Emily & Jason 05.23.09

Ceremony: St Theresa's Catholic Church Des Moines, IA
Reception: Iowa Historical Building Des Moines, IA

Emily and Jason are such a great couple. At the rehearsal they were forced to make the last minute decision to move their reception inside instead on the historical building patio like they had originaly planned. Despite the threat of thunderstorms and change of plans they were in high spirits! There were so many adorable kids not only in the wedding but at the reception as well. Emily read to a couple of the girls before getting into her dress and I was lucky enough to be there to get a few photos of it! As we finished photos at the Capitol it started to sprinkle!! Even though most people don't want rain on their wedding day I was happy for Emily that at least she made the right decision, earlier in the day we talked about how disappointing it would be if she moved it indoors for nothing. I think that we were all happy that they had made the decision to have the reception indoors and it was a unique experience Not only was I able to witness a couple start their lives together I was able to do it surrounded by reminders of the past.

Here are a few of my favorites!!

Wendi & Adam 05.09.09

Ceremony: Lutheran Church of Hope, West Des Moines, IA
Reception: Marriott, West Des Moines, IA

I had the privilege of meeting Wendi and Adam last Nov. for a portrait session. Since then they have moved out of Iowa. It's sad when the state losing such great people. They are truly one of the most caring people I've had the opportunity to meet and capture!! The sun was shining and it was an fabulous day to get married!! One of the little boys (Eric) had some rocking Rainbow socks on. He insisted I take a picture of them and I was more than happy to oblige!!

Enjoy some of my favorites!!!
