A Look Back at 2011

A look back at the fabulous couples of 2011...

Since we are almost halfway into January I figured this would be the best time of any to take a look back at 2011 unions I captured! It was such a great year, with not only GREAT and gorgeous couples, but AWESOME families and wedding parties!! I'm sure these couples feel blessed and it's no wonder why! I can't tell you how much I love what I do. I hope that it is obvious through my photos; here's my favorite portrait & detail shot from each wedding this past! :) Enjoy and to all of my 2011 couples THANK YOU for giving me the privilege of shooting your wedding, I hope you cherish your photos!!!

Looking forward to a great 2012 session! Thank you for reading and taking a peak! I hope you enjoyed this look back at a year full of gorgeous weddings! 

Pumped About 2012!!!

I can't even tell you how excited I am for 2012!

Today I got an email that I received a review threw the Knot... dispite my address not being up to date since I'm rocking a studio in Clive now I couldn't be happer! What did the review say.... Read below or Check it out here...

"Leslie Cowger does an great job in getting unique shots that are very creative and fun! As an artist that was something that I really desired in my wedding pictures and she did an excellent job! The quality is great, the price is definitely affordable- she gives a few options to choose from. She is great to work with and very easygoing! So happy with the results..."

Thank you Brittany for this review. I loved shooting your wedding and it makes me so happy to know that you are happy with everything! :)

Matt & Nicole {good things for those who wait}

    What a beautiful day!! Matt and Nicole are such great people they have an amazing faith in God that was very evident in their ceremony and love for each other. I had SO much fun laughing at all the crazy things this wedding party threw my way!!! I LOVED it! There was a blue sky and white fluffy clouds! You really couldn't ask for much more!...I usually say much more about the wedding before revealing the photos but I think it's sooo obvious how much Matt and Nicole love each other just by looking that this little peak... I hope you agree because here it is!!...

Tallis & Tyler {The World Is Not Enough...but love is!}

     Tallis and Tyler are a blast! Such a great couple and they had a great wedding party rallied around them! They have been together since High School and so it was great seeing how close they are with each others families!! There wedding was a little different for me, Tyler reminded me a lot of my brother, both good looking guys that have easy going personalities but are true gentleman! I hope that someday he finds a great girl like Tallis because she is truly a beautiful person inside and out, and so classy! (PS... my brother has a great g/f now so maybe he needs to just realize what he's got hehehe!!)
     Tyler made a AWESOME best man's badge for his brother LOVED IT! And Tallis' dress was custom made from the fabric of the wedding dress worn by both her grandma and mother! It was fantastic! The couple looked like a pair out of a movie! (A James Bond movie....which is why the title is "the world is not enough"...which is a James Bond movie, Yes I know I'm corny!!)

Here is a preview of some of my favorites!...
