Ashley and Pat's Wedding

It was a passion I discovered relatively recently, but Wedding Photography is something I just genuinely enjoy. I consider it an honor to be invited to participate with a couple when they're going through one of the most important days of their lives. From the simply elegant to the decadently extravagant, they all have an intrinsic quality that leaves me smiling at the end of the day.

In a day that will bring fond memories for years to come, spending a day with Ashley and Pat this past Spring had me smiling all day long.

From the time I met with Ashley and the bridesmaids in the morning, through the ceremony at the beautiful church, on the party bus at the riverfront, and ending at the reception at the County Fairgrounds, the high level of energy and love coming from this couple was contagious, and I couldn't help but get wrapped up in it.

For mid-day pictures, it was a little cold, but the gentlemen valiantly gave up their coats for the girls, and we took some nice and playful photos down by the Dubuque waterfront, near the Grand River Center. It was a wonderful opportunity to play off of the ideas that everyone was coming up with, and turning it into a fun afternoon.

I'm limited to only 5 pictures for this post, which is a shame since there was a lot of fun I'd like to share. But please feel free to email me if you'd like to see more.

Ashley and Pat, congratulations on your big day! Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of it.
