Sheri and Justin

Posted on August 10, 2011 by Carl Bromberg

This past Sunday I met up with Sheri and Justin to take some 1 year anniversary portraits!

We started out in downtown Cedar Rapids, then made our way to Ellis Park. We all had a great time and Justin was really into it! LoL, if you know him, ask him about Volkswagen Bugs! 😉 Sorry Justin, I had to!

A huge congratulations to Sheri and Justin on their upcoming anniversary, and a big thank you for choosing Visions Photography!

As Always have a great day and Stay Positive!

Leah and Taylor

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Carl Bromberg

Last Saturday I met Leah and Taylor at Palisades-Kepler State Park for their engagement pictures!

We started out with a little hike to the stone gazaebo where there ended up being no wind, really hot and sticky. We grabbed a few shots there then went down to the beach area where there was a breeze and about half the humidity. MUCH better, LoL!

They were both super to work with and up for anything! I had fun and think they did too! I’ll be photographing their wedding on Aug. 27.

Thank you Leah and Taylor for choosing Visions Photography! 🙂

As Always have a great day and Stay Positive!

Amore’ Couple Sessions

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Carl Bromberg

We found a way to take our couple sessions to the next level. 🙂

The verbiage below and concept for these sessions are directly from a fellow photographer named Jesh De Rox http://www.jeshderox.com/ Thank you so much for the inspiration Jesh! 🙂

The photography is mine! 🙂

While the beginning of a journey together certainly deserves celebration, as your journey with each other continues, each additional step is an achievement worth celebrating just as much, if not more.

Because of the way our minds work, the clarity we have about the importance of the ones we love can become muddy over time. Though always within our reach, responsibilities, and misunderstandings can stack up between us. Our ability to recognize what is precious is often set aside.

If a social ritual could be established in which couples are regularly invited to experience what is most precious in each other, the ripple effect of that clarity could shift the world. This is the dream of Amore’ Couple Sessions.

Amore’ is not just a photo session, it’s a celebration of the love between you! It’s designed with fun little exercises. These exercises are designed to bring the two of you closer and rekindle that fire you shared when you first started dating. This will in turn create some awesome moments to capture.

As Always have a great day and Stay Positive!

Annie and Helen

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Carl Bromberg

Last Saturday, my buddie and awesome 2nd photographer Jaime Moquin and I went out and did some “practice shooting” in the worst possible light of the day, yes that dreaded mid afternoon light with those “harsh” shadows. No fill flash allowed only a reflector and in some cases no reflector.

Annie and Helen graciously volunteered to be our models for the afternoon and they were a lot of fun to work with! Both Jaime and myself had a blast working with them and just playing around. Best thing is we got some great pictures of both Annie and Helen, and we all had a lot of fun in the process!

LoL, guess the “new guys” didn’t show up! 😉 (Check out the sign in the window)

As Always have a great day and Stay Positive!

Brenda and Adam

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Carl Bromberg

Brenda and Adam were married on June 25, 2011 at Saint John’s Lutheran church in Newhall Iowa. The reception was at Terra Hills Country Club in Van Horne, Ia.

Words can’t describe how awesome these two are! You can just “feel” the love they have for each other by just being around them! Photography wise, they were up for anything including a walk in the rain with those great red umbrellas Brenda brought!

Congratulations to Brenda and Adam and thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

A special thank you also to Jaime Moquin for your great 2nd camera work, you got some awesome shots at Terra Hills! 🙂

I saved the best shots for last. Jaime and I got some awesome shots at the Terra Hills Country Club, beautiful couple, beautiful clouds, beautiful grounds, fantastic late evening light! What more can a couple of photographers ask for? 🙂 Ahhhhh, I SO love my job! 🙂

This was one of those weddings where everything went perfectly, a little rainy in the morning, but the weather overall was fantastic and cleared up by evening making for some great shots outdoors.

At the very end there is also a slide show if you care to take a look at the full story of the day!
