Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden Engagement - Anna & Coleman

Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden Engagement - Anna & Coleman

Anna and Coleman reached about wanting an engagement session before they eloped in Colorado. Anna knew right away she wanted their session at the Des Moines Botanical Garden, which I’m always excited to photograph at! These two had such a sweet, gentle energy and I loved photographing it for them. I love the botanical garden because every time I go I seem to discover a new corner to fall in love with.

This was an extra special engagement session for me for several reasons. Jon and my engagement session was at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, so whenever I come back it brings back happy memories. It was extra cool when my own brother asked to take his engagement photos there 😊Madelyn and Tyler had never been, so I had fun walking around and showing them my favorite little corners of the gardens.

For the second half of Mayson’s session we went up to my favorite downtown spot to catch the sunset in all it’s glory. With Mayson serving looks the entire time it made my job easy. I literally snapped away while she glowed.
