Alexa + Patrick [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

Alexa and Patrick are planning an October wedding this year, and we met up with them two weeks ago to shoot their engagement session downtown. We started out at Bo James, where they met, and also ventured to IC Uglys (a favorite place of theirs to grab a beer) and the Pentacrest.

These two are a ton of fun and I'm super excited for their wedding day. They love to laugh, and are both super funny, and we had a great time getting to know them better over pizza & beer after the session (turns out we have a mutual love for The Walking Dead, among other things!).

Alexa and Patrick - I hope you like this sneak peek! Looking forward to October!

I adore this little lady, not only is she always dressed to the nines, but she is just the cutest! We had a great time hanging out with her a week or so ago, and got some great stuff. I especially love how she's posing herself these days, too funny. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Emily + Connor [Iowa City, IA Celebration Farm Wedding Photography]

First, let me preface this post by saying I think this might be the largest wedding post I've ever done, so my apologies for the vast amount of photos. It was such a beautiful day, with a wonderful couple, that it was impossible to narrow it down for the blog.

Emily and Connor were married at Celebration Farm, on what turned out to be a gorgeous May 25th. The outdoor ceremony was one of the most touching and fun I've seen, Emily and Connor brought so much of themselves into every detail and I may or may not have teared up a few times. ;) This wedding was full of gorgeous details and flowers (by the incomparable Julie at Julie's Fountain of Flowers), a beautiful couple, and a super fun bridal party. Emily & Connor's wedding was definitely one of THE parties of the year, and the dance floor was packed until the very end thanks to Travis at Unique Events! The entire day was coordinated by Jaclyn Kretzschmar and went flawlessly from start to finish.

Emily and Connor - thank you so much for not only choosing us to photograph your day, but for welcoming us like friends. You guys are the best, and your wedding was both stunning and fun. It was a pleasure to document it, I hope you love the sneak peek!

Emily's sister and cousin gave a adorable and funny toast, a custom song for Emily and Connor to "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid.












The always fabulous Holly from Tru Salon changed Emily's hair to a gorgeous up-do mid-reception to go with her dress change for the remainder of the night!
