Mark & Janeen {Wedding: Part 1}

 

 On June 21, I headed out to the countryside north of Solon where Sts. Peter & Paul Church is located to capture Mark and Janeen's wedding day.  Despite the clouds looking rather ominous in the morning, it turned out to be a gorgeous day and we had a blast working with Mark and Janeen, as well as their wonderful friends and families.

Mark & Janeen {Sneak Peek}

 

I don't normally post sneak peeks, but I had to share this.  I'm still a long way from having all of Mark and Janeen's wedding edited and ready to share, but this image is just too fun not to share.  There is really nothing quite like a nice blue sky (on a day that was supposed to be stormy) out on the backroads of Iowa, surrounded by beautiful green fields.  Simply lovely!  Check back later to hear more about Mark and Janeen's wedding day and to see more images of this beautiful couple!

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.

Ryan & Kayla {Wedding}

                    

The first weekend in July, I had the privilege of capturing Ryan and Kayla's beautiful wedding day.  Their day started at Sts. Peter & Paul's Chapel in Solon.  It is a beautiful church set in the countryside.  Just behind the church are a couple rows of evergreen trees.  They created a gorgeous backdrop for their first look.  I know I've said it before, but I really do love first looks.  

Mitch & Kassi {Wedding}

The first weekend in October, I headed to the Celebration Farms Double Round Barn to capture the celebration of Mitch and Kassi's wedding.  It was a very crisp fall day and it played in perfectly to the autumnal theme they had.  The hall was decorated with leaves and pumpkins, very befitting of an October wedding.

Nolan & Kelly {Wedding}

At the beginning of June, I had the pleasure of capturing Nolan and Kelly's wedding. It was a beautiful day full of wonderful friends and family. We had a great time with lots of laughter. Their ceremony was held at Our Redeemer Lutheran in Iowa City. After the ceremony, we headed to City Park for some fun outdoor pictures. Then it was off to their reception at Lake McBride Golf Club in Solon. At sunset, we went out onto the course for a few pictures with the gorgeous warm light.

Brian & Julie {Newlyweds}

On the Friday after Thanksgiving, I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Brian and Julie. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Mary's in Solon surrounded by close friends and family. The reception was held at Brosch Chapel. It was a beautiful intimate gathering and was an excellent way to celebrate their love and the love of their family and friends.

Tim & Candace

In August, I had the pleasure of helping assist Greg Frieden of Greg Frieden Photography capture Tim & Candace's gorgeous wedding. Their ceremony was held at Sts. Peter & Paul's in Solon. I have to say, I think the church there is gorgeous. The architecture is beautiful and the atmosphere is very intimate. After the ceremony, we headed to the Old Capital to finish their formal session. Their reception was held at Hotel Vitro, downtown Iowa City. It was a wonderful venue, definitely ranking amongst my favorite locations to photograph in.
