The Loviks | June 28, 2024 (Sneak Peek)

“I’m not the biggest dreamer in the world, but I’ve always prayed for things since I was a little girl. Things like hoping they’d have chicken nuggets at lunch, and being able to touch the clouds on an airplane, and, most importantly, finding a man who loves me with all his heart. And while I never did get to touch a cloud on an airplane, I did find you.” BRB SOBBING 😭🫶 I struggle to find words for just how perfect and precious Ben and Whitney’s day was — it was impossible to fit all the emotion, laughter, puppy kisses, well-curated details, and love into such a short snippet of such an incredible day and celebration of the two of them. I am obsessed. 🥹 Lots more tears and sweetness and Lovik party to come — until then, Iowa’s newest power couple 🥳✨🍾 Vendors / Videography / Me 👋 Photography / Grace Troutman: Oahu Wedding Photographer Venue / Ashton Hill Farm / Galena DJ / Schulte Sounds Floral / Ellabank Blossoms Catering / J&D Catering Dress / Pure Bridal Tux / Suit Shop Officiant / Ryan Huinker Hair / Aurora Blush Makeup / alpenglow artistry Dessert / Take the Cake Desserts Couple / Whitney Lovik & Ben Lovik 🤍

What an honor it was to be part of Karter and Rachael’s incredibly special and emotional day on June 22. 🥹🫶 These two are the absolute SWEETEST — their love for each other radiated in every single moment throughout the day, and capturing all the laughter, sweet smiles, and adoration they have for each other made for the easiest job in the world.

The Van Radens | June 21, 2024 (Sneak Peek)

“I quickly realized that my entire life was right in front of me.” 😭🥹🫶🏼 A short peek into the best day with the Van Radens on June 21. I could have made this teaser film 15 minutes long — the amount of love, insane detail, and thought poured into this day was so incredible and impressive. If I could hand select the love stories I get to tell each year, I’d pick the two of you over and over again, Remi and Andrew. I can’t wait to see you both thrive in this next chapter.

The Funkes | November 18, 2023

What a perfect end to the 2023 wedding season. 🥹🫶🏼 This film, and this whole day, was just one big serotonin boost (and how could it not be after Kylie started off the day by surprising Luke with a puppy during their first look !!! ). I love your love, Funkes! It was such a joy spending the day with you and your people. Nothing gives me wedding nostalgia quite like thinking about a day like this, running around in small-town Iowa in the November cold with a perfect sunset (a chicken and potato meal from The Barn is a close second, though 😮‍💨). Cheers to you, Kylie and Luke! To many happy years ahead. 🤍🍾🥂 Vendors / Videography / Me Photography / thomas + co. 🫶 Venue / Worthington Memorial Hall DJ / Mobile 1 Productions DJ Floral / Kim's Kreations Catering / The Barn Hair / Megan Mulcahy, Bryce Harrington, Emily Elizabeth Schober Makeup / Danyelle Fagan, Brynn Kolpin Dress / Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique Tux / Gordon's Tuxedos & Suits Decorating / Lueck Weddings Cake / Jesi Caldwell Dessert / Jesi Caldwell, Lynne Lueck Bus / The Hangover Express Couple / Kylie Funke + Luke Funke 🤍

November 18 was the sweetest day celebrating Luke and Kylie 🥹🫶 These two took on two new roles on their big day: husband and wife and dog parents (best wedding gift ever, eep)!!! 🥳 I could not have asked for a better day or couple to close out the 2023 wedding season — we had incredible weather, a perfect sunset, and so, so, so much love to document and celebrate in every room these two walked into.

Ashley + Jonah | September 3, 2023 (Sneak Peek)

“I told my mom I thought I’d marry you a month after we started dating, and I’ve never doubted it since.” Okay, I’m an absolute puddle after the sweetest day that ever was with the Blondinos. 😭 Ashley and Jonah are two of the sweetest and most wholesome humans I’ve ever met. Their love and warmth and joy radiated every room they walked into, and the way they made everyone that came to celebrate them feel so loved and appreciated on THEIR big day speaks volumes about who they are and how they love each other. I’m in awe at the two of you and I adore your love. Picking the best moments from this day was impossible, but here is a small (smallllll) peek into the most perfect day with Ashley and Jonah.

Kristen + Garret | August 12, 2023 (Sneak Peek)

It was a good weekend to be a Nolte 🥳🍾🥂 I haven’t laughed this much during a wedding day in a long time — Kristen and Garret are hilarious, so complimentary of each other, and their back-and-forth banter made it so easy to capture their love and their fun personalities (and everyone knows I love a film with a little personality 🫶🏼). Kristen and I were neighbors growing up, so it was extra special to get to document such an important milestone after growing up next door to each other for most of our lives. It was such an incredible day. 🥹 Enjoy a sneak peek into the most perfect day with the Noltes and their crew! 🤍 Vendors / Videography / Me Photography / The best Zach Lefebure Photography & Design Coordination / Events to Celebrate, LLC DJ / Grant Peterson Venue / Eagle’s Ledge Bouquet / Hy-Vee Catering / The Lincoln Club Banquet Center & Catering Dress / An Elegant Affair Bridal Tux / Skeffington's Formalwear Officiants / Chris and Erin Miller Hair / Bailey Rinderknecht & Jennifer Dillion Makeup / Lindsey Massey & Juana Ruiz Gonzalez Bus / The Bus Guys LLC Dessert / Nothing Bundt Cakes Couple / Kristen Faust Nolte & Garret Nolte 🤍

Allison + Adam | July 1, 2023 (Sneak Peek)

“You are not my other half, but my other whole.” Oh my oh my oh my, I am so excited to share a small snippet of one of my favorite days to date with the Johnsons. Allison and Adam have a unique bond that only a couple that has spent this many years loving each other can create. They got to read their letters + vows to each other as the rain came down, shared the sweetest first dance that they learned together after a few glasses of wine, and danced the night away with their favorite people. Name a more perfect day - I literally can’t. 🥹🫶 Enjoy a sneak peek into the best day with the Johnsons. 🤍 Vendor Team // Videography / Kara Krantz Videography Photography / Savannah Grace Photography Venue / Ashton Hill Farm Coordination & Planning / Anne & Ellis / Sadie Boyle DJ / Avery Karkosh Floral / Clara Joyce Flowers Catering / The Chef's Catering Co.

Kelsey + Patrick | November 19, 2022

It’s been a long time coming for this one — in case you forgot, let me introduce you all ~officially~ to the Shanahans! My last wedding of 2022 and a memorable one to say the least. 🥳🫶 Kelsey and Pat got married on the coldest, windiest day on November 19, 2022, and I don’t know many couples who would’ve rolled with the curveballs as well as these two did. They are two of the kindest, sweetest, most gentle humans and it was such an honor to document their day as my last 2022 love story. I get teary-eyed at so many moments from their day, but watching Kelsey see herself in her dress for the first time on her wedding day just gives me all the feels. Such a special memory. 🥹 Cheers to the Shanahans, and many happy years ahead! 🥂 Videography / Kara Krantz Videography Photography / K.Furlong Photography Band / The Ditch Lilies Floral / HandPickd ( Just for You) Catering / Hyvee Dress / Vera's House of Bridals Tux / Cheryl-Ann Bridals & Tuxedos Reception / Peosta Community Center Hair + MUA / Bryce Harrington, Emily Freiburger, Megan, Kayla Oglesby Party Bus / Hangover Express Decor / The Found Collection Couple / Kelsey Shanahan & Pat Shanahan 🤍

It was such a memorable and intimate moment to share with their ‘I do’s,’ and a true testament to their love and commitment to each other. 🥺🫶🏼 Congratulations Becca and Justin — I’m so excited to see what adventure life blesses you both with next! 💗 Vendors // Videographer: Kara Krantz Videography Photographer: Agape Photo Co.

There is no love story I would have rather documented on a 10-degree day with 40 mph winds than the Shanahans! 🤍 Kelsey and Pat were my last wedding for 2022 and I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, more easy-going couple.
