Brenda & Travis

What can I say…. Brenda and Travis were meant to be. This is a true love story that was years in the making. Meeting each other over a decade ago during a weekend cruising session and then finding each other several years later on in life, Brenda and Travis have an awesome story of how the meet and how they got to be where the are now. I am looking forward to sharing their wedding day and I feel privileged to be part of such an event that in my opinion, was a truly match made in heaven.

Des Moines Engagement Photography Session

Cari and Matt traveled all the way from Colorado to meet me in Des Monies, IA at the Beautiful Salisbury House for a slightly damp engagement session.  I had a great time getting to know the both of them, discussing their wedding plans and of course playing in the rain for a few hours. Here are a few images from the session. Enjoy

Winter Wonderland Chicago Engagement Session

Melissa and Ray wanted to have their engagement session take place while Chicago still had  Christmas lights hanging around the city, what a wonderful idea! I had a lot of fun visiting some of their favorite spots around town and getting to know the both them.  It was cold and windy but well worth every minute. After traveling around the city and shooting pictures for a few hours we decided it would be a good idea to get some hot lunch to warm up. It just happened to work out that we were only two blocks from the small bar and restaurant where they first meet.

As night began to fall, so did the snow. The light fluffy kind with huge flakes, it was prefect. What a way to end the Chicago engagement session!

Thanks again for spending the day with me, I am really looking forward to sharing your wedding day with you as well.

Downtown Cedar Rapids Engagement Session

Melissa and Cody wanted to head downtown Cedar Rapids for a last minute engagement session before their upcoming wedding in a few weeks.  I think it was around 34 degrees out and by the time we where finished it was just starting to flurry and my hands were completely numb. I am so glad they decided on an urban setting for the session, we had a great time and the photos turned out amazing!

Below are a few of my favorite images from the session, I hope you enjoy!

Cedar Rapids Iowa Engagement Photography

Here in the Midwest you never know what to expect out of the weather! Fall can be such a short period of time and the fall colors come and go with out any warning.  Krista and Mark were set on having fall pictures despite what the weather would bring. We had to battle against the winds but we had a great time goofing around on one of the last nice days before the dreaded winter months. I am looking forward to shooting their Cedar Rapids wedding.

Here are some sample engagement photos from the session.

Until next time,

Would you mind climbing up on the roof please?

What great sports! I wasn’t sure if they would go for it or not but with out hesitation they climbed up on top of an old shelter house. The beat up wood shingles made for an awesome background. When you have a couple that is open for anything new, it really allows us to be creative, and give them an engagement session they will never forget! Here are a few sample images from our Cedar Rapids Iowa engagement session.

I’m looking forward to the next one!
