Mark + Lindsie's Wedding

Last week I shot my first, full wedding, for friends Mark and Lindsie. The wedding was at the Hoyt Sherman in Des Moines. Now, I love black and white, but the building and rooms were so beautiful, I actually used a minimal amount, because the colors were so lovely.

For example, the dresssing rooms with Lindsie:






There was beautiful stained glass doors right outside of the gallery that we took photos in front of:




The guys taking portraits outside (it also was a really gorgeous day for October 31 in Des Moines, perfect for a wedding.)



And lastly, Mark and Lindsie taking their first dance. The reception was at West End Salvage, which was photogenic in a really different way, and I got to use more black and white there.

Colin + Rachel Reception

Last week I took recessional photos, and reception photos for Colin and Rachel. They had a dessert reception, so you know it was good!

Mark + Lindsie Engagement

I'll admit, this was a little nerve racking: my first photoshoot like event, engagement photos. But on a beautiful evening in downtown Des Moines it is hard to go wrong.





Aren't they both wonderful? I'm excited to shoot their whole wedding in a month and a half.
