Joanna + Jordan {Wedding: Part 2}

For their grand entrance, not only were the wedding party announce, but so were Joanna's parents and Jordan's parents.  It was so much fun to see the joy on their faces as they made their way into the reception hall.

Jordan + Joanna {Wedding: Part 1)

On February 13th, I headed to the gorgeous Hotel Blackhawk in Davenport for the wedding of Jordan and Joanna.  I had not had the pleasure of photographing and event in the hotel before and I can honestly say I hope I get to go back there soon!  GORGEOUS!  Beyond the location, Jordan and Joanna's wedding was stunning from start to finish.

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.

Mason + Bridgette {Wedding: Part 1}

On the last Saturday in November, I headed to the Coralville Marriott to capture Mason and Bridgette's beautiful wedding day.  When I arrived, my assistant and I headed up to where the bridal party were getting ready for the day to capturing the moments as they put on their finishing touches.

Brian + Stacie {Wedding}

In October I had the pleasure of assisting Shuva Rahim of Accent Photographics with capturing the beautiful wedding of Stacie and Brian at the Celebration Farms Timber Frame Barn.  The autumn weather was perfect and the colors were just beginning to turn.  Perfection.

Lee + Julie {Wedding: Part 2}

After the grand exit from the church, we headed to the Old Capitol, just a block over from the Newman Catholic Student Center.  It was great to have some more time to photograph Julie and Lee.  Their bridal party waited on the bus, while we got some great portraits around the Old Capitol and the other gorgeous buildings close by.

Lee + Julie {Wedding: Part 1}

At the beginning of October, I headed to the Newman Catholic Student Center, to capture Julie and Lee's wedding day.  We began the day with their first look.  You could see the joy radiating from Julie as she walked up to tap Lee on the shoulder.

October

I am so blessed this fall with a busy schedule filled with portraits and weddings.  I officially have no weekend availability left in October.  To be sure my clients get the attention they deserve, I am accepting only a very limited number of weekday sessions.  If you have been waiting to schedule your portrait session, contact us today before all availability is gone.

2016 Wedding Season

I have been so blessed this year.  2015 wedding season is not even close to finished and I am so excited to capture the weddings of all of the amazing couples I have the honor of working with this year.  It is looking like 2016 will be another wonderful year.  We have been getting inquiries daily and dates are starting to fill.

Riley + Erin {Wedding: Part 2}

After the portraits in the Ped Mall, we headed over to the University of Iowa Athletic Hall of Fame.  Can I just say, this is one of the most awesome locations I've shot at in a while.  The large windows in there are a photographer's dream.  Plus, it is just a nice, open venue.

Riley + Erin {Wedding: Part 1}

At the beginning of August, I headed to the Iowa Memorial Union in downtown Iowa City to capture the wedding of Riley and Erin.  The weather was hot, but it was a gorgeous day.

Riley + Erin {Sneak Peek}

A peek at Riley and Erin's gorgeous wedding!  Check back soon for more from their big day.

Jeremiah + Angela {Wedding: Part 2}

Jeremiah and Angela's wedding ceremony, was a beautiful full catholic mass.  I love the light streaming in from behind her as her father walked her down the aisle.  She looks simply radiant!

Jeremiah + Angela {Wedding: Part 1}

We began our day with Angela and Jeremiah as they got ready at the Best Western in Fairfield.  As Angela relaxed with her bridesmaids, I was able to capture some beautiful details of her dress, shoes and jewelry.  I love details.  Each couple spends so much time planning out the details of their wedding day, I feel it's important to capture them.

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. 

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.

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.
