bride

Brides-to-be, I'll have a table at the HyVee Bridal show this Sunday (see link for more info).  It should be a great event and I see there will be 18 photographers there, wow.  If you are planning on attending please stop by and say "HI".

Here is a shot from Buddy & Lacey's wedding I stumbled upon. I played with it for quite awhile until I found the right toning. I think it creates the perfect mood for the image. Comments welcome. Click on photo for larger version. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorites from Lindi & Ben's wedding on June 27th, a classic photojournalist style image that tells a story. I captured this scene in the narthyx at the rear of the church after the wedding but the image could also be seen as a before-wedding shot. Lindi's bridemaids were fussing over her and getting her ready to go back into the church to release her guests, while the groom and groomsmen looked on. I created the artistic preset in Lightroom and really love it, to me it gives the image a timeless but yet contemporary look. Click on the photo to see a larger version. Comments welcome! Enjoy!

An absolutely gorgeous wedding for Ben & Lindi at the Plymouth Congregational Church in Des Moines on the 27th, followed by a trip with the wedding party to Greenwood Park and then a fabulous reception at the Temple for Performing Arts in downtown Des Moines. What a great-looking and fun couple. Lindi, you're absolutely beautiful! Ben, you're a lucky guy. Enjoy the pics.
