They fell for each other!! Danielle & Tanner

OK so I will start by saying no I didn't photograph Danielle's fall at the reception.....many asked if I did.  I feel it is my job to make sure the bride looks her best the wedding day.  By the way Danielle looked awesome!  I wanted to make sure she was OK........by then too late.

There were so many fun moments their wedding day.  At one point I came in the bride's room to find Danielle at the window with her dress over the edge of the pull out window.  She just smiled and laughed that Danielle laugh that is so contagious.  Tanner and the guys had so many, like the JCPenny model pose Tanner gave me in the church or the boys and their "leg shot", disturbing on a few levels:).

They day with all the little fun moments also was filled with emotion and family.  both Tanner and Danielle have great families that support and love them...you can clearly see that!!

Thanks for a terrific day!

Lets blow this pop stand!

Danielle, Tanner and the peeps!

Time for a new perscription.

It's father/daughter thing...I understand.

Nicole & Jameson in "the" city!

For all you Hawk fans that would be Iowa City.  I met Nicole and Jameson on the west side where we starting doing some shots in an old part of the campus....or looked like it was a part of the campus at one time.  (I don't know Iowa City very well).  Then we moved down near the old Capital and campus town area.  I had a very laid back and fun time getting to know Nicole and Jameson.  They were super cool about doing anything and very natural in their affection towards one another. 

Help them out by leave a comment!  For every unique individual comment they get a dollar credit towards their images. 

Thanks guys for a great time!!

Trash the Dress

OK, so I have been wanting to do a trash the dress session for some time.  Now, before I start I want to let everyone know that I respect the dress.  But the purpose of the TTD session though is to represent the post wedding stress release and fun that can be had in the dress.  Myth #1 my daughter will wear it....no probably not.  Do you wear your mom's dress; no you wanted your own.  Myth #2 the dress represents the beauty of my wedding day.  Well yes in a way, but you have a wonderful husband to show for the day and by the way...the dress can be cleaned.  What is represented by this piece of clothing immortalized in plastic?  Have some fun and enjoy a little craziness!

Kerry is former client of mine and we have been trying to schedule this for some time and we finally got it on the calendar.  You know what is funny; I was so pumped to do this and trust me I had a great time, but I still found myself wanting to hold back and respect the dress.  Well, time, Kerry and my assistant Amanda helped me get down and dirty...literally.  Enjoy the images and let me know what you think!!  By the way, if you are one of my brides or not, I will not charge a session fee for a TTD session...I want to do more and the sky is the limit, so start thinking about it!!
