As a photographer, there are certain sessions that just resonate with you on a deeper level. When Emily and Caleb reached out to me for their 2024 wedding, I knew it was going to be something special. Not only are they getting married in my hometown of Dubuque, Iowa, but Emily also attends my alma mater, Iowa State University. It felt like destiny bringing us together to capture their love story.
Emily and Caleb’s journey began in the halls of Hempstead High School, where they were high school sweethearts. Their romance blossomed in the orchestra room, and it wasn’t long before they graduated and embarked on different paths. Emily pursued her passion for engineering at Iowa State University, while Caleb enlisted in military school in South Carolina.
Despite the distance and different directions, their love endured. It was during a festive 4th of July weekend when Emily visited Caleb’s school that he decided to make their love official. Walking along the waterfront, Caleb got down on one knee and asked Emily to be his forever love.
What makes Emily and Caleb’s love story so inspiring is not just their commitment to each other but also their shared values. Both are kind, caring, hardworking individuals with a strong focus on family. They admire each other for all the same reasons, making their bond even stronger.
As I captured their fall engagement session, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia visiting the campus where Emily continues to pursue her dreams. Iowa State University holds a special place in my heart, and being able to photograph this milestone for Emily and Caleb felt like coming full circle.
As their wedding day approaches in May, I find myself eagerly anticipating the joyous celebration that awaits. It’s clear that Emily and Caleb are surrounded by love, and I feel grateful to be a part of their journey. Cheers to Emily and Caleb, may your love continue to grow and flourish with each passing day. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness together, surrounded by your friends and families.
