Photographing your wedding day details is one of my absolute favorite parts of your wedding day!  Most often, I begin your wedding day by collecting your details from you and finding a small space to stylize and photograph them to best represent the style of your day!   By doing this, it allows me to prepare […]

The morning after a January snow storm, Joe & Marcia woke up to their long-awaited wedding day!  The sun sparkled on the newly fallen snow and added to the brightness of their love as they got married in the sweetest, most intimate ceremony.   I met Joe before he had even met Marci – we photographed […]

I’ve come to learn that in business, not everything that comes your way is a fit for your business.  Sometimes you have to say, “No” to someone simply because your styles don’t resonate (and with photography it’s SO important because it’s SO personal).  As Rachel Hollis would say, “If it’s not a HE** YES then […]

Sarah and Daniel couldn’t have gotten married on a windier day!!  Seriously.  The farmers were out harvesting and the corn husks were flyyyying by the church windows as Sarah & Daniel tied the knot!  But what really “blew” me away (hahaha get it??? 😉 was Sarah & Daniel’s sweet love for each other!  I’m usually […]

You know how sometimes you have these people in your life that always hold a special nugget of space in your heart?   That’s Hannah. Hannah and her family lived in Clinton for a short-ish amount of time, but in that amount of time I found a beautiful friend!  While photographing her wedding we reminisced about […]

Ted.  These names mean the world to this beautiful couple – they way their names roll off their tongues is “delicious”, as Elyse would say.  Elyse & Ted wrote their own meaningful words to each other during their ceremony and the resemblance between the two was uncanny.  Elyse spoke […]

Angie & Travis are the most relaxed, down-to-earth couple!  They are adorably sweet on each other and their little cutie, Tenley!  Their wedding day turned out to be a super sweaty August day, but they couldn’t have been better sports about it!  One thing I always keep in my camera bag is tissues – and […]

If you think I’m prone to oversharing, you might be right.  I may have gone a *bit* overboard this time…but how can I say no to all of these beautiful details and incredibly sweet moments??  I just can’t!!  As a wedding photographer, I am a complete fool for the details and the little moments and […]

Jackie & Kyle’s wedding day was full of style and grace.  They were married at the epic St. Ambrose Cathedral in Des moines.  Jackie looked absolutely STUNNING in her long-sleeved lace gown and perfect flowers in her hair!  If you follow me at all you know I’m a sucker for some good details, and her […]
