I finally made it to Iowa and back home…. with a ton of awesome photos.   I met Jackie a few years ago when she was a bridesmaid at a wedding in Illinois and I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to work with her again.  This was my first time to Iowa and could not have asked to visit a cooler town than Pella.  I felt as if I had stepped into a different world, accented by Dutch heritage and an incredible sky.   Normally I show several photos from the reception, and while I have a lot of reception photographs, I chose to showcase some of the photographs from the time I got to spend with just the bride and groom.  It was a treat to be given so much time to create some great photos of just them.

Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding day.

I’ll be out of the office until Tuesday, July 28, 2009 due to a wedding in Pella, IA and Monday I’ll be celebrating our 18 year anniversary with Trisha.
Have a great weekend.

This past Saturday I spent a great afternoon with two wonderful families.  Normally I kind of dread July weddings due to the oppressive heat and humidity, but Kimberly and Chris were blessed with unseasonably mild weather.

They had a beautiful, intimate wedding ceremony in the back yard of her parent’s house that really made for a great setting.  It was a day full of friends and family who were genuinely happy for the couple.

One of the neighbors was gracious enough to allow us access to a very scenic view for some photos of just the couple.

Here are a few of my personal favorites from the day.
