Kristin & Derek’s Iowa E-Session

Kristin and Derek are saving the date for 3/16/13. {Whew, that's right around the corner, isn't it?!} Kristin is a doll--and one of our many Facebook friends that we'd love to meet one day! She's terrific and we're super excited to feature their e-sesh on the blog today. Kristin grew up in the Davenport, Iowa area and had their engagement photos taken there as well. They sure have a sweetness about them--which goes along perfectly with these cool, texture-laden shots and their charming wedding style.

Enjoy!

Wedding Style: Simple with clean, sleek designs
Wedding colors: Plum, Purple and Orange (Magnetstreet's: Eggplant, Pumpkin, & Carrot)
Engagement Session Location: An art museum and a local college--various locations in Davenport, Iowa.

 In celebration of their "friendly" rivalry, Kristin {who attended University of Iowa} and Derek {who attended University of Illinois} are sporting t-shirts from their respective alma maters.

 

On choosing Power of Love Save the Date Magnet
"We like to think our personalities and wedding style is just like that: simple and classic! Derek and I felt that the design we chose fit perfectly with what we had in mind--something simple, clean and classic. We also wanted to show off our wedding color (eggplant purple). We thought that design was a perfect way to achieve both of those goals!" Kristin

Vendor Shout Out

Drescher Photo * Design

I actually met Missy when she was the maid of honor and I was a bridesmaid for our mutual friend's wedding in 2009. Her husband James was their photographer. I saw that they were so nice and their work was so great that I promised myself that whenever I got married, they were going to be my photographers too!  They made us feel so comfortable (it also helped that I'd known them both from our friend's wedding!) and so relaxed that the photo session was a breeze! I love that they were able to get such great "pretty" pictures, but also some silly ones that show off our personalities.  I've already recommended James and Missy to others, and I'm so happy to be working with them.

I had so much fun playing around with colors in the personalization tool! It gave me an opportunity to find the right shade of orange to match with the dark purple color I wanted. Initially, I struggled to find an orange that would compliment the purple, and was pleased to be able to find not just one, but several options through the personalization tool that would work! Every interaction I've had with Magnetstreet has been positive, from just playing around on the website, the Facebook page, the quality of the products, everything.  Can't say enough good things about it.  :)

Congratulations Kristin and Derek! May the rest of your wedding planning go smooth and without a glitch. Thanks for sharing your engagement photos with us!
