Hello

Maria & Austin

A Downtown Iowa City Summer Wedding

arrow

Weddings

They met in Iowa City during medical/dental school–she’s now a surgeon and he’s a dentist–and they have family close to the area so even though they now reside in Texas, where Maria is doing her surgery residency, it made sense for them to come back to the place where it all started for them, right […]

Kaylee & Kile

A Solon Iowa Summer Wedding

Weddings

When we arrived at the church Saturday morning, it was overcast; a lovely respite from the intense heat in the weeks leading up to their wedding day.

Tarrah & Jacob

A Bella Sala Spring Wedding

Weddings

We’ve had a strange spring this year wherein it could be 70 degrees one day and 30 the next. Coats got put away, then pulled back out. Maybe you’ll need rain boots? Maybe you’ll need sandals? Maybe shorts? Maybe winter hats. So in the week leading up to Tarrah and Jacob’s wedding, it was rainy […]
