Danielle & Derek Part One | Iowa Wedding Photographer

I'm going to warn you now: I may have gone a little overboard with this post. In fact, it will be split up into two posts. This one is just prepping you for the next one: getting ready pictures, first glance, and then a sneak peek at some portraits of the bride and groom. Soon to come are the ceremony and reception pictures.

Danielle & Derek's wedding was my last wedding for 2010 and also occurred on one of those unnaturally warm/wonderful/sunny November days. I started off the day by meeting up with Danielle for her hair and make-up appointment, who (I might add) already had happiness radiating off of her. Then we headed over to the church to meet up with Derek, take some pictures, and watch them get married! There are plenty of book references in this wedding, due to Danielle being a librarian and their shared interest of reading. I believe Danielle's dad said during his speech that he knew he'd have to get used to Derek being around when he caught them both reading on the couch one day. I have to say, they are pretty amazing together.

Ashley & Andrew: Iowa Engagement Photography

Ashley and Andrew met at ISU while working in the campus library. They tried to tell me that they're not photogenic. I beg to differ. These two were amazing to work with and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in September!







Really, look at how gorgeous these two are:

Yesterday I met Ashley and Andrew, they made my job easy. Really, I don't know how I'm going to choose pictures for the full blog, it's going to be close to impossible not to include them all! We started in downtown Ames:


Then, before they had to drive back to Omaha, we ran over to campus and took some pictures by Lago, where they will be getting married on Sept. 4th next year!


Here's a little preview of the fun to come:
