Carmen and Ron

This past Saturday, Steve, I, and one of our new assistants Chad Doty shot Carmen and Ron's West Des Moines wedding. The wedding took place at the Hy-Vee Conference Center. It was a typical April day...rainy with intermittent dry spells. This one had some of the best planning we've ever done. We had originally planned to shoot the outside photos between the ceremony and reception. Pretty typical plan, however, Steve had been watching radar all day and mad his best Ed Wilson guess that it was going to put an end to our outdoor photos if we didn't get them done sooner...Ed's job might be in Jeopardy. Steve was right on. We got all indoor formals and outside candid formal shoots done in no less than an hour and 20 minutes. At one hour and 22 minutes, it started raining.

This was the first wedding we had shot at the Hy-Vee Conference Center and we were incredibly impressed by the layout and organization. It can definitely be compared to the Meadows at Prairie Meadows. We had a great time, big thanks to Chad (whom you will see more of soon), to Carmen and Ron's family, and especially to Carmen and Ron, congratulations! Below are a few of our favorites.

One more thing, if any future bride wants to talk to a bride about breaking out some serious dancing at their reception, talk to Carmen. Unbelievable moves in a wedding dress.
