Wow! I am SO glad this was my first 2018 wedding! My nerves are always on overdrive for the first wedding of the year and this one definitely squashed those nerves within minutes of arriving!
Victoria and James are some of the most genuine & laid-back couples I’ve ever met. The moment I met them, I realized that this day was going to be an absolute blast and a joy to document. Their day was full of excitement, HUGE smiles, loving family members and one of the best parties ever (thanks Massetone DJs and Time Well Wasted Party Bus!) This type of wedding-day is what I wish for all of my couples. Weddings (and the months/days leading up to it) can be a whirlwind of stress and nerves, but Victoria and James were so great! The whole day was very “go with the flow” and turned out so perfectly.
The day started off at the beautiful St. John’s Methodist in Davenport with a reception following at Stoney Creek in Moline.
I always feature some of my favorite images on my blog from each wedding . . . but this wedding? Holy smokes! There were far too many favorites, so stay tuned for part 2 of this blog a little later!

Wow.
2017 was an amazing year! It was the busiest wedding year yet and I had the honor of working with many amazing Quad Cities couples, as well as my very first destination wedding in Hilton Head, South Carolina! Not only did all of these weddings turn out amazingly perfect, but I have a lot of new people I can call friends.
Now that it is 2018 I am really looking forward to a new year and photographing new Cadenza Photo Imaging couples. Wedding photography is something that I am so passionate about. I’ve pushed myself and my work to the max this year and at times, it’s seriously been challenging. My goal is always to focus on telling my clients’ stories, because a wedding is one of the rare opportunities that family and friends are all together. This is an important event that deserves amazing documentation. I am very much in love with candid moments (expect a blog on that soon) but I always enjoy creating images for clients that are bold, unexpected and capture how that particular moment felt.
The following images are a collection of the bold and colorful. Please enjoy!

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!
