Des Moines Capital Engagement Session | Kyle & Josie

The Iowa Capital is such a beautiful location and the law library was perfect spot to showcase Josie and Kyle’s love for one another, reading, and learning for their engagement session.

I love that Des Moines has historic, classic, and elegant photography session locations right in the heart of the city. Your engagement session can be simple, laid back, relaxed, and luxurious looking at the same time!

Des Moines Winter City Engagement Session - Laura & Derek

I photographed Laura’s older sister wedding at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden and was so excited when Laura reached out to me for her own wedding day at Toast Ankeny!

All of Derek and Laura’s major relationship milestones happen in the winter and in the city, so it made sense they take their engagement photos in the winter in the city as well. They also brought their mini Bernedoodle Norman for a few pictures which I loved! If you have pets, engagement sessions are a great time to get family photos 😊

Their engagement session is a great example that you can have vibrant photos even in the winter time when things aren’t quite looking like the winter wonderland we all envision and see on Pinterest. See for yourself below!

The Best of Both Worlds Engagement Session with Mark & Emily

As a photographer who loves the city and nature, when couples come to me and want to incorporate both into their engagement session my heart sings.

Alexa play "The best of both worlds" by Hannah Montana.

One thing I especially love about the city of Des Moines is that downtown there is a great mix of architecture and nature together.

Walking around downtown Des Moines learning about Emily and Mark’s relationship was a blast. Ending it at Waterworks Park by the water was the cherry on top. Can you believe these two locations are only 10 minutes away from each other? Just one of the many perks of Des Moines, Iowa 🥰

I’m so excited for Emily & Mark’s big day next month and cannot wait to photograph them again, this time on their wedding day! 😊

I have 8 spots available for 2023 and can’t wait to fill them with Des Moines weddings! Are you looking for a wedding photographer for your 2023 wedding day? 👇👇👇

Olivia & Grant Engagement Session

Olivia and I went to high school together. Grant and I played tennis together in college. So you can imagine my excitement when Olivia reached out to me and said her and Grant were engaged and wanted me to be their wedding photographer. 😀 I love when different parts of my life collide and I get the honor to document them! Both Olivia and Grant had such a calm and gentle presence and it truly reflected how perfect of a match they are for each other in the way the talked and treated each other during the session.

How cute is Finnegan? I’m convinced he is one of the goodest boys out there 🐶 🐾

Olivia wanted fall colors in their engagement photos and mother nature really hit that out of the park this last fall in Des Moines 🙂 I’m so excited to photograph them again on their wedding day this summer at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden!

Des Moines Iowa Engagement Session - Megan & Steven

Megan and Steven’s engagement session at Downtown Des Moines ended up being the perfect summer evening. Hanging out with these two felt like we were old friends walking around chatting. These two’s playful energy radiated between them during their session. See for yourself 😍

All the color in their session makes me excited for spring and their wedding day in Des Moines this summer!
