jess and john : okoboji wedding preview

A while ago I shared a straight-out-of-camera (SOOC) picture from a wedding in Okoboji, Iowa that was just incredible - perfect lighting and wonderful couple. The rest of the wedding was just as amazing!

Bride-in-mirror shots? Classic.


Newly wedded bliss.


We went to a local amusement park for some ridiculously fun shots.




...including this one, which was so much harder to capture than you'd think. I was in the car behind them and everything had to line up right...my position, their position, the lighting, the action, the focus...so worth it!


Love their first dance!


The next morning, despite a late, late night (I'm not sure that John went to bed), we all met up around 6pm at the lake to get some day-after...make that early-morning-after...shots.












Love LOVE LOOOOOOOVE!


And of course, a ring shot!


Oh, and how could I forget? The edited version of that SOOC picture. Add a little contrast for a little pop, and INSTANT FAVE.
