AJ and Andrea had planned a beautiful outdoor ceremony for their May wedding. Rain, cold temps and wind changed all that however. So they held their ceremony next door to their reception hall at the Radisson. It all worked out in the end and Andrea got her blue skies photo she was hoping for later in the day! Check out how gorgeous Andrea looks – I really thought she had a cool old Hollywood classic glam vibe. And I wish I could play a snippet of AJ’s voice. He sounds so much like Matthew McConaughey- sorry ladies, he is very much taken!
I was lucky enough to get to do Trenton’s senior photos this morning downtown Davenport. Trenton is a high school senior at Mercer County High School. He played football among other things and will be headed to Ambrose next year. Mom came along and since Trenton is the baby of the family you can tell she is getting a little emotional thinking of her son all grown up. She is so proud of him and he really seems like just an all around great kid. We started of our session with his car and got some of the dressed up shots mom wanted. We couldn’t have had a better day! Thanks Trenton (and mom) for a great session!
Well, it’s time to kick it into high gear! April is here and that is really the kick off for my wedding season! I’m excited for all the weddings to come as well as the engagement, seniors and family photos I have lined up already as well! So keep an eye on the blog, it should get a lot of love starting now!
Mike and Adrienne are friends with a couple I worked with a couple of years ago – Dave and Kelly (for anyone who has been in the studio, they are the ‘famous’ Centennial Bridge & Bench couple!). So I am very excited, not only to work with another great pair, but to see some familiar faces here soon as well!
You should see these two again soon, as their wedding is in just over two weeks! We made two stops in Bettendorf for their shoot and here is the end result!
Mike and Adrienne decided to show off a little of their dance moves that they had been working on for the wedding!
Last week I got to enjoy a winter E-Session with Pat and Mary. They were engaged in January and will be getting married this summer. We met up at the Isle of Capri Hotel for some photos before braving the February cold for a couple photos outside. Here are a couple from the session.
(I posted a few more on the Best Days Photo Facebook page, become a fan!)

I have a pretty full schedule this year with most of my 2010 booked full of weddings. I will only be taking 4-6 more weddings for the year before closing out 2010. I thought I would give a look at some of what’s to come for the year. I don’t have e-sessions for all of my 2010 couples yet but for the few I do have, I thought it would be fun to post a couple shots from their sessions and introduce you to the fantastic couples I will be working with later this year!
Getting married on new year’s eve is romantic and full of metaphors for starting a new life together. Oh and then there is also that whole party aspect as well. Jessica and Klint’s wedding had all of that.
The wedding was held at St. Mary’s in Iowa City where Jessica’s dad was forced to join some time ago by Jessica because she knew someday she would want to get married in that very church.
It was one of the coldest days we had in a long time, temps were well below zero but it was bright, clear and beautiful. The reception was held at the Sheraton in Iowa City, right in the heart of the Ped Mall and all the craziness of the college bar district on New Year’s Eve.
We started off the day at the Sheraton with Jessica getting ready. She was so calm and collected and just enjoying the pampering before her wedding.
Jessica’s sisters getting emotional and shutter happy as blushing bride gets dressed.
This is my favorite bridal portrait to date. Thanks to the Sheraton for giving me a perfect setting to shoot in and thanks to Jessica for being your beautiful confidant self.
Due to the sub zero temps, shooting outdoors wasn’t something everyone wanted to do. But Jessica and Klint braved the cold for a quick stop at the Old Capital Building.
The rest of the shots took place at Hotel Vitro.
I love this embrace between Jessica and Klint at the end of their first dance. The two have been a couple for over ten years, yet you can see that in this embrace it’s still like their love is brand new. Congratulations you two, thank you for letting me be apart of this wonder start to 2010!
