For most trash the dress sessions, we don't really trash the wedding dress. Although there are few brides willing to do this (which is always fun!), most brides really don't want to ruin their dress.
Really, trash the dress sessions are more of an opportunity to take fun creative photos that the bride and groom wouldn't have had time to take on their wedding day.
For Jenni & Micah's trash the dress session we chose to go out in Jasper County to a variety of locations.





What a beautiful bride!
Jenni & Micah booked both an engagement session and a trash-the-dress session with us.
For this couple, we chose to visit Greenwood Park to start out their engagement session and then continue on to East Village. It was a beautiful spring day for this photo session.
Here are a few favorites of the day:
On my next blog post, I'll talk about their trash-the-dress photo session.

James and Bobbi were married a few years ago but we didn't have a blog up and running then so I never had the chance to talk about their photos. James and Bobbi had a quaint wedding in October. It was a warmer than normal day for October which actually led to some pretty sweet outdoor photos.
This summer is packed full of awesome trips. First we head to Decorah, IA for the big Doty family gathering and my big brothers 30th birthday. Then that next week we leave for Bonnaroo in Manchester,TN home of the Roo festival. Karen has never been to a large music and arts festival like this one, and this will be my 4th time attending the massive ROO. We are also planning on riding three days this year on the Registers Annual Group Bike Ride Across Iowa "RAGBRAI" baby ! We will also be riding the 3rd annual The Urban Assault Ride. I guess you can say we like to bike.

A few years a ago I started a summer side job shooting weddings with a fellow friend in Des Moines, Iowa I never knew it would help open my eyes to the possibilities I have before me. So my first post I have to say thank you Steve Nuzum for photographing my friends wedding and giving me the opportunity to work with you.
I first picked up a camera when I was 9 or 10 years old.
