Mr + Mrs Doubek || Waterloo, IA Wedding Photographer

September 18, 2015

Sara and I attended the same high school, but since we didn't run in the same circles, we never met. Fast forward to this spring, when I received an email from her asking about engagement and wedding photos! It was so wonderful to spend time getting to know these two over the course of the summer, and their wedding was such a simple and personal affair. Jake and Sara wed at the Waterloo Center for the Arts, the perfect location for wedding, reception, and bridal party photos! Also…my favorite part of the day might have been Sara's first look with her son. He was so shy and yet so happy, and it is something that I'm sure he'll remember for years to come:)

Mr + Mrs Rouse || Celebration Farm, Iowa City

August 30, 2015

“I haven’t seen her
For a month or so
Young love feels like finding buried gold”

— Ben Rector, Paris

Kyle and Bailie met in college. Over time, a friendship and then relationship was built. Even as Kyle switched universities (to the other side of the country!) to pursue pastoral ministry, and Bailie finished her degree and began working a few more states eastward, their relationship has stayed strong. This is not due to their own strength, bur rather, that their relationship was founded on Christ, His love, and His grace.

Kyle and Bailie had such a perfect wedding day! Not only was the weather wonderful for their outdoor wedding at The Celebration Farm, but joy was so evident in every moment & step along the way! From their time praying together before the ceremony (but no first look!) to the time of worship during the ceremony, from enjoying the yummiest Mediterranean food for dinner to dancing the night away with dear friends and family, this day was 100% them & absolutely glorious to behold.

Wedding Venue: The Celebration Farm
(with help from Katie!)
Caterer: Oasis Falafel
Dessert: Heyn's Ice Cream
Florist: Hyvee Floral

Mr + Mrs Howe || Mayowood Stone Barn Wedding || Rochester, MN

July 27, 2015

Collin and Jackie wed on an absolutely beautiful June day. Surrounded by friends and family, they began forever together under a wide and weathered tree…while watering their own small sapling & promising to nurture their love in the same way. The Howes had a Mayowood Stone Barn wedding in Rochester, Minnesota—this is now one of my favorite wedding venues! Future brides, pleeeease book this venue & hire me! ;) I won't have to think twice about shooting here again. From the cleverly named "Bridle Room" to the swing hanging from a property tree to the lovely view of a summer sunset through the corn, the Mayowood Stone Barn has it all!

Atherton Wedding | Cedar Falls, IA

July 3, 2015

Rachel and Grant have a ton of love for one another. (#athertonoflove) This day threatened us with rain, but ended up with just the perfect amount of overcast skies for beautiful portraits & the sun even shone during the reception at the end of the evening! These two are full of life & adventure (they chose Australia as their honeymoon location, so that tells you something!) and they're working hard to make a difference. Rachel is currently in medical school, and Grant is working hard to support her. Together, they make a great team. I can't wait to watch you two fall more in love over the years!
