Jenna Garner-Hayfield 2011 Senior | Iowa Senior Photographer

Sunday evining we meet up with Jenna for some pictures. She is a to-be senior at Garner-Hayfield High School in northern Iowa and has aspirations to become a nurse after high school. Tanner edited all of these and I don’t know who annoyed him more to get them up me or Jenna! We were both super excited to see them!

We live in Iowa. Perfect time of year for some classy cornfield shots! Ahh hopefully get to take one of our July or August wedding parties into the fields again this year! I love shooting with the vivid green on the bright blue sky. Oh summer in Iowa!

Normally before senior shoots we scout out locations that we think would be fun. A few months ago we found this little gem and decided it would be an AWESOME place to take a senior!

We set up both 580 ex II’s triggered with pocket wizard plus II’s and back-lit her and used the soft box with the other for the light in front.

And of course we have to break out the 15mm fisheye for some pics!

Next we headed off to this awesome location Tanner found awhile ago a few miles out of Garner and it has so many great little spots around it!

We had Jenna hop up on some tires near the entrance and this one turned out to be my favorite of the shoot. Ahh 14mm f/2.8 lens I love you! It creates the best light flare.

Complete accident but MAN check out this sweet flare!

Last stop Clear Lake. Jenna had quite the audience from the Tiki Bar for these!

Can you tell she used to be a cheerleader?

Thanks for letting us shoot your senior pictures Jenna and have a wonderful Senior year!

Finzen Wedding | Ventura Iowa Wedding 01.31.10

If your viewing this on Facebook head on over to our blog at https://www.ztsblog.com

In an attempt to post blog posts from pre ZTS blog era here is a wedding we captured last January in Ventura for Arthur and Anna who have now been happily married for almost 6 months!

I started off the day heading to Anna’s mothers home just outside of Garner, Iowa and Tanner headed over to Mason City to meet up with Arthur the groom as he prepared for the day.

They had a great setup on the fireplace with lights setup so I decided to take some great ring shots and some of Anna’s earrings.

Anna’s mom had some wonderful blue glass in the kitchen for decoration so I draped Anna’s necklace over the glass.

Anna’s mom also had some other great colored glass so snapped a few with the ring and glass as well.

From Anna’s house we headed on over to the Ventura Community Center in Ventura, Iowa where they were going to hold the ceremony, dinner and dance.

Anna picked out a gorgeous cake!

Arthur and the groomsmen

Instead of having a unity candle they had unity sand where they poured two colors of sand into the jar in the middle. Great idea!

Arthur did a great job picking out Anna’s ring!

Aren’t they a gorgeous couple?!

Possibly my favorite shot of the day. You can thank Tanner for this great pic

A fun shot of the bridal party

Next up was dinner!

Followed by some maid of honor and best man speeches. Here is a snapshot of Anna and her sister sharing a hug after the speech.

The first dance was next on the line. The little girls attending the wedding look on eagerly as Anna and Arthur share their first dance.

Arthurs friends thought it would be a great idea to chain him down representing his newly married life…ha! Actually was a pretty amusing idea!

And after the bouquet toss we shall end with a few garter shot images.

Hope the first six months of your marriage has been fabulous Anna and Arthur!
