Alison and Caleb Engagement Session | Des Moines Engagement Photographer

These two. Where do I even start. With lots of heart eyes for sure.

I met Alison and Caleb behind the Des Moines Art Center at The Clare & Miles Mills Rose Garden. They specifically requested a nature filled engagement session because like me they enjoy spending their time outside. As soon as we started the session I knew we were going to have a great time together. These two are so sweet and genuine with each other and all their tender moments together were so stinking cute. I was saying “Oh my gosh you guys are the cutest'“ every other photo and they’d just smile and continue to be the cutest.

By the middle and end of the session Caleb asked for few specific poses which I LOVED. Can all guys be this into their engagement session? 😉 These two were so trusting of me and were up for whatever which had my heart pitter pattering and it paid off big time. Scroll through to see for yourself!

Okay, story time about the next set of photos.

At our second location, Caleb had a book under his arm and explained when they were in South Africa they would go to book stores and buy different books together. When family visited they made them take books back because they had so many. So now they have all these books they collected in their home and mementos of their time in South Africa together. He wanted to incorporate one of the books because they spent 6 months together in South Africa. My sentimental heart about exploded.

I love how intentional these two are with their relationship. From the stories they told me to the way the held each other during their session; I cannot wait for their wedding at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden this August.

Iowa Spring Wedding Styled Shoot | Des Moines Wedding Photographer

It always feels great to flex my photography and creative muscles after a long Iowa winter. The weather was so nice that we actual shot went downtown Des Moines and shot outside for the second half of the shoot, which felt and was amazing. 😊 Grace T Photography put on the styled shoot and I’m so happy I was able to participate. Cassidy and Christian have been married a little over 2 years now and from these photos you’d assume they are still in their honeymoon stage. I cannot wait for this years wedding season and all the amazing couples I have the opportunity to work with. Here’s to the 2019 wedding season 😘
