Des Moines Fall Styled Shoot | Des Moines Wedding Photographer

I have always loved fall colors: burnt orange, the range of greens, mustard yellow and burgundy. I can never get enough! Just take a peek in my closet and you will understand my love for them. This fall I decided to capture them all together in an all things fall inspired styled shoot. I had the opportunity to work with some amazing local vendors and had a blast!

I’ve known Hannah since she was in middle school and met Tate at my wedding almost two years ago. The minute I saw them slow dancing together I knew I was witnessing something special. Naturally, I was so excited to see them get engaged and then when Hannah said they wanted me to photograph their wedding that was just icing on the cake!

Solomon grew up around the corner from me in Decorah and our families have always been friends. So I was so excited when his mom reached out to me about taking his senior photos! For those of you who don't know Solomon, he is super chill and easy going guy.

My First Wedding of 2018 | Polk City Wedding Photographer

My first bold business decision was to reach out to a local wedding photographer about a second shooting opportunity. I had no wedding portfolio, but she took a chance on me and boy am I glad she did! We had a great time shooting together and I learned how much I truly enjoy documenting weddings.
