professor of literature at UNI in Cedar Falls, so books hold a dear place in her heart.

Andy + Sarah {Wedding: Part 2}

After the first look, we headed to Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines for formal portraits and Andy and Sarah's wedding ceremony.  Our first stop in the zoo was the giraffe enclosure for the afternoon giraffe feeding.  The bridal party was given their own private deck from which to feed the giraffe.

Murdoc {Newborn}

 At the beginning of July, sweet, little Murdoc came into the studio for his newborn session.  He was only seven days old.  So tiny!

Andy + Sarah {Wedding: Part 1}

 At the end of June, I headed to Des Moines to capture the wedding of Andy and Sarah.  We began our day at the Holiday Inn and Suites in West Des Moines.  Sarah and her bridesmaids were getting ready in the bridal suite.

Brian + Maggie {Wedding: Part 2}

After the ceremony, we finished the formal portraits of Brian and Maggie at St. Mary's.  Once we completed the formal family portraits in the church, we headed to the Old Capitol for some fun portraits with the bridal party.  The weather was overcast and threatening rain, but thankfully the rain held off.

Kyle + Wendy {Engaged: Part 2}

After Grey's Lake Park, we headed downtown to Django, the restaurant where they had their first date.  The colors at Django matched Wendy and Kyle's red and black wedding colors beautifully.

The Keber Family

The last week of June, the Keber family came over to the studio for their family portrait session.  It has been a few years since I had the pleasure of photographing their family.  Their girls have gotten so big.  Crazy how quickly time flies!

Brian + Maggie {Wedding: Part 1}

In the middle of June, I headed to St. Mary's Catholic Church in Iowa City to capture the wedding of Brian and Maggie.  Brian and Maggie chose to keep tradition and not see each other prior to the ceremony.
