Alysia and Garreth's wedding ceremony and reception were both held outdoors at Eagle Point Park in Dubuque, IA. The Pavillion and patio sit on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River and it's a beautiful location for an outdoor wedding.
Eagle Point Park, Dubuque, IA
Here is a sequence of images from Alysia and Garreth's "first look" before the ceremony.
I always love the look of anticipation on the Bride's face as the groom approaches!

Brock and Kate were married on July 9th at St Anthony's Catholic Church in Atkinson, Illinois. The reception was held at Jumers Casino in Rock Island, Illinois. Both Brock and Kate have been either guests or attendants in weddings I have photographed in the past for their friends and relatives.
The first two images were part of the sequence when Brock and Kate met for their "first look" before the ceremony.
The first look makes a perfect moment!
Atkinson, Illinois
I have been doing a lot more "intimate" portraits with my wedding clients this year. I think it's important to have a set images that show love and affection between the Bride and Groom, in addition to the relaxed and traditional portraits.
I really like this moment Brock and kate share during the ceremony. And you can't tell by the image that there was no air conditioning in the Church on a hot, July day!
Brock and Kate own a beautiful property with two lagoons and this is where we shot this image. I love the clear blue skies and the great pose they gave me!

Here is another image that was at Brock and Kate's house near the lagoon.
Brock's brother offers a toast at the reception.
The videographer set the rings up for a first dance shot and I did one too with my own lights!
I will post Sandra and Jorge's wedding next! Thanks for visiting my blog!

Ceremony: St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Davenport, IA
Reception: The Radisson Quad City Plaza, Davenport, IA
Colin and Allison's reception was in downtown Davenport at The Radisson, and at the end of the night we stepped out the backdoor to watch the fireworks across the street. It was a great view with the Sky-Bridge in the background.
This image was my favorite!
St. Paul's Lutheran in Davenport is my all-time favorite church in this area for photography. There is an abundance of soft, ambient light and no need for artificial flash guns!
We were at Leach park in Bettendorf for this session and what a great moment with Colin and Allison!
St. Paul's Lutheran Church during the ceremony.
As we were going from on location to another for portraits, I found these great reflections in the pillars of a memorial at the church. This is the kind of image you can't plan before the wedding...you just see it when it happens.
St. Paul's has these huge oak doors at the entrance to to the sanctuary, and they open them slowly as the bride and Her Dad begin their walk down the aisle. It's a beautiful moment.

Amber and Aaron
July 2nd, 2011
Aaron and Amber were a fun couple to work with and it shows in the images! One of my favorite images was the intimate portrait above.
I always tell my wedding clients to have fun on their wedding day and the images will be good. Aaron and amber were definitely having fun as you can see in these two photos!
Downtown Moline.
As you can see, I was under attack by this large river bug while shooting this session!
Amber and the bridesmaids were having fun too!
I love this portrait of Amber.
Amber and her Sister share a moment together right after She was finished getting ready.
The groomsmen are in the right lens, and that's me in the left lens!
We set up this shot in the gym at the church with all the lights turned off and just a little window light.
I usually don't like to post images shot at the altar of the church...but this I like a lot!
I had six weddings in July so I have fallen way behind on my blog posts! I do keep the Facebook page more up-to-date so please feel free to find us there. Thanks! ~Rick

The Ceremony was at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Davenport, Iowa, and the Reception was a couple of blocks away at the Radisson Quad City Plaza. It was a downtown wedding!
It rained all afternoon after the ceremony but not bad enough to stop us from shooting outside. We went to Vanderveer Park for some portraits.
I love this image of the beautiful dress!
And I love this image of Kandis wearing the dress too!
It was starting to rain pretty hard by the time we were at this location near the Government Bridge and we had to cut it short...so we went to a nice bar downtown!
And here are the girls having fun at The Phoenix!

Ceremony: Old St. Anne's Church, Long Grove Iowa
Reception: The Lodge, Bettendorf, IA
Old St Anne's Church, Long Grove, IA
Old St Anne's Church, Long Grove, IA.
We went down to the River at Leach Park and I wanted to find a different perspective than all my previous shoots at the location. We walked down below the I-74 Bridge and were greeted by a swarm of river bugs! I was pleased by the results though!
This image was taken near Old St. Anne's Church at the Pioneer Village.
Old St, Annes Church, Long Grove, IA
Mark and Brooke's private moment they met before the ceremony...this is one of my favorite sequences of images at every wedding.
I love to catch this moment when the Bride and Groom meet for the first time on the wedding day!
Mark get a first glimpse of Brooke wearing the the wedding ring.
The Flower Girls were at the altar for formals with Brooke, and this was the best pose they could offer at this age! But it's a great pose.

One more portrait of Brooke!
