You know how sometimes you meet someone and you realize they are your long lost friend?  That’s what it was like meeting Mikkiah & Matthew for the first time.  They came over to our house and we sat on the couch and ate monster cookies while discussing their dream wedding. My heart did a giddy […]

Who are the sweetest people on earth?  Annette & Tyler. And now they are the sweetest couple on earth. Mr. & Dr. Roberts. I’m going to get straight to the point and say, ever since their wedding day, I’ve been dreaming up reasons to hire dueling pianos for a party.  Our 10 year wedding anniversary?  […]

This day felt like hanging out with friends while oozing creative juices.  That sounds creepy.  But I could photograph this day 1000 times.  The intimate nature of Emily & Dustin’s wedding party, mixed with the most epic party imaginable made for the best of both worlds.  Word to the wise – keep the wedding party […]

My first wedding at the new Winan Creek Barn & Event Venue was knock-you-out drop-dead-gorgeous.  Everything from the bride & groom (obvi), to the reception space, and the sweet details – I had *heart* eyes all day.  I could talk about how fun this wedding was, or how adorable their daughter Lucy is, but honestly, […]

We started off with a few family photos with Megan, Cody, & Little Lucy and I have NEVER seen a two year old do as well as she did in the freezing cold!!!  She was smiling, playing, and running around all while shivering and clattering her little teeth.  We even tried to warm her up […]

pumpkins. mums. a greenhouse. an adventure through a grass field. the most perfect dreamy light.  a sleek water backdrop with the most classically elegant outfits.  a naturally romantic + gracefully confident couple. What doesn’t this session have?? I have always always always wanted to photograph a session at Blackmore Nursery in Mason City and it […]

What made this wedding so wonderful??? Everything. The way Nick looks at Brianna. The easy laughter between N & B + every single family member + every single wedding party friend — this was one of the easiest weddings to get those real life loving hugs and those smiles so big your eyes squint moments.   […]

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 […]
