A ROMANTIC FAMILY WEDDING AT THE GRAINERY LODGE | CHEROKEE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER This past Saturday and the one before were back to back family weddings. Being part of the wedding process with two of Jason’s cousins is so fun and I am honored they considered me to be their wedding photographer in Cherokee! Cody and […]

I absolutely cannot believe that I haven’t blogged this Minneapolis engagement session yet, because it is one of my all time faves. We are talking top 5 favorite engagement sessions! These images are sprinkled all over my website, social media graphics, and marketing materials! So, the question is why did I not get this done […]

A Glowy Winter Engagement Session in Sioux City, Iowa Remember back in December, when the snow was magical, and we were all so excited for it? It was a bit chilly, but nothing like it was in February? Back then we were not super frustrated with winter and ready for summer. We were still happy […]

A Behind the Scenes Look at Jessica Brees Photography in 2018 I am so happy to finally be writing my annual recap for 2018…especially considering we are already two weeks into 2019. What’s the saying: better late than ugly? No, that’s what a student said to me when they were late for Student Council once. […]

A Winter Wedding Full of Bling at the Delta Marina Hotel in Sioux City, Iowa My LAST wedding of 2018…how did this year fly by so fast!? I met Victoria and Steven when we all met up for food at Mr. P’s in LeMars…but now that I am thinking back I think I was the […]

An Intimate December Wedding in the Middle of a Blizzard in Orange City, Iowa It’s a lighthearted joke that most couples don’t know what to expect for weather on their wedding days in Iowa. I’ve shot weddings that were sweltering hot and humid in August and others that were cool and mild for that time […]

A Joyful Thanksgiving Wedding in Remsen, Iowa In the weeks before Ryan and Kendra’s wedding, I was just not sure what the weather was going to be. Late November in Iowa could be a gamble, giving us wind, snow, freezing rain…any mixture of early winter weather. But the day of the wedding we all woke […]

A Rainy October Wedding At Tucker Hill Vineyards in Hinton, Iowa I know it’s not wedding Wednesday the day this blog post will drop, but I didn’t want to rush it. Colin and Ali have been so patient with me this week, and I didn’t want to keep them waiting just to read a half-thought […]

A Classy Autumn Winery Wedding in Round Lake, Minnesota Before gushing about how amazing this last wedding was, let me admit one thing: I am behind when it comes to work. I am a bit overwhelmed, drowning in tasks, and last week I barely got through. Because of this, I did not prepare for Dustin […]

A Beautiful Nighttime Ceremony Decorated with Twinkle Lights in Marcus, Iowa I will have to admit right away that I was incredibly nervous for Dan and Julianne’s wedding day! They live out of state and hired me in good faith after a Skype call, so I had never met them. I finally met them when […]
