Sarah and Jacob

Over Memorial Day weekend we photographed Sarah and Jacob's wedding in Des Moines. It was just the first of several instances this year where we thought the weather may be bad, but turned out just fine. The rain will stop, the ground will dry, and photos will be taken. These two were great to work with. Their laid back attitude meshed perfectly with our easy going style. No body wants someone over bearing and aggressive on their wedding day, that only creates stress and unnecessary headaches. Keep stress free.


We started with photos at the state capitol. It is such a versatile location because of the view of the city, the steps, the capitol it self, the well manicured grounds, and the general open space. The decision to take that area and get rid of the old parking lot is one of the best the city has made. The clouds covered the sky from east to west and north to south providing a smooth even lit background and diffused soft light across the earth. It was exactly as we like.


We finished shooting a few photos at their reception location, Toad Valley Golf Course, which as usual we can not recommend enough. Allison and her entire crew are great to work with! Sarah, Jacob, family, and friends were all great to work with. We had a great time. Congratulations to Sarah and Jacob!
