Passionate wedding photographers based out of Des Moines, Iowa. Come on in!
I’ve never posted this many images before on a blog post. I’m not sure the site can handle it but I’m throwing all caution to the wind. This wedding had so many wonderful moments that it deserves a massive post of photographs. This was a beautiful wedding that was located in Ames, Iowa. The weather was absolutely perfect! We started the day off at Allison’s to photograph her getting ready and here is where the story begins…
Busy busy…We were not able to come through with a full preview of Grant and Allison’s wedding last week because we are just now at the end of editing it. I should have several photo updates coming soon!
In other news, I’ve been shooting more film! Specifically through my Mamiya RB67 and a newly purchased Instax 200 (kind of a polaroid clone). I’m really enjoying what I’ve been able to get from Kodak’s 160NC film through the old RB. I’m going to have some VC developed this week and will be sneaking film into our every day work. Hope everyone has a great start to the work week and you’ll be hearing from us soon!

“I hope they don’t want us to pose for any serious pictures because I simply can’t stop smiling.” These were the words I overheard from Grant while Sarah was composing a shot. This was one of the most affectionate and energetic couples we’ve ever photographed. Grant was literally doing handstands after the ceremony.
Sarah and I normally do not like posting “sneak previews” as we like to have, you, the viewer see these images in their entirety. I really enjoy preparing the whole storytelling aspect of the wedding day. But we are just too excited and wanted to post a couple of photographs while everything is still fresh in our minds. We’ll have an entire post prepared by the middle of the week that’ll give the rest of the beautiful details.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Have a great start to the week!

During mother’s day we made a trip out to Winterset to capture something close to my heart. We were asked to come out and do some portraits of my family. Specifically, my mother’s side. During and after the photographs I was reminded how fast time slips by. Family is really important to us and these past few years have been a little rough. We’ve lost some loved ones. My grandfather was the most recent to pass. Earlier was my uncle Tom. Both are terribly missed.
I often revisit memories of my childhood and walking in the front door of my grandparent’s house when they lived in Adel. Grandpa would have his green coffee cup in hand and tell you stories of his past about his life as a painter, as a musician, and as a father. I really loved those stories. They usually got me laughing as he’d sprinkle in a few colorful words and get my grandmother worked up. It was all in good fun and always ended with laughter. I can still see his smile.
Then there was my uncle Tom. Any time you were with him he was going to give you the latest run down of what was going on in the NFL. A Dallas cowboy fan at heart. And he loved people. When family was around he’d light up and sometimes join my grandfather with his snare drum while the guitar was playing. The Lord felt his time here was done and he left us early in his life.
My Grandfather and Uncle are missing in these photographs, but they are always on our hearts and minds. Thanks to all for showing up and I hope you enjoy!
