Back in January, I met another photographer named Allison via OSP (Open Source Photo – an awesome online community for photographers!) when she was looking for assistant photographers to second-shoot a few weddings with her this season. Â We exchanged a few emails, and I made the trip out to Des Moines to meet her in person. Â We seemed to click right off the batt, and I was surprised by how much we had in common! Â Love of running, photography, and both of us have have experience in campus ministry (her with Navigators, me with InterVarsity). Â If ever there could be a great match for photographers to work together, this was definitely it! Â Last weekend was our first time working together, and it was a blast. Â I’m so grateful for the opportunity to second-shoot alongside such a talented and wonderful person. Â Thank you Allison, and I’m looking forward to the next one!
Lucky for me, this wedding was absolutely breathtaking! Â There were so many details, gorgeous florals, and a beautiful couple. Â This post will be LONG, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Â For Allison’s full take on Hilary & Clinton’s wedding day, go here.
These shoes were her inspiration for all the wedding colors. Â Aren’t they fabulous?
Hilary & Clinton chose not to see each other before their ceremony, so we did bridal party photos separate, and snagged a few of just Hilary.
Their ceremony was held at this beautiful outdoor fireplace at Des Moines Water Works Park. Â When I first saw the ceremony site, my jaw dropped – it was like a fairytale!
It may be difficult to tell, but this was one of the first truly hot summer days in Iowa. Â I’m sure guests were grateful for the lemonade and yummy cupcakes!
The florals were beautiful!
I loved this sweet moment between Hilary & Clinton, and their grandparents.
A few from details from their reception, held at Hotel Fort Des Moines.
Congrats to Hilary & Clinton, and thank you for allowing me to be part of their day, Allison!
