Last fall, I met Michelle & Ian, and we had a great time downtown Burlington shooting their engagement session. Two days ago, I photographed their wedding in Keokuk, and it was so beautiful! Here are a few of their engagement images…they were up for just about anything!


Time stood still…

These two are die-hard Cubs fans, but unfortunately a trip to Wrigely Field wasn’t viable. So instead, Ian got us into Community Field (he used ot work there). We had a lot of fun, playing catch in the infield and hanging out in the dugout (did I get those terms right? I am not very good with sports!)


This Saturday, just like my previous wedding, started out with rain. By the time we left the salon, though, the sun was out and the skies were bright! It made for some beautiful images in Rand Park after the ceremony. I had a hard time narrowing down which ones to share, to get ready for image overload!




Michelle was a beautiful bride!






This was one of the prettiest cakes I’ve seen!

The reception was a blast! I love Michelle’s brother’s face in this one, and how much fun the guests were having doing the chicken dance!

Kristen G - Is her brother single and in his mid 30s? ; )
Devan - I’m really laughing at that last comment.
This wedding was a blast! Great couple.
Ryan - We look like a emo band in the guy’s pic outside!!!
Michelle - LOVE the pictures! Wendi, you are amazing!
Lisa Walsh - Wow, lots of great stuff there! First off, I’m a Cubs fan, too, so way to go with those E Session shots! Great use of the Mustang, and what an awesome cake! That red brick wall with the stair case was really cool, too.
