Sometimes I feel sorry for my future daughters-in-law. It’s going to be really hard for me to just sit back and let her plan her wedding. After helping to organize and witness twelve years of wedding receptions, I have acquired many great ideas. Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about that anytime soon. This mom […]

Super Cool Brides
I get to work with some fantastic people. When I’m working with a couple leading up their big day, I get to know them very well. I like them and we joke around. As we plan, it gets me and my staff excited to see their day to come to fruition. I think […]
Water Balloon Toss
As evidence seen here, here and here, we like to have fun with our junior golfers. Since it’s summer, that means it’s the perfect time for some water balloons. Thankfully, my children are old enough to be able to tie these balloons, so I put them to work. This was at the point before their […]

Iowa State University’s Cyclone Club
I’m fully aware that this post might be the most divisive post I have ever written. I’ll just preface the whole thing by saying that I went to the University of Iowa. Hopefully that will help all of those hard core fans not hate me for enjoying my time spent with Iowa State fans. Iowa […]
Gotcha!
We have many events at the golf course. I think my favorite type of event is when we get to seriously surprise someone for their birthday. Our set up is perfect for surprising unsuspecting victims. Even those who are most suspicious. The usual method involves someone in the family asking another family member to play golf. […]
Casey’s Charities
Except for the weather (today’s an exception – today’s weather is perfect), I like living in Iowa. It’s a good place to raise a family. I don’t feel uncool because I don’t wear name brands. I know most of the people in eastern Polk county. Our schools are great. It’s safe and the traffic […]
Brady & Sara Sitting in a Tree
Brady and Sara were miracle workers in the weather department on the day of their wedding. Easily one of the most fun and laid back couples that I have had the pleasure of working with. It rained for a majority of the day, but the sun managed to make an appearance just in time for […]
Alex & Max
A few weeks ago, we had a mad rush to get everything done at our ceremony site for our first wedding ceremony of the year. Thankfully, Melissa, from Gorman House Photo shared all of her photos with me. Melissa from Gorman House was fabulous to work with. She had two second shooters, so Alex and […]
