Stephanie and Jeff - Engagement and Wedding Photos in One Post

So the blog has been WAY WAY behind with all that we've had going on. Time for a little catch-up. In late May I photographed engagement photos for Stephanie and Jeff. We were lucky to get them in! They had been rescheduled once and to get Stephanie and Jeff's schedule in Des Moines to match-up with ours took some great luck. But we got them in only one short month before the wedding.


The two were married on June 26. It was an incredibly hot day, but it's summer and that's to be expected. What was not expected was the awesome trip to Snookies Malt Shop which was located just feet from the ceremony site. When we arrived the malt shop employees were awesome and let us inside to the closed dining area for some air conditioning and photos. Ashley was unable to shoot this wedding with me (due to Parker's pending arrival) so Levi was once again working with me. Stephanie and Jeff held their reception at the same location that Ashley and I were both married at and held our reception, so returning there had special meaning to me. Not to mention that Ashley was not by my side. Levi is great, but Ashley is my other half in many ways. The day turned out beautifully, the families were amazing, and Stephanie and Jeff looked fantastic. Check out engagement and wedding photos below!
