Olivia & Grant Engagement Session

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. 😀

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.

Iowa Country Winter Engagement Session - Taylor & Collin

Iowa Country Winter Engagement Session - Taylor & Collin

With Taylor and Collin’s wedding day less than a week away, it’s the perfect time to share more of their wintery engagement session. We started their session with their dog Maverick. I love when couples want to get a few photos with their pets and always recommend doing these photos during the first 15 minutes or last 15 minutes. After spending some exploring in the woods, we went to an open spot in the country that had the most beautiful views of the valley 😍I’m so excited to photograph these two again at The Hidden Acre in Waverly Iowa this Saturday with all their family and friends!

Danielle, Jake, and I all went to UNI together just a year apart and actually majored in the same thing: Graphic Design. It was so fun to reconnect and swap stories about shared experiences and professors. We started our time at the Botanical Gardens.

I met up with Ann and Wil at the Arie den Boer Arboretum in the front of Des Moines Water Works for the start of their engagement session. The fall colors were still on display and Ann’s dress was perfect for the setting around her. We bonded over mutual friends we shared and our love for the outdoors.
