Jeff and Stephanie originally hail from Iowa, and they met here while in college. After graduating, they moved out to Colorado, where it sounds like they are now quite the outdoorsy and adventurous couple! Even though their wedding day was the first time that we got to meet in person, I have really enjoyed getting to know these guys, and I think they could be friends with anyone. They are good people, and they had an incredible Saturday for their wedding. Jeff tried to parlay his wedding day luck of getting his girl, great weather, an epic sunset and the presence of family/friends with a bet on Iowa State to pull off a big upset over Oklahoma ...

It's nice that Halloween is now the unofficial start of winter, right? We spent the first part of winter last weekend in southeast Iowa for Scott and Kayla's early November wedding. The ceremony was at St Mary's Catholic Church is West Point, Iowa, and that is where Scott and Kayla finished getting ready. There was crying that happened before any first looks, so you knew the emotion was going to be rich throughout the day. After getting dressed, Kayla was able to get some tears out of both her dad and Scott during their first looks before the ceremony. As I mentioned, it was not the warmest day of the year on their wedding day, but we still d ... READ MORE

This fall has been nuts weather-wise, and I feel like it has been cooler than usual. We've had a few nice days sprinkled in here and there, but generally it's been pretty cold, and now we're even looking at some October snow?! Aaron and Evelyn's wedding was at Bella Sala in Tiffin, Iowa, and they were planning an outdoor ceremony to take advantage of the venue's picturesque waterfall and landscaping. But, they were dealt one of the fall's colder than usual days and eventually decided against getting married outside (it was the right choice, guys). On the bright side, it was also supposed to rain all over their wedding day, but fortunately the ... READ MORE

Matt and Mattie had a stunning wedding day that Mattie declared was, "Perfect in every way." Admittedly, the day did not start out perfectly, but these guys brushed off the unfortunate early morning stress with such grace that it made their parents proud. It was a beautiful thing to see and experience. Matt and Mattie are a stand-up couple, and behind these two are stand-up parents that love their kids deeply. It has been such a privilege getting to know these families and their hearts. It truly made the day a privilege for us to be a part of. We photographed Mattie's sister's wedding last April, so it was a nice reunion of sorts. The day sta ... READ MORE

Keep your shit together. That was the sentiment stitched on a hanky that was gifted to Ashley by one of her bridesmaids. Neither Ashley, nor anyone else, kept their shit together for this day. Ashley consistently set up situations throughout the day that inspired ugly cries. She was aiming for ugly crying and scolded her dad for not completely losing it when she gifted him a sentimental hanky of his own. I should have known what was coming because she even cried the first time we got together to talk about their wedding day and if we would be a fit for each other! I mean, I'm not complaining over here, because if you follow our blog at all, y ... READ MORE
