The Volz Family

Family & Kids

Katie and Shane just celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary and I was so excited to see this whole family again! The kids have, of course, grown, but even still, whoa! (Three years in kid years is a whole lot of change!) We’ve had unusually warm weather (read: summer temperatures) so everyone who scheduled fall photos […]

Engaged

Laura and Kevin met online two years ago. “After that first initial contact, we were messaging paragraphs to each other every night for about a week before we were able to go on our first date,” Laura said. “Our first date was a dinner date at Thai Spice in Iowa City,” Kevin recalled. “I was […]

Kelli & Michael

Weddings

“Would Kelli from last Monday ever believe this???” I texted to Kelli two days after the wedding. “Never,” she replied. We were in the midst of pop-culture entertainment overwhelm following the surprise appearance of Camila Cabello showing up to sing the father/daughter dance song, “First Man.” We have both been interviewed and videos of Kelli, […]
