jessica and rob

this was really a perfect wedding.
jessica & rob were married on an absolutely beautiful day in june. we had a mini heat wave the days leading up to the wedding (so hot i had to cancel all of my outdoor shoots that week). and the morning of the wedding it rained. but the clouds broke and the weather was truly perfect just in time for the wedding. it was a gorgeous and an uncharacteristically cool and non-humid day in iowa. i always chalk that up to good karma on the couples' behalf. 
jessica is darling and gracious and rob is the kind of guy that you hope your daughter finds. (i have four and i'm already praying for a kind soul like rob). all i have to say is he teared up when he saw her for the first time. all of their parents were really great, too. you can tell the come from good families. good peoples. 
on top of that, sticks is just a cool place to shoot. the light is always great and when the weather cooperates, it's definitely one of the best venues in iowa. 
did we mention they honeymooned in greece? 
jess & rob - i have no doubt you have a great future ahead of you. please keep in touch and thanks for allowing us to be a part of your perfect day!

ebban and philip

ebban was born in iowa. philip was born in ireland and grew up in switzerland. 
they met in the states, fell in love and had some pretty serious long-distance dating that made for cool meet-ups all over the world. they got married in may at the iowa arboretum with an international audience in attendance and are currently residing in geneva. we had a really great time with them and love shooting at both the arboretum and hotel pattee (which is open, again!) 
good luck in all of your adventures, ebban & philip! congratulations!
