{raeghan} seven months-wellman.iowa!

So you have been following this little love bug since her newborn pics. and here she is again!  Its so much fun when they can sit up for photos, yet this also means they are at the age where everything and anything goes straight in for a taste: whether its dirt, flowers, grass or weeds.  Raeghan did so amazing, showing off and flirting with James!  But, when she was ready to cash in, she clearly let us know {adorable, funny…and too innocent to do anything about yet}!  Yup, we cannot get enough of her either!

{lacey and john} iowa city-wedding.

LOVED the approach Lacey + John took for their adorable marriage celebration.  They hosted a casual grill-out in which friends and family were able to munch, drink, play as they pleased!  Lots of outdoor games and fresh flowers: the day was intimate, informal, personalized and genuine.  John wore his favorite webbed-toed shoes and Lacey threw her jeans on when the sun set.  Flynn really stole the show with his charming golden fur, he greeted everyone at the door with a flop over signal to rub the belly.

The following Mon. was a sweet ceremony at the courthouse in which we were honored to be a part of.  The next AM Lacey + John hopped a plane to Africa {yep: Africa!} to pet the baby elephants (gasp!) and explore on their honeymoon {YES, I asked if we could go along as part of our all-day coverage package, we promise we will pack light, but unfortunately we had to let them go.  I am so jealous of their trip!}  Enjoy their cute day. *Missy

adrienne and nick-dubuque. iowa {engagements!}

So-we have this really crazy luck that it rarely.rarely rains on wedding days for the Dreschers.  The old wives tale that you will be rich if it rains on your wedding day: well unfortunately, if you are one of our brides reading…sorry.  We have like this crazy weird luck that we somehow always dodge rain.  No matter what.  Its like a super power of ours!

Well!  These two are both dentists (brains and beauty, yes) so rescheduling was not really an option for any of us busy bees.  So we said lets do it!, rain or shine and everyone packed their boots.  James + I drove nearly 2 hrs. to our secret hot spot (risky-I know!) and it poured the entire drive down.  As we parked the Jeep, it totally stopped-not even a sprinkle.  So we all said we would have 20 minutes, tops-lets just hammer out a couple keepers, assuming at best.  We ended up shooting a couple 16G cards and had to stop the session after a handful of outfits, the sun began to set, and we got sidetracked with appetizers and drinks.

Lucky=yes!  Risky=yes!  It was so much fun-we got to meet their gorgeous white german shepherd and also stash away some secret locations we are pumped to reintroduce on the wedding day.  Thank you so much A + N for going with the flow-it could not have been a more perfect session! MD
