Things of note : Britney has the BEST crinkly nose smile + the BEST ladies surrounding her (look at all that love). A special speech from M’s brother overseas + a mother/daughter dance that will make anyone cry!! We started the day with Matthew telling us he is not an emotional person and crying isn’t […]

I was SO STOKED when Steph reached out to us to photograph their wedding day – we had photographed her sister’s wedding 3 years prior, and absolutely loved working with them and their family!!  Between Steph’s Mom’s giggles, her Dad’s tears, and sister Katie’s loving glances – they are a sweet, sweet family that aren’t […]

Drew + Katie.  The way K & D looked at each other throughout the day would make anyone melt faster than an ice cream cone on a hot day in July…oh wait, it was a SUPER hot day in July.  Here’s the thing, though – hot weather in tuxes and unbreathable dresses would make anyone […]

Last night I had a dream that I went to dinner with all of my wedding couples that we’ve photographed.  I introduced them to one another and was so excited to create new friendships between these people.  I think this should become a reality, don’t you??? Each year I’m amazed at how BLESSED I am […]

theWit couldn’t have been more aptly named for Ben & Kelly’s wedding!! Kelly is hilariously witty and Ben has the best laugh to go with it!!  They are seriously one of the kindest, funniest, and most rave-tastic couples ever!! Did I just make up a word??  YES.  Yes, I did.  Spending K & B’s wedding […]

This one is special. The kind of special that makes you feel like you are living these moments with them.  Tears of joy + big laughs + bear hugs + those special touches inside those sweet moments…I can’t get enough.  I’m the type of photographer who feels all of your emotions with you on your […]

Amy & David were married on a gorgeous June day under some amazing oak trees.  Country View Acres is a new-ish venue to North Iowa, they opened about a year ago, and I’d go so far as to say it is definitely one of the best!  It has a perfect mix of rustic and elegant […]

Courtney & Aaron got married on the perrrrrfect June day!!  72 degrees, sunny, with the slightest breeze to cool you from the sun!  The perfect weather was just a reflection of the perfect love between Aaron & Courtney.  You can tell by the way they look at each other and hold each other that they […]
