Niki and Sam both teach music, in different schools in Northern Iowa. In fact, they technically meet in college at the University of Northern Iowa (go figure and Go Panthers!) but didn’t start to actually interact until a few years later, post college. The first official date happened at Cup of Joe in downtown Cedar Falls, so it made perfect sense to revisit this cozy spot during Niki and Sam’s engagement photos! (Also, they did fantastic, despite random outbursts of rain during their engagement pictures.) Outside of teaching music, singing together in choir, and watching musicals (do you sense a theme?) they enjoy playing board games, dreaming together, and eating 4 Queens Ice Cream! I can’t wait to photograph these wonderful humans next summer when they finally wed :)

<3 you two!!!
