Katie + Luke [Cedar Rapids, IA Engagement Photography]

I met Katie (and her lovely parents) this summer, and I was so thrilled when I got the email that she and her fiance Luke would be booking me for their July, 2013 wedding. Katie and Luke truly have something special, namely, chemistry...by the boatload. Not only are they a dream to photograph, they were so much fun to be around. I don't think I've laughed so much in quite awhile!

Katie and Luke, you two are so incredibly funny and sweet, and you really made my job so easy last Saturday evening. I was excited to photograph your wedding before this session, but now I truly cannot wait! I hope you guys enjoy this preview, know that it was nearly impossible to narrow it down to these. :)

This image is one of my absolute favorites!

Katie did a great job of scouting the session location, these stairs were perfect.

The H Family: Elizabeth and Pete [Mt. Vernon, IA Child Photography]

Early on Saturday morning, I met the H family in Mt. Vernon to take holiday photos of Elizabeth and Pete. I have to say, these kids are troopers! It was chilly, and the ground was still pretty damp from the rain we received on Friday but they did a great job! Their English Goldendoodle Harry (named due to his very furry coat) came along for some photos as well, what a sweet pup.

Huge thanks to the entire H family, it was a pleasure meeting you all! I hope you enjoy the preview.

I asked Pete what his favorite food is, he said "steak!". He also loves tractors (John Deere), a true Iowa boy at heart!!

Life via Instagram: My Sister's Wedding

Those of you that read this blog know that last weekend, my younger sister Rachel got married to a wonderful man named Matt. I really wanted to just relax and enjoy the day, but since my phone was nearby most of the evening - I couldn't resist taking a few snapshots. So, here's my view of Rachel and Matt's wedding (reception mostly, with maybe one or two from the rehearsal dinner) via Instagram.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!
