Bicycle themed wedding - Quad Cities

If there was ever a wedding in which my skills as a photographer were challenged to the max, this was it! My goal is to never let weather or lighting conditions mess with a couple’s photos. I REFUSE to let it happen and that’s why I’ve focused heavily on using extra lighting in all of my wedding work. 

It literally poured the whole day & natural light was basically non-existent…..but let me tell you, we made it happen! Kodie & Jesse had a beautiful location tucked into the woods which was surrounded by beautiful fall color. Considering the rainy conditions, Kodie remained positive and calm the whole day…even when she had to make the decision to just get married under the tent and move to an alternate location for the reception.

Regardless of weather or unpredictable events, I love rolling with the day and capturing the story. Please enjoy some of my favorite images from this wonderful day!

Adam and Jill’s wedding day on the Celebration Belle was definitely a day to remember. Adam & Jill traveled all the way from Texas and many family and friends traveled a long way as well!

As Jill put it: “This wasn’t just a wedding… it was a family reunion with stories.

Please enjoy these photos & I hope you can see all of the love and laughter that this day was made of.

Wow!! That’s all I can say about this amazing wedding.

Kayla & Shaun had a beautiful ceremony at Faith Lutheran Church in Eldridge, IA & reception at the iWireless Center (am I the only one who still can’t call it TaxSlayer?!) 

Kayla’s beautiful dress was from my very favorite bridal shop, A Storybook Ending & flowers from Melanie’s Flowers by Design

There are so many wonderful words I could say about this couple. From our first meeting to the engagement session, to the wedding, they were so patient, kind and passionate about their photography experience. (You may remember their epic water engagement session!

This is one of the largest wedding galleries I’ve delivered & also some of the best reception/party shots I’ve captured. This wedding celebration is so full of love, fun and laughter which is the heart of what I aim to capture. At the end of the day, the photos are truly what my couples will have forever . . . and I don’t take that lightly!

It was wickedly hard to narrow down my favorites from this wedding, but here they are!
