The C Family [Solon, IA Family and Child Photography]

How cute is this family?! I know I say that all the time, but I really have the most gorgeous clients!! Not only are these three adorable, but the nicest family ever. I was greeted very quickly by Nora, along with her Carebear Funshine. Brought back some memories from my childhood - I used to love the Carebears! She couldn't wait to show me around the yard, and definitely wanted to make sure to show me her red swing. She was just the best - and like her parents, super photogenic! Here are a handful of my favorites from the session, I hope you enjoy!

Suzi + Andy [North Liberty, IA Love Photography]

A year and a half ago, I photographed Andy and Suzi's surprise proposal, followed by a surprise engagement party and just adored them! Sadly, I was booked on their wedding date, and they found another photographer to document the big day. Due to unfortunate circumstances (and quite frankly, my worst nightmare), their wedding photos were lost. After taking the time to come to terms with the fact that their images were never going to be recovered, they contacted me about doing a session just after their first anniversary. Of course, I was beyond willing to be a part of making new memories, and documenting the beautiful marriage they have created. To make the day special, they gave each other anniversary cards (tears were flowing all around - so sweet!), and I surprised them with cupcakes at the end! I know these images will never replace the ones they lost, but I hope that they will look at these and have new memories to add to the ones from their wedding day.

Josie + Brandon [Iowa City Wedding Photography]

Josie and Brandon had an absolutely stunning wedding at the Barn on the Ridge in Burlington, IA at the end of August. The peach and gold details were perfection, and they had the most beautiful weather for their outdoor ceremony. Their ceremony was officiated by the always amazing Scherie Gates and included a unique unity ceremony where the bride and groom honored their agriculture background by blending corn and soybeans into a singular vase. Immediately following the ceremony, the entire bridal party hopped on a hayrack for a ride around the beautiful Iowa countryside. The reception was of course, beautiful, and the desserts from Bread Garden were a huge hit (I'm fairly certain the mini pies didn't last long!). Congratulations again to Josie and Brandon, and thank you to all of their family and friends for making Josh and I feel so welcome! It was an honor to photograph your day, and I hope you enjoy this sneak peek.
