don’t worry mom, it’s a styled wedding shoot.

Collaborating with creatives around the city leads me to partake in some unique scenarios. My most recent calling? The bride to be.

I teamed up with Central Iowa’s finest to recreate a beautiful and enchanting wedding at Embassy Club West. A timeless dress & delicious cake… what more could a girl want?

As we twirled around the venue and popped champagne, there were endless laughs and jokes cracked. I mean, I literally met my husband 5 minutes ago – we can’t get too serious here.

Although it wasn’t a real wedding, the whole night went off without a glitch and I still felt like the most important (fake) bride in the world. Let’s just say, this wedding crew is unbeatable.
