Bryce and Brittani Get Married: This is one of the largest family events I've ever photographed. There are over 850 photos in the collection.
Todd and Ellen Get Married. This is a ginormous photo album, nearly 500 images. The event was a small family affair all taking place at the famous Four Mounds Burden Mansion overlooking the Mississippi River in Dubuque.
The Keehner-Puls Wedding Albums. This was a big wedding with big families, and the challenge was large group shots. Gary met the challenge, and you can see every shot taken.
An autumm wedding in Iowa City (Mona and Justin) turned out to be a lovely event. See the gallery of photos. Click here.
The Yaklin-Summers Wedding in St. Donatus, Iowa. This was a truly lovely wedding with a spectacular reception at the Galena Territories. The church was old and beautiful... an historic landmark. Click here.
The Weber-Link Wedding Portfolio. Click here. A lovely spring wedding on a Friday evening. This is a photography only project with a small gathering of family and friends. The church is beautiful (St. Anthony's), and the reception at the Grand River Center on Dubuque's riverfront was a spectacular setting. In this portfolio we managed to get photographs of every single guest. And there's a great family photo at the end of the evening.
A photo colleciton I call "Family Values" was taken at the beautiful Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Click here.
Hansen-Andracchio Here are the Engagement Photos!
The Meester-MacEachern Wedding Photographs and Video. This is one of the largest productions I've ever undertaken. The movie is 2 hours and 18 minutes. I shot over four hours worth of source material.
The Ludovissy Wedding Movie I had such fun doing this wedding. We filmed from sunup to sundown... from the beautyshop to the reception hall and everything in between.
The Mozena Wedding and Video Clip A beautful outdoor wedding on a very hot day. This is a lovely photo album, shots taken at Clarke College's lovely atrium. Then it was on to the ceremony at the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. The wedding ceremony was held in a gazebo at the edge of a rose garden, and photos were taken after the ceremony in a spectacular Japanese inspired garden with bridge and waterfall.
The Mozena Anniversary Party We were actually guests at this novel wedding anniversary party of my physician and his wife, and we were all supposed to wear our original wedding garb. I in my tux, my wife in her wedding gown (actually a reasonable facsimile), we had a blast. For taking photos, however, the reception hall had a very high ceiling. So I bounced my flash off of wedding dresses, and managed to get wonderful shots of all the guests and, of course, the guests of honor, Terry and Darryl Mozena. In this shot, however, I chose to feature one of the most incredible wedding ensembles of the guests. These were from India, and the fabrics were just lovely.
