Hello

Kesha & Calvary

A Downtown Iowa City Spring Engagement Shoot

Engaged

They first met in junior high. Seventh grade band class, to be exact. Their first date was years later, “sometime freshman year of college.” Neither of them can remember it. Calvary said, “I feel like it was a simply dinner and a movie, however, after a while, we became unsure what we actually did.” So […]

Maddison & Aaron

Engaged

I remember when I met Maddison. I was photographing Jessica and Chase’s wedding details and Maddison, a bridesmaid, was in the room with me, steaming gowns.

Joelle & Jeffrey

A Danforth Chapel and Englert Theatre Spring Wedding

Weddings

To say I was excited for this wedding is an understatement. Joelle and Jeffrey are truly some of the kindest people I’ve ever most. I had first met Joelle’s sister, Jane, when she was in a wedding I photographed several years ago (hi, Mallory & Alex!) and I was so honored when Joelle reached out […]
