WE’RE GLAD YOU’RE HERE!

Mara and Nathan’s relationship started out in only the best Iowa way possible – on a tractor. Set up by friends during planting season and in the midst of COVID, all the magic started out in that field! So it was only appropriate that we photographed their engagement session in a beautiful natural setting.
Getting-ready shots have a bigger meaning behind them, and I’ll explain why: They are an important part of telling the complete beginning-to-end of your wedding day. The pictures captured during this time will serve as moments when you went from “me” to “we.” While you are enjoying your last hours of singleness with people most important to you (besides your best friend about to see you walk down the aisle), I’ll be there so you can cherish these laughable moments forever. You and your friends will adore these photos, and you’ll be drop-dead gorgeous in them too. Here are my

Because of your ceremony start and end time, there is often a significant gap between your ceremony and reception. Lots of couples have questions and concerns about this, but we’re here to help! Here are a few tips that will help
One of my favorite things I was able to do this spring was meet up with Kate & Miles in Chicago for their engagement photos! I drove out for the weekend (we camped with our kids overnight and made a weekend trip out of it) and spent half of a day exploring downtown Chicago, visiting all the best spots. It’s been a few years since I’ve photographed in Chicago, so it was such a treat to revisit several locations along Lake Michigan, and find a few new ones as well!
