TAYLORING IT UP
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.
The minute I pulled up to the Des Moines Art Center snow started falling and I knew it was going to be a magical engagement session. Morgan and Justin felt the exact same way and came with huge smiles on their faces. They also brought along their cute little pup and we were able to get some photos of the whole family together.
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.
Unless you have a sentimental heart and want to recreate a specific date night, picking an engagement session location can be overwhelming. That’s why I’m sharing my top 10 picks of Des Moines engagement session locations to help you have less stress and more fun while wedding planning! There are so many gems in the city, but these are the places that I continue to come back to because of the variety and because couples genuinely love them 🙂
