I photographed Ruth and Marshall’s engagement session in Iowa City on one of the first warmer days of the year. It was really great to be able to shoot more outside without freezing so we got to take some pictures around the Old Capitol Building.

Can’t wait to shoot their wedding at the Mariott Coralville. Until then we used the hotel as a background for some engagement photos too.

For my first time being in Davenport I think I couldn’t have had a better day. The first location we chose for this engagement session was Lagomarcino’s – a heaven for chocolate lovers. Candy and chocolate for breakfast? It doesn’t get any better than this. Pay them a visit if you happen to be in Moline or Davenport.

We even braved Iowa’s cold winter weather to get some outdoor shooting.

Ended the session at Hotel Blackhawk.

Can’t wait to photograph their wedding ceremony at Salisbury House and Gardens and the reception at Simpson Barn in Des Moines.

I had a great time today shooting Lindsay & Karl’s engagement session in Davenport.
The last location for our session was the hip and historic Hotel Blackhawk which was recently opened after being renovated. It looks amazing and I am sure it will be a very popular venue for weddings. Can’t wait to shoot there again!

We struggled a little to get this shot in the elevator but it turned out pretty well so I thought it would make for a great preview.

I spent a great day in Chicago with Rachel and Preston for their engagement session. We started the day in Glencoe, at the beach and ended it at the Navy Pier.

Had a great time shooting this engagement session in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The fact that Emily and Josh are one of the cutest couple I’ve ever met probably helped a lot.
