Michelle and Justin were married on Saturday at the new Carper Vineyard & Winery in Norwalk, Iowa. What a great new venue in the Des Moines area for outdoor weddings! It just happened to be the hottest day of 2018 so far, phew! Their outdoor ceremony was at 97 degrees, yikes! Let’s hope that qualifies...

Courtney and Brad kicked off our 2018 wedding season with the most gorgeous wedding at Adventureland Park in Altoona, Iowa in the Palace Theater. I can’t say enough great things about these two!

Taylor and Billy had the most beautiful Iowa barn wedding at Red Acre Barn just a few minuets south of Des Moines. The night even ended with quite the bang! They went all out on florals with the amazing Shelly Sarver Designs, as always her arrangements blow us away! Despite the 93 degree day they...
I had a great (but cold holy cow!) January engagement session with Eric & Meg. You’d never know it was 30 degrees, and I swear they didn’t stop smiling the entire session. You can tell Meg is originally from Wisconsin, she just braved the cold no questions asked! You two are so adorable together! I’ve known...
OH MY GOSH how cute are these two?! They just rocked their fall engagement session! Thanks for listening to my crazy ideas and checking out some new places with us for photos. I can’t believe this beautiful fall weather has stuck around so long this year, 60+ in November in Iowa is unheard of. Can’t...
What a beautiful August day for a wedding! I was so excited when Morgan and Matt told us about the vintage fire truck for portraits. I mean how cool is that! Matt is a volunteer firefighter for the City of West Des Moines. Apparently someone donated the beautiful vintage fire truck for firefighters to use...
Another awesome June engagement session with Jared & Alecia last week. They are one of our (many) May 2017 wedding couples!

Megan and Wade had the coolest wedding day planned. We absolutely loved shooting at the Embassy Club downtown, what a VIEW!!! Seriously. So cool to be on the 38th floor at sunset overlooking the Des Moines skyline. The day started out with rain but they handled it light a champ, Spring 2016 = the year...
We are incredibly excited to announce we are featured on the COVER and feature story for the Early Spring 2016 edition of the wonderful Heartland Wedding Ideas Magazine with this amazing Fall 2015 wedding!

I had such a blast taking some photos for our gym on Friday night. Anytime Fitness Downtown had their public grand opening ribbon cutting and celebration as well as wanted a few overall photos of the awesome new space. What a great location downtown in Des Moines. I sure wish this would have been open when we lived...
It has been one crazy busy (and wonderful) year for us! Finally blogging a bunch of our 2015 weddings we haven’t had time to do so yet! This one is one of my favorites from June with the fantastic Glenda & Brad. Getting ready, ceremony and reception all took place at Embassy Club West. The ceremony...
Hannah and Carsten were Indianola high-school sweethearts, you can tell within just a few moments of being with them that they are simply perfect for each other.
