Iowa & Destination Wedding Photographer | Margeaux + Denver

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Last weekend I had the honor of photographing Margeaux & Denver’s wedding.  Although he is not in uniform for the wedding, Denver serves in the navy as a pilot.  He just got back from deployment about a month ago.  What is even more amazing is that 2 of his 3 brothers (all the groomsmen are his brothers) also do the same for the navy.  They all have wives and families and yet they feel the need to serve and protect our country.  So firstly, I want to thank them for EVERYTHING they do.  Also a big thank you to Margeaux and all other military wives/families for sharing their families for our freedom.

Their wedding was at St. Ambrose cathedral downtown and reception was located in the AMAZINGLY beautiful Embassy Club in the Ruan Center.  It was a cold winter day, but they braved the weather for photos and I think it paid off!  Margeaux and Denver, thank you again for letting me share in your special day.  It truly was beautiful!

A look back at 2011 Weddings

Friday, January 6, 2012

Creating this post was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in a long time.  I shot so many weddings in 2011 and I am so thankful for all of them.  At each wedding I shoot 100′s and sometimes 1000′s of photos.  How do I possibly narrow all of them down into one blog post?  Well I tried.  It’s still pretty long and there are so many more photos I WANT to post.  To see a better re-cap of every wedding you’d need to go back through each blog post of the year.

Thanks again everyone!  I had such a wonderful 2011!

These are in no particular order.
