Ashlyn + Adam :: Charles City, Iowa Wedding Photography

Ashlyn and Adam got married on an absolutely beautiful fall day in Charles City, Iowa. Not only was the weather stunning, so were Ashlyn and Adam! I really enjoyed photographing their wedding for many reasons. Charles City is my hometown and it was so much fun to take photos in locations that I have always lived in and around, but had never photographed. We took photos in Central Park, at Home Base and along the Cedar River. It is also always great to photograph a wedding where there were so many old friends to see.

I am so glad that Ashlyn and Adam asked me to photograph their wedding. It is really so lovely to see people that I have known for years begin a marriage. It is a privilege to photograph one of the most important days in their life and I am happy that that invited me to share it with them and their families. Congratulations Ashlyn and Adam! Many, many good wishes for your marriage!!!

Amanda + Chris on the Farm :: Iowa Engagement Photography

Last week I had the pleasure of taking Amanda and Chris's engagement photos. Amanda is one of my  oldest and best friends, I think we have known each other since  kindergarten! Amanda and I are both planning our weddings, so over the past few months we have been sending emails and commiserating over wedding plans.  Amanda also had a ton of good ideas for her engagement photos and even brought props - so fun! We met in our hometown, Charles City, Iowa and headed out to the farm early in the morning. I managed to avoid stepping in the cow pies. We finished up the morning on a vintage couch, which Amanda pretty much searched all over the state of Iowa for. It was a blast taking their engagement photos; lots of laughs were shared.  I am honored that Amanda and Chris asked me to take their engagement and wedding photos and be part of their special day. I can't wait to shoot their wedding and see all their fun ideas!!

Early spring sun! The buds were just out in Iowa.



 Amanda and Chris are going for a vintage feel to their wedding, so I made a few of their photos look a bit more vintage-y.





 How cute is the love banner?!?! Amanda and Chris made it!





They also got the t-shirt made!

 This was pretty much too cute to not add :)

 We couldn't find a tractor, so a neon dump truck did the trick.







Classy!



More vintage feel.
