Cortney & Christian

An Iowa Memorial Union Summer Wedding

Weddings

I have absolutely loved becoming friends with Cortney & Christian over the last year. From our first meeting to their engagement session to that evening shoot, I have always said good night with a big smile on my face. They have that affect on you. Their wedding day was bright and sunshiny, a bit warm, […]

Engaged

They’ve been together for a long time–since they were young highschoolers–and if you’ve spent any amount of time with them, it’s easy to pick up on their deep level of friendship and love for each other.

Weddings

You know how you sometimes meet people and just instantly know they are the kindest, most genuine souls? That’s how I felt when I first met Andrea & James.
