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 […]

Steph’s strikingly gorgeous blue eyes represent Nathan & Steph’s relationship well : chill.  It is obvious they are naturally themselves around each other & complement one other well.  PLUS they  have the cutest pup that is one of the most well-trained dogs we’ve seen (and he has his own ISU jersey!!!).   Steph grew up going […]

We have been extreeeemely blessed with gorgeous weather for all of our spring and summer weddings so far!! I swear at a week out, it ALWAYS says rain, but never trust it until the day of!  Seriously!!  Luke & Bianca got married on a gorgeous June day in Iowa City! L & B are an […]

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 […]

A + M were married at the Historic Park Inn in Mason City, and although we live here, we’d never really explored its details!  The straight lines, moody lighting, short ceilings (good thing we’re short!), and speak easy bar in the basement take you back to another era!  If you haven’t been – you definitely […]

Romance.  Myriah was specific in that she wanted romantic engagement photos, and boy did they bring their romance game!  How can it not be romantic with a marine uniform and a long black dress??  It just screams Nicholas Sparks novel! I also got to use our front yard as a backdrop for the first time!!  […]

Matt & Jess got married on a BEAUTIFUL spring day at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines!!  The trees were just starting to bloom, the sun was shining, and the Agricultural building couldn’t have been more grand with it’s gorgeous windows and exposed brick! These two love birds were giddy with excitement – I’m […]

So what is a First Look, anyway??  A first look is when a specific time is setup on the wedding day for the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony!  This is a very sweet and unique moment of your day that you will remember forever!  Now I know the old tradition […]
