Jon & Eliza's wedding

On Saturday we photographed the wedding of Jon and Eliza Lower. It was a very nice day with overcast skies during the wedding and some nice sunshine following. The wedding was very pretty and took place in the newly renovated Christian Church in Runnells. Following the ceremony we headed back into Des Moines to get some fun shots near the capitol building. It's a little bit of a drive from Runnells to Des Moines, so the wedding party had plenty of time to get themselves ready for the pictures! They were a fun group and we took advantage by getting some fun shots. Besides Jon nailing me with the cork from his champaign bottle (I've got a picture to prove it) it went very well and everyone came out unscathed. We ran out of time downtown and had to head to the reception, which was also fun and I could tell that it only got better throughout the night. Here are a few pictures from the day.

This guy kept hounding me the whole night at the reception "Hey photographer, take my picture"...so I did. You guys have some weird friends! Just kidding Jason!

Thanks again guys, I wish you both the best. Talk to you soon.

Jason & Amber's Engagement

With the threat of rain in the forecast all day we were very fortunate that the weather held off long enough for us to get this session in. Armed with a big can of bug spray Jason, Amber and I headed to the park and were rewarded with great soft light and fairly mild conditions. We walked around for a while getting some beautiful shots, and then went to the car and got their dog Max (what a great name) for a few. This wasn't any ordinary dog, Max is an English Mastiff weighing in at around 185....luckily he was a good poser and we got some nice shots of the family. Here are a few from the session.Thanks again guys, we'll talk to you soon!

Matt & Becky's Wedding

We had another great wedding on Saturday. Matt & Becky were just a wonderful couple and their little girl Sophia is so adorable. The weather couldn't have been better for a July wedding which we were very happy for. The wedding went great and the reception immediately followed. It was beautifully set up, and it was a fun touch to play lots of Disney & High school Musical music for the children as they really seemed to enjoy it! Here are a few pictures from their day.

I'm totally jealous that Matt and Becky are reading this from their hotel in Hawaii, but I'm also so very happy for them. Thanks again guys, we look forward to seeing you soon.
