I am more than your wedding photographer, I am also your confidante, friend, but most importantly the person who will tell the romantic story of your wedding day captured within images.
Your wedding day is unique and your time line will be also. I will be in close contact with you throughout your planning process to ensure your wedding and photography run smoothly. What should you expect from your wedding photographer? That's why I'm here! The bare basics of what you can expect from me are broken down as follows...
After all the planning, thought, and energy that went into your flowers, flower arrangements, table settings, and decorations, these definitely need to be memorialized in striking clarity. I will be there photographing each beautiful element during or right after reception set up.
Expect me capturing every moment of your getting ready, from laying out the jewelry and shoes, make-up and hair, bouquets, to the exciting moment when you finally put your gorgeous dress on. Capturing your ring, shoes, dress details, and moments that will be treasured forever is so beautiful. And let's not forget the handsome groom and groomsmen! I definitely want to capture those details also!
Your first look, bridal portraits, and family portraits will be intimate, fun, and exciting. Dependent on locations, I usually recommend that we set aside an hour or two for these to ensure we can take the most beautiful and unique portraits possible. I encourage my couples to consider doing the portraits prior to the wedding so you can enjoy every moment of the remainder of your day. Of course, ultimately this decision is up to each couple and this time line is always flexible.
The wedding is the most important event to be documented! From the groom waiting anxiously, his beautiful bride walking down the aisle, to the vows, I strive to capture each and every moment in the most stunning and intimate way possible. Please keep in mind that your officiant and venue has rules in place regarding photography during the ceremony, and I will work according to those rules.
Following your wedding, I will be at your disposal. This is the time for you to cut loose, have fun and start enjoying your lives together!
From the guests, the bridal entrance, first toast, dinner, and cake cutting, I will scour the room and document these moments, in the least obtrusive way possible.
You waited all day for this! I am everywhere capturing your first dance through the throwing of the bouquet. I love all the smiles, kisses, and the guests having so much fun! Following the bouquet throw, I will begin to end the photography coverage, unless there are special requests or other moments you specifically would like captured.
Sound like the most romantic and happy day of your life? Oh yes, definitely!
I was born in Dubuque, Iowa, and raised the Cedar Valley. I love to travel and see all the world has to offer. The mountains amaze me, but yet I cannot fathom being away from water. My lifestyle includes photography, baking and cooking, walking with my dog in the woods, reading, and spending quality time with good friends and family. I am definitely an “outdoor” person and enjoy nature. There is a huge soft spot in my heart for animals.
Showcasing wedding day stories since 2006, I am confident in my ability to tell the story of your wedding beautifully.
Hello! I am so happy that you are visiting my web site and want to know a little more about me. So, let’s get started so you can get a sense of who I am.
I was born in Dubuque, Iowa, and raised the Cedar Valley. I love to travel and see all the world has to offer. The mountains amaze me, but yet I cannot fathom being away from water. My lifestyle includes photography, working out, walking in the woods, camping, canoeing, reading, watching movies, and spending quality time with good friends and family. I am definitely an “outdoor” person and enjoy nature. There is a huge soft spot in my heart for animals.
I am at my happiest surrounded by good friends and family and especially entertaining. Pasta is my weakness and I am a self-proclaimed cookbookaholic. My personal obsession right now is making sourdough bread. Chai tea and quality red wine are my favorite beverages. Nothing comforts me more than my goose down feather bed with my Kindle (favorite authors are still Stephen King and Dean Koontz), and cuddling up to my little ones. I have a sarcastic type of humor - I love to laugh and I love laughing with people even more.
I believe in envisioning my future and my successes, and attempt to stay positive throughout life’s struggles. Adversity is something to be conquered, and good fortune accepted with gratitude.
I believe the photographer you choose to memorialize your wedding should feel like your best friend. I want to be there with you every step of the way. When you need to obsess over a wedding detail or just talk, I'm your girl. I believe that liking me is just as important as liking my work.
Every bride deserves beautiful portraits. Engagements, weddings and families are all special and deserve to be treated that way. I make every effort to get to know my couples well prior to their wedding day. I love the smile on the bride’s face when she sees me on her wedding day and we take that first hug! This is the relationship that I intend to have with you.
Following your heart is best when planning your wedding, and I don’t mind when tradition is curtailed. I adore contrasting feminine with gritty, white against the dark, and vibrant color with the bland. You and your fiance have that special something, personalities that drew the both of you together, and passions to be expressed. Your vision is my top priority.
Laughter, smiles, cuddling, tears, and warm embraces are all the intimate moments that I strive to keepsake for you. It is my job and I take it very seriously. Your wedding day is a beautiful story, written by you, waiting to unfold, and documented by me through the images I capture. These are your intimate moments, all of which are extraordinary! I cannot wait to meet both of you and share in the most important day in your lives.

Absolutely Perfect!
Working with Jane was nothing short of amazing. She captured our day perfectly and we have so many photos to look back on! Shes so creative and so fun to work with. We would recommend 10/10!
I knew we chose the right photographer!
The first contact I had with Jane was so personal and exciting that I knew we chose the right photographer. I could email her any time I had a question or idea and she made me feel at ease when the weather forecast showed rain on our wedding day. She has an eye for detail and captured the personalities of us, our party, and family & friends perfectly. Jane is so good that you don't even notice her, then get your pictures back and wonder how she got that picture! Jane asks you many questions to get to know your style, family & wedding party, and expectations and gives you the perfect day.
Very easy to work with, beautiful results!
Jane was great to work with! She was very organized and responsive to ideas I would like. Her pictures were amazing and I am very happy I chose her for our day.
Wonderful!
Was able to get photos of every single moment of my wedding day. Very professional and very reasonable pricing for the amount and the quality of the pictures!
