Missy and Grant’s Wedding

November 19, 2008 – 3:06 pm

Missy and Grant were married in early October at Kickapoo Creek Winery. The fall colors were getting really brilliant by that time, and the grapes leaves were beginning to turn as well. It was a fabulous day filled with fall color and happiness. Look at Missy’s bouquet…isn’t it fabulous?

Kelly and Jon

November 6, 2008 – 12:21 pm

Kelly and Jon were married on a beautiful day in early fall.  The ceremony was held at St. Mathias Church in Muscatine, Iowa, and the weather was just perfect.

Kelly’s flowers were glorious shades of red, and she had her mom and dad’s wedding ring tied under the bouquet.

Kelly’s girls were dressed in elegant black…

A few last minutes smiles just before the ceremony…

Catching Up

August 26, 2008 – 6:53 pm

I have neglected my blog lately, but the good news is that I am finally catching up a bit! Sharing a few images from a wonderful family reunion that I was able to share with a warm and friendly family. We did lots of family groupings, but my favorites were some of the more candid shots. I loved this series…

And how cute is she?

And here’s her big brother :)
