Brynn + Jakob | Hitchcock Nature Center, Honey Creek, IA


This engagement session started exactly how I wish every session could start—at the bar! Well, technically, a really cute and quiet brewery in Council Bluffs called Full Fledged Brewing Company. Brynn works there a few hours a week, so it was the perfect spot to kick things off. I loved incorporating something so personal and meaningful into their session, especially since visiting breweries is one of Brynn and Jakob’s favorite things to do together.


After capturing some fun and laid-back moments at the brewery, we headed to Hitchcock Nature Center in Honey Creek, Iowa, just in time for the most incredible golden hour. The light was absolutely magical, and every second of this session felt like a dream. Brynn and Jakob were so natural and fun together—it’s easy to see how much they love each other.


Brynn and Jakob, thank you for inviting me to capture such a special time in your lives. I can’t wait to see what your future holds!
