I feel so blessed to have met Aaron and Stacey! Stacey is in love with pictures I think just as much as I am, and its fun to get giddy and excited about them with her! They are truly an amazing couple, putting God and faith in their relationship, and just to see the two of them together makes me happy. 

I love Quincy, Illinois!  They're buildings are so authentic and detailed, and they make for amazing backgrounds. I was on creative overload the day of their wedding!  We photographed at the beautiful Neiman horse farm outside of Quincy and in downtown on the square.  They brought along their vintage Ford truck and it was just an amazing day all the way around!

We celebrated their reception at the beautiful Ambiance, an amazing venue inside and out.  And we even got to see the Avenue of Lights and take them through the Christmas lights in their limo, it was so much fun! 

Take a peek at some of our favs from their day!  Thank you Aaron and Stacey for letting us be a part of your beautiful day, we truly do feel so blessed to call you friends.  Congratulations! 

Jason and Marissa had a perfect fall day for a wedding, it was beautiful!  I have had the pleasure of getting to know Marissa's family very well over the last few years and we love their entire family! Marissa was actually one of my seniors, which still seems surreal to me to be photographing her wedding! 

Jason and Marissa chose our True Love Collection, which includes video coverage where we get to team up with our friends, Heidi and Troy, from StudioU Photography!  We had so much fun getting creative and working with each other, I wish we could do it all the time!  We are in the works of making a music video for them, so stay tuned, it's incredible!!

They were married at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Riverside, Iowa and we celebrated their reception at the Riverside Casino.  Petal Pushers decorated the ballroom, and it was absolutely breathtaking!  From all the twinkling lights to the beautiful crystals and bouquets, everything was exquisite. 

We took the wedding party downtown Riverside, which had some pretty unique and rustic buildings to work with as backgrounds.  Everything was perfect. Selecting a few of our absolute favs was difficult, but check them out!!

 

This incredible band from Chicago, Hello Nuvo, performed at their wedding reception, creating quite the party crowd with their music.

 

I am so super excited to release Erinn and Jeremy's gorgeous fall wedding!  I am so deeply honored and excited to have been a part of their amazing day! We had such a wonderful time with their fun family and friends and it was so inspirational photographing in an all new location that was in a word, breathtaking! 

I feel so honored to have photographed a bride that has made such an amazing impression on my own life and who I have come to know and love dearly.  Erinn is our newest addition to the KimAnne family, as some of you may recognize!  I knew her day would be amazing and every minute of it truly was. 

They were married at St. Mary's in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and we celebrated their reception at the Minnehaha Country Club.  Erinn wanted a vintage feel to her wedding style, and I LOVED all of her imagination and details that she and her mother put so much thought into. I am so excited about their wedding!!! 

Erinn and Jeremy ~ We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness and lots of laughter along the way.  Thank you for coming into our lives and bringing so much fun with you!  We love you and can't wait to watch your family grow!

XOXOXO

 

Karen and Kiley are such a sweet couple! Its such a neat story how they met and fell in love!  They met on a speed date, and it wasn't until Kiley came running after Karen that same night to ask her to dinner that they truly started hitting it off and falling for each other. 

And now they are very best friends and proud parents of Lacey, their sweet puppy!  She is super sweet as well, and loves to play and go for walks. 

Karen and Kiley plan to marry at the beautiful arboretum and their reception is at the lodge in Blackhawk State Park.  Its going to beautiful and a wonderful way to celebrate their love. Stay tuned for their big day next year!

 

Wow, talk about a sweet couple! They were perfectly matched on E-Harmony and one of the sweetest and most sentimental couple I've had the honor of photographing!  I thoroughly enjoyed our roadtrip during their engagement session and their wedding was perfect as well! 

They were married at Spring Grove, a small country church outside of Burlington and we celebrated their reception at Comfort Suites in Burlington.  The day was absolutely beautiful weather and they are so easy going and laid back so it was fun taking them downtown and through Crapo Park with their wedding party. 

I feel so honored to have captured their special commitments to one another, thank you guys for letting us be a part of your beautiful wedding!

Take a peek at some of our favorites!

Caleb and Kelli had a pretty exciting wedding day when it comes to weather!  It started off a very warm afternoon and just as they were about to make their grand exit following their wedding ceremony, we were stuck in a torrential downpour.   For all those Hawkeye fans that actually made it to the game, you know what we mean! But, it was an amazing day nonetheless. 

They were married at St. Mary's Catholic Church in West Burlington, where the beautiful grotto makes for a gorgeous background for wedding images.  When we realized that hanging out in the rain storm may not pan out, we decided to detour to one of the old cabins located inside of Crapo Park.  And it was beautiful!  I love how the raindrops fell all around Kelli and Caleb as we captured some of their images together after the wedding. Their wedding party was a ton of fun and so wonderful to get a bit wet to and from our locations!

Their reception was downtown at the Auditorium, decorated in pink and brown accents from the wedding and it was beautiful! Take a peek at just a few of our favorites from their wedding!

What a beautiful day we had at the Brown Deer Country Club in Iowa City for Brandon and Stephanie's wedding! I love that gorgeous area and its a great landscape for wedding photographs.

They got ready at the beautiful Marriott in Iowa City, which is also a great place to photograph. The wedding party was full of their closest friends and family, and they were a lot of fun!

The reception was held in Brown Deer's ballroom and it was decorated beautifully! We created a video of some of our many favorites from their day, check it out!

Jake and Cara make such an amazing couple and I just love them!!  It was wonderful photographing their engagement session and it got me super excited for their wedding! But I love just watching them together because they are so down to earth and very much in love. 

Their wedding was at the Methodist Church in Mediapolis, Iowa. Most of my adventures take me through Mediapolis, but not usually in the town, so I was excited for something new to capture! We found a neat building that went with their platinum dresses perfectly! 

After the wedding we headed to the dog parlor off Highway 61, and it was a perfect country setting, adorned with the classic red barn, tall cornfields and a beautiful sunset...pretty amazing combo, and that's why we all love IOWA!

Their wedding reception was at the Pzazz in Burlington, Iowa and I loved how they decorated their ballroom!  Jake and Cara, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us be a part of your wedding day.  I loved your wedding party, one we have gotten to know well over several weddings, but theres never a dull moment and I wouldn't trade them in for anything!  Your families were so nice and absolutely wonderful and I'm so blessed to have been a part of your day, so thank you so much!

Take a peek at some of our favs, there are so many!!! :)

 

I feel so blessed to have been a part of Kyle and Barbara's wedding!  I knew they would be wonderful,  since they were a lot of fun throughout their engagement session as a couple and I was lucky enough to photograph one of Kyle's closest friend's wedding, Chad and Bo! 

Barbara and Kyle were married at the beautiful St. Mary's Catholic Church in Burlington, a perfect setting for photographs taken at their famous Grotto.  We took the wedding party to Crapo Park for an outdoor location and finished up downtown for some fun party shots.

Their reception was at Comfort Suites in Burlington, a great location for setting off fireworks, which sparkled throughout the sky later that evening. It was awesome! 

Thank you Barbara and Kyle for letting us be a part of your amazing day! Can't wait to see you again!

XOXOXO

Kim, Patsy, Jess, Jaime and Erinn

What a sweet, sweet couple!  I loved spending the entire day with Jared and Lindsey!  Their wedding party rocked too!  We had so much fun!  We started the day off at Dana's Total Image getting the girls ready and they were married at St. John's Catholic Church in Burlington...a beautiful and very popular catholic church here in our very own town.

We went to some new places with our wedding party under the Washington St. bridge and Crapo Park was beautiful that day for pictures!  We rode the Hawkeye bus and celebrated through town and at Kelly O'Sheas Irish Pub downtown. 

We laughed all day long and into the reception, and we had such a fun and amazing day!  Thank you so very much Jared and Lindsey for letting me be a part of your special day! You guys are awesome!

Hugs!

Kim Patsy Jaime Jess and Erinn

I photographed Valorie's senior pictures and I can't believe she's married now! I think I'm beginning to feel a bit older now :)  Their wedding was at the Shakespeare Garden in Crapo Park, a beautiful setting for a wedding by the way! It was a small and simple wedding, and it was beautiful that day. I love our park, it's so pretty!  Take a peek at some of our favorites from their wedding day!

Justin and Katrina are college sweethearts. What brought them together at Culver-Stockton was their mutual love of their favorite sport, Katrina playing softball and Justin in football. Much of their wedding party was made up of close friends from their college days.  Their party was so fun and we laughed all day long!  You can see in the video how much fun these guys were! 

Katrina is from the Quad Cities and they decided to celebrate their wedding there as well.  Katrina and Justin were married at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Moline and we celebrated their reception at a place we hadn't been to before for a wedding, the famous Rock Island Arsenal.  As we were driving in the rain onto the base, we realized this really was kind of an island all its own, it was huge! We spent half of our day in the rain, but it didn't matter, we popped up umbrellas and headed to downtown Moline with the wedding party to make more amazing memories. 

It was such a pleasure spending the day with Justin and Katrina and their family and friends.  They were all so wonderful!  Check out our favs from their day!

Their first moment...looks like a dream castle!

These next few images are taken on the riverfront in Moline...BEAUTIFUL landscape!

Katrina using her softball skills against the boys...they've learned to be scared of her early on in college.  Too funny!

 

Justin and Katie are so so sweet!  I am very lucky to have been a part of their amazing day!  Their wedding was at St. John's Catholic Church in Burlington and they celebrated their reception at Pzazz Event Center.  It was an incredible day full of emotion and laughter and the weather was hot, but beautiful! 

Their first moment was so sweet, as the moment they eyes met, they filled with tears.  This is such an amazing moment for me as a photographer to capture, because it says everything! They both are wonderful people and together it only makes them that much more incredible. 

After the wedding we went back to her dear grandpa's farm where we had photographed their engagement session in Burlington.  Its top on my list of favorite places to photograph and since Katie is so close to her grandpa, it was perfect! 

I was excited to have so much time with Justin and Katie and their fun wedding party! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us share in this day with you guys! Congratulations and we wish you so much happiness to come!

Love,

Kim, Patsy, Jess, Jaime and Erinn

Katie wanted to wear her mother's veil on her wedding day, and it was beautiful!  What a treasure!

This is the greeting at the end of the road of their farm...too funny!

Courtney and Morgan's wedding was beautiful.  Courtney is very organized and detail oriented, so it came as no surprise that everything had been thought of down to her cute tiffany blue shoes.  We loved the colors and the reception decor was timeless and just plain gorgeous!

Morgan is full of laughter and his groomsmen were right behind him, so needless to say there were lots of laughs throughout the afternoon. The Snake Alley Criterium was in full swing when we went downtown for pictures, but we found some pretty amazing locations for their images.  Our newly married couple looked FANTASTIC!

It was such a treat being a part of their amazing wedding!  The ceremony took place at St. John's Catholic Church in Burlington, Iowa and the reception was at the Pzazz Event Centre, shimmering in Tiffany Blue.  Thank you both so very much for letting us be a part of your beautiful day and we wish you many more amazing moments together.

~XOXO

Petals fell down as Courtney's father walked her to down the aise to see Morgan for the first time on their wedding day.  What a beautiful moment.

This little girl was adorable and I think I might snag her up as an assistant in training! This little sweetie pie had this ceremony covered!

Wade and Lindsay are so so sweet!  I truly enjoyed their engagement session, and their wedding was every bit as much fun!  They are just madly in love with one another, which is such a treat to photograph and be a part of their wedding!

Their wedding was held at St. Alphonsus in Mt. Pleasant, the church that Lindsay grew up in.  We partied with the photobooth and lots of dancing during their reception right next door. 

Wade and Lindsay just seem to compliment each other and it's like magic seeing them together.  Thank you both for letting us be a part of your wonderful wedding day! Wishing you lots of happiness your way!

Take a peek at some of our favorites from their sweet day...
