Corey + Teressa {Wedding: Part 3}

After sunset, we headed back into the reception and continued with the festivities of the evening.  Corey and Teressa cut their cake, then guests dove into the amazing delicious Molly's cupcakes.  I have to say the chocolate was phenomenal (did I ever mention how much I love cupcakes?!).

After we finished with the bridal party portraits on the golf course, we headed back to the clubhouse to photograph the family portraits.  Unfortunately, the sunlight was harsh which limited our locations for portraits.  Thankfully on the back of the clubhouse there was a great spot for portraits.

Jay + Cindy {Wedding: Part 2}

Jay and Cindy's wedding was attended by close friends a family.  The sun was shining bright behind them, over the beautiful Mississippi River.  I love the moments of Cindy laughing with her dad as she awaited walking down the aisle.  You can see the joy on their faces.

We began our day on the grounds of the beautiful Villa Louis in Prarie du Chein, Wisconsin.  Jay patiently awaited Cindy's arrival.  As she walked up the path to meet him for their first look, you could see the excitement on both of their faces.  Such a beautiful moment!

Angela & Karla {Wedding}

 

In August of last year, I assisted Greg Frieden Photography in capturing this beautiful wedding.  The event was held at the Celebration Farms Timber Frame Barn, and the setting was beautiful.  To make the day no less than perfect, was the love these two had for each other.  It was such a joy to photograph their interactions.  Some of my favorite pictures from the day are the ones of them dancing in the trees.  Their expressions say it all.

Chris & April {Just Married}

At the end of September, I had the honor of photographing Chris and April's wedding at A Touch of Class in Cedar Rapids.  Their day was absolutely beautiful from start to finish and I am so happy that my assistant and myself were allowed to share in their day. 

Nick & Julie {Wedding}

On August 4th, I headed down to Bloomfield, Iowa for the wedding of Nick and Julie.  The ceremony was held at Nick's family's farm, a simply gorgeous backdrop for both pictures and the ceremony.  After Julie finished getting ready, we began formal pictures with her, her family, and her bridesmaids.  In the pasture next to the ceremony area stood a large tree that made for an amazing location for pictures.  After we finished with the girls we hid Julie away so Nick couldn't see her until the ceremony, then guys came out for their pictures.

Joel & Laura {Wedding}

In the middle of July, I headed to Heartland Acres in Independence, Iowa to photograph the wedding of Joel  and Laura.  Despite stormy skies in the morning, we had a beautiful day.  The day began at the Best Western as Laura finished getting ready for the day.

Jesse & Abby

On October first, I headed to the Amana Golf Course to photograph the vow renewal ceremony of Jesse and Abby. They were married a little over a year ago, just before Jesse deployed to Afghanistan. Their vow renewal was a wonderful chance for friends and family to celebrate with them and welcome Jesse back after his tour overseas.

Quinten & Alisha

On September 10th, I photographed the wedding of Quinten and Alisha at the Marriott in Coralville. Their day was simply stunning. We began the morning as the bride and her maids got their hair and makeup done. Then we did a very special "first look" between Alisha and her father. I have to say, it was an amazing event. There were tears all around as her beaming father laid eyes on her, all grown up, in her wedding gown. Then it was Quinten's turn to see his gorgeous bride.
