Hello

Rachel & Max

A Downtown Iowa City Fall Engagement Shoot

Engaged

Auto maintenance class isn’t where you’d expect to meet your future spouse, but that’s just where Rachel & Max first spotted each other. It was near the end of senior year. Just a short time later, on Memorial Day weekend, they had their first date. She says they kept it low-key, off-roading and shooting at the […]

Sara & Shawn

Engaged

They first met 6 years ago. She had a rare day off from softball in the middle of the summer and was hanging out with a friend, slowly swinging and talking at the elementary playground behind her friend’s house. He rode up on his bike with one of his friends–a mutual friend of Sara’s–and it was […]

Because we had a quiet start to the day, I had plenty of time to photograph all of Anne’s stunning details, which she had made sure to […]

Bridget & Jason

A Riverside Casino Summer Wedding

Weddings

The church was quiet when we entered. A faint bustling could be heard in the adjacent halls, but the sanctuary was peacefully void of noise. The girls were hanging out in a nearby room, their dresses hanging up and their bags spilling over with shoes, accessories, and makeup. There were sandwiches and snacks to munch […]
