Stephanie and Tyler had a gorgeous day for a wedding atop the Historical Building in Downtown Des Moines. The view from the third floor terrace is simply amazing! Downtown on one side, the Capitol building on the other. We even had time for a quick jaunt over to the Papajohn Sculpture park for some totally fun shots.
Thanks for an awesome day. I hope you’re enjoying your Alaskan cruise!
Despite the questionable forecast, Nicole and John ended up with a beautiful day for their spring wedding! Congrats! 
A couple weeks ago, the aperture on my wide angle 10-22mm lens got stuck open. I’m a CPS (Canon Processional Services) member, so I get rush service as well as a nice discount on repairs. I shipped my lens in last Monday, and the repaired lens was back in my hands last Friday already! I was most impressed with the immediate turnaround, and excited to have my lens “back to factory spec”.
We shot a band promo over the weekend, and when reviewing my images off the wide angle, I immediately saw something was horribly wrong. The center of the image was relatively sharp, but the right 1/3 of the frame was terribly out of focus! The left was not quite as bad. but still not good. The depth of field when focused near infinity is so deep at 10mm, that the entire frame should be tack sharp. One problem fixed, another problem introduced. I borrowed another copy of the lens from Colin to do a side-by-side comparison, before contacting Canon about their mistake.
Canon issued me a free overnight shipping label, so the lens is now it her way back to New Jersey. Lets hope they get the repair right this time!
Here’s an example of the problem with my Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 lens.

Kira & Dan aren’t making it officially until this October, but to ensure their save-the-date cards hit before all their friends, we shot a mini engagement session for them back in February. We’re actually planning another mini session next month, which should provide them their photo-fix until the knots be tied.
I had the pleasure of photographing Stephanie & Tyler celebrating their engagement back in January, on one of the coldest days of the year! We mainly stuck to the skywalks, with a brief 5-minute excursion into the frigid arctic. These two officially tie the knot in just one month! Certainly promises to be a great time!
