The evening light always gets all of the glory, but you know what I love just as much? Morning light. When Alyssa and Parker’s original engagement session date got rained out, we moved their session to a morning when there was little chance of rain. The result was fantastic! Alyssa’s embroidered detail dress is a […]

I am so excited to photograph Katherine and Eddie’s wedding celebration next year! We captured their engagement session at Luther College — right at the peak of autumn radiance. All of the trees in Decorah were showing off their best colors in the brilliant evening light. Eddie and Katherine were up for anything, even if […]

Heather and Colton dreamed of the fall colors on Colton’s family acreage for their engagement session. Luckily, the Iowa autumn colors stuck around a bit longer than they have in years past.

You’d never guess this beautiful wedding took place just outside of the Chicago suburbs. Following family tradition, Melissa and Zeke planned their wedding day at his aunt and uncle’s farmstead. Their day was the epitome of fall in the Midwest. We took advantage of the drying corn and bean fields as the background to some […]

It is definitely starting to feel like fall around here. The temps are drifting downward, which felt so refreshing for Jill and Tyler’s Wisconsin wedding. This was not the first, but the third time I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Jill and Tyler. I’ve known Jill for years since we grew up in the same […]

What a dream day for Debbie and Luke at Ashton Hill in Cedar Rapids! There were so many heartfelt details. Their mothers’ wedding gowns were displayed alongside photos from their weddings.
