crystal and jeremy's engagement session
I photographed Crystal and Jeremy
in Rogers for their engagement session last Saturday. I'm bummed that I'm not
photographing their wedding in Memphis, but it was fun to get to know them a
little bit. Here are a few of my
favs...

october 8, 2006 - emily + charles
I was so excited to photograph
the wedding of Emily and Charles at Mildred B. Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista.
Emily looked absolutely stunning and Charles cleaned up really nicely! :) Their
reception followed at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers.
The flower girl was sooo cute. I love that I captured this kiss!
Charles catching his first glimpse at his bride...
I could photograph every wedding here and be completely happy! It's simply gorgeous!
Emily's dress was beautiful too
Congrats you guys! I am so happy for both of you!

November.

september 30, 2006 - elizabeth + chuck
Cyndi and I were in Central
Arkansas for Elizabeth and Chuck's wedding at the All Souls Church in Scott,
Arkansas. We actually went to the Univ. of Arkansas and the Wesley Foundation
with Elizabeth, but we didn't really put it together that she was who we were
photographing until about a week before the wedding. It was really fun to
photograph the wedding of someone we knew. By the way, our Garmin GPS failed us
trying to find the church. A good tip for other photographers reading this...
always give yourself plenty of time to get to the wedding! You never know when
something might go wrong. But I
digress...
This is Dan. I'm told Dan goes everywhere with Chuck and his friends. It was only fair to have him in his monkey suit for the big day.
A little Taboo before the vows...
A little detail...
I love this exit shot!
Cyndi and I were so thrilled to be a part of your wedding. Congrats again!

september 23, 2006 - jana + tom
My final Iowa wedding was Jana +
Tom's. They were married on Saturday, September 23rd at the Des Moines Botanical
Center, followed by their reception. It was totally different that what I am
used to photographing and I loved every minute of it. I knew I would have a
great time with these two just like I did on their engagement
shoot.
If you've never been to the Botanical Center, it is really a cool place to go.
The flowergirls were really adorable...
Jana and Tom walked each other down the aisle
The ceremony was gorgeous!
They really enjoyed the cake
It was so much fun to photograph your wedding. You two are so cute together! Congratulations!

september 9, 2006 - erin + aj
I'm a little behind on my
blogging, but I wanted to share my favs from Erin + AJ's wedding. They were
married last Saturday at Smith Chapel on Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa and
their reception followed at The Temple for Performing Arts in Des Moines. When I
photographed their engagement, it ended up raining on us toward the end. This
time it started raining on us early during the best lighting for outside formals
I have had in a while. Erin was Angela's (of Angela + Korey) maid of honor last
year and liked my style so much they brought me back! It was good seeing a lot
of the same people in at at this wedding.
The guys watching the Iowa/Syracuse game before we got started
The flower girl was the cutest!
AJ and Erin's first look
The bling... I mean rings.
Erin and her gals
AJ and the guys
Erin looked gorgeous... so it was like any other day
The chapel was incredible looking with the flowers running down the aisle
Korey sang during the ceremony.
Getting on the bus... in the rain.
Toasting...
Congrats to you two again! Hope you had fun in Aruba!

Calling all seniors!!!
Hey everyone out there in blog

and are or know of somebody who wants to get their senior pictures done within
the next couple of months, just have them email us at studio@adamdodson.com or call us at 479-586-5491 to book a
senior portrait session. The first 7 get a free session ($75 value), up to two

Need a Townhouse in Ankeny, Iowa?
As some of you may know, Cyndi
and I lived in Ankeny for about a year and a half before we decided to move back
to NW Arkansas. Thing is, we still own our townhouse in Ankeny. This is
basically a plug to get the info out, so don't mind me! :) You can see the
listing on RE/MAX's website. If you or someone you know is
looking for a house in central Iowa, this is the one for them! :) Interested?

august 26, 2006 - kari + aaron
This past weekend, Cyndi and I
were back in Iowa for a long weekend in the Metro area. We were there to shoot
Kari and Aaron's wedding. If you read the blog often, you probably remember
seeing their engagement and bridal sessions a while ago. We were in Ames Friday
for the rehearsal dinner and Saturday for the wedding. The wedding was held at
Bethesda Lutheran Church in Ames followed by the reception at The Gateway Hotel.
This is what happens when you poke the bride in the head with the pointy part of the veil!
Putting the shoes on...
The guys raiding the food before it all starts...
The church was really cool...
I caught this during the recessional...
We were able to sneak into Jack Trice Stadium for a few pictures
This is Tony Bohenkamp. He is formerly of The Nada's in Des Moines. This was the second wedding I've been to where he played and all I can say is "wow." This guy does it all and I highly recommend any Iowa brides have him perform at your wedding reception.
Dancing...
The action in this shot cracks me up!
We had a blast with the two of you! Hope you win BIG in Vegas!

august 19, 2006 - angie + dan
I have been meaning to blog about
this wedding for a week, but haven't had a chance while I have been catching up
on my work. On August 19th, Cyndi and I were happy to stay in NWA and shoot
Angie and Dan's wedding at Mildred B. Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista,
Arkansas followed by the reception at Loch Lomond Yacht Club. The Chapel is a
gorgeous place to get married, as you'll see from the images. So, without
further ado...
Angie getting dressed in the office...
Told you so...
The happy, married couple...
On their way to the reception...
They had a brown cake which made for some cool "blown out" cake shots...
Can you spot the rings?
Dan's sisters wrote a song about the couple and it included hand gestures! Very nice!
These two tore up the dance floor with their crazy salsa dancing. We were all in awe!
Just playing around with some blurring...
Congratulations to both of you. We are so happy for you!

august 12, 2006 - jessica + chad
One part of working for myself as
a photographer that I like is traveling to towns all across the country and
getting to see just what they offer. Today, I was in Fairbank, Iowa for Jessica
and Chad's wedding. Fairbank is a really nice, small town with a LOT of
character including some really nice parks close to downtown. Jessica and Chad
were married at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and their reception at the
American Legion Hall followed. I had a really great time with these two and am
really happy for
them!
The fellas GQing it up!
Just in case you're wondering where Fairbank is...
It got a little hot and Chad found a way to keep the sweat out of his eyes
Oh yeah!
The cake looked really good...
...and apparently it was so good Chad wanted it all to himself! I love the look on Jessica's face! :)
Congratulations again to you two! Have fun in Minnesota!

august 5, 2006 - marcy + marty
I headed back to Des Moines for
the weekend to shoot Marcy and Marty's wedding. It didn't snow today like I
wanted, but the heat wasn't unbearable like the past couple of weeks. Marcy and
Marty were married at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in West Des Moines with
their reception at the Iowa Historical Building in Downtown Des Moines. Karl
from Johnson Video
Productions came along to assist me for the day and we had a really
great time. This is one of the most fun couples to be
around!
Interesting story about this photo. Everything was set for a limo to take the ladies to the church to get ready, but the limo didn't show up! They "commandeered" the shuttle at the Embassy Suites (okay, the Embassy Suites was more than happy to help out... no "commandeering" was necessary) and made it to the church.
Getting loosened up before the reception...
BTW... this isn't the limo they hired. That company never showed up.
The reception hall
I really liked the lights out on the terrace where the dancing was held. It made for some great pictures!
I love the looks on both of their faces!
Marcy and Marty, it has been so much fun getting to know you and I hope you have a fun and safe trip on your honeymoon! Talk to you when you get back!

Update about web server
I said below that I would give
more on why I haven't been updating my blog. Well, for the past two or so weeks,
I have been migrating my website over to a new server. I of course have my
online galleries hosted on my own site so it made it a little harder to move
those over. Luckily, the crew at Skooks Kart were there to help me get it all
set back up. Now the good
news...
