Mason + Bridgette {Wedding: Part 2}

 We loved Mason and Bridgette's late November wedding at the Marriott in Coralville.  It was a beautiful event and the couple was surrounded by so much love, not only for each other but the love their family and guests had for the beautiful couple was wonderful.

Kyle + Wendy {Wedding: Part 2}

 The ceremony at Kyle and Wendy's wedding was beautiful.  It was gorgeously decorated and attended by close friends and family.  Kyle's parents are passed and during the time that they would have been seated, Kyle carried two white roses to lay on the chairs that had been reserved for them.  It was so touching.  Though his parents were not there in person to witness his marriage to Wendy, they were certainly there in spirit.

Brian + Rebecca {Wedding: Part 2}

 As we were ending our time in New Bo, we stopped along a fence to the south of the New Bo bar.  I love the vine growing along the fence and the diagonal lines in the fence.

 Then the bridal party got back on the party bus and headed to Noelridge Park for some more bridal party portraits.  It had been many years since I'd had the opportunity to photograph there, such beautiful gardens.

 Rebecca had bought umbrellas for the bridal party since the forecast was looking like rain.  Thankfully, the rain held off for the majority of the day.  Though, ironically, during the ten minutes we decided to bring out the umbrellas for some fun shots, the skies began to open up.  Thankfully, it was mostly just sprinkling.  As soon as we finished, the skies cleared up again.

Their reception was held at the Cedar Rapids Marriott.  Their grand entrance was so fun.  I love the tunnel created by their bridal party.

 During the reception, Brian and Rebecca took a spin on the traditional kissing to the tinking of glasses.  Each time they kissed, their DJ would announce a randomly drawn couple from amongst the guests and had them kiss as well.

 The toasts given by the best man, maid of honor, and Rebecca's dad were filled with humor and love.  It was so much fun to capture the emotions and reactions as the toasts were given.

Congratulation to Brian and Rebecca!!  Also, a big thank you to Stacie Ricklefs for assisting me in capturing this beautiful day!

Nate & Emily {Wedding}

Earlier this summer, I had the pleasure of assisting Shuva Rahim of Accent Images with the wedding of Nate and Emily.  We began the day at Nate and Emily's Iowa City home where they shared their first look.  The expressions on their faces as they saw each other for the first time were simply perfect.  You could see the excitement, joy, and love they felt.

Kenny & Erin {Wedding: Part 2}

After the wedding and the grand exit from the church, Kenny and Erin headed to the park again for some portraits of just the two of them.  I was in heaven!  Not only did I get to go back the beautiful park, but I got a lot of time to work with just the two of them.
