A Year of Weddings

I photographed 2 of my friend’s weddings earlier this year. First up was Gavin and Michele’s reception at a park in NE Iowa. It was a great party that Gavin DJ’d himself and they served some of their homemade beers. There were also eagles and deer everywhere. My kids had fun dancing.

Next up was Andy and Sarah’s wedding ceremony at a park in central Iowa. Ryker got to be the ringbearer. It was a beautiful day and there was a disc golf course nearby so they wanted to putt/toss the bouquet into the basket. They scored!

5 Year Anniversary

Me and Alyssa's 5 year wedding anniversary is this Saturday so we got out her dress to take photos of it with Mia... and Ryker.

Valentine's Day

This is my Valentine's Day "card" for my wife. I made this from one of our wedding photos that I had on my phone. My wife loves Edgar Allen Poe, so I customized one of his poems at the end there with her name. I added the text using the Phonto app on my Galaxy Note II and then edited it in PicSayPro and Instagram.

“But our love was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Alyssa B.”

Save the Date!

I designed the save the dates for my wedding. I just gave my camera to Alyssa's mom with the right settings at a local park. Our colors are black, red and white so this was pretty easy. We bought 100 4x6s at Walgreens for 15 cents.
