Lana + Tom - Engaged

I love Lana and Tom!  Lana and I first met four years ago while I was living in St. Paul, MN, when she and her sister Melynda were visiting the Twin Cities one weekend.  Melynda and I were counselors together at Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp in Story City, IA.  Fast forward to last winter and I get a new client inquiry from Lana!  Low and behold she was living in Iowa City as well, and we were both attending the same church but had never crossed paths.  I'm so glad our paths have crossed again; Tom and Lana are so much fun.  Plus it is always nice to have friends who enjoy the same things I do....eating ice cream, going to Blackstone and playing Wii!  Here are a few pictures from Tom and Lana's engagement session in Iowa City.

 This is one of my favorite's from the day, I love the way Lana is looking at Tom so cute and playful :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Married - Jana & Rick

What a beautiful weekend for an outdoor wedding!  Jana and Rick had a perfect wedding day, which is very fitting since they are perfect for each other.  I had so much fun hanging out with Jana, Rick and their family and friends.  Here are a few pictures from their wedding day.

Engagement - Ryan and Alexas

I LOVE my job!! Last weekend I went out to California to take Ryan and Alexas engagement pictures.  What a dream come true.  Thank you Ryan and Alexas's for being wonderful hosts, it was such a fun weekend.  Beaches, a beautiful couple, wine, yogurtland and lots of laughter - I couldn't have asked for anything more.  I can't wait for your wedding next summer in Iowa City!

Have a great week ~ Minda

Wedding: Sylvia and Will

Sylvia and Will were married on July 31st at Old Brick in Iowa City.  One of the things I love about being a wedding photographer is seeing all the different colors, decorations, flowers, dresses, food - all those little and big details that go into a wedding.  During Will and Sylvia's ceremony different family members and friends spoke words of wisdom, advice and love to Will and Sylvia.  It was one of the most touching ceremonies I've seen, and I've definitely tucked that idea away for my future wedding day.  Thank you Will and Sylvia for letting me capture your wedding day.  Here are a few of my favorites.

    Sylvia's wedding party REALLY got into the picture taking process! :)

    This was probably one of my favorite moments of the whole day

Have a great weekend!
