Wedding photography · Des Moines, Iowa
Your day, kept the way it actually felt.
Your wedding day will be full of moments you’ll want to remember — some you’ve been planning for months, and others you won’t see coming. From the big moments to the little things happening around you, I want to capture it all so you can enjoy your day without worrying about the camera. Years from now, you’ll have photos that bring you back to the people, the moments, and everything that made the day yours.
The moments that make up your day
Getting ready
I usually start with the little details while everyone is getting ready — the dress, rings, invitations, and anything else you’ve picked out for the day. From there, I’ll capture the finishing touches, the excitement in the room, and those first reactions when everything starts to feel real. You don’t have to worry about posing or making anything happen. Just enjoy getting ready with your favorite people, and I’ll take care of the photos.
The first look
If you decide to do a first look, I’ll help get you both in place and then give you a little space to see each other and take it all in. I’ll capture the reactions, the hugs, and whatever happens naturally. It’s also a chance to spend a few minutes together before the ceremony and get some portraits done without feeling rushed later in the day.
Couple, Wedding Party & Family Photos
I’ll help you with posing and make sure everyone knows where to stand, so you don’t have to figure it all out yourselves. We’ll get photos of the two of you, your wedding party, and your family, with enough direction to make sure everyone looks their best without making things feel stiff or overly posed. I’ll also keep things moving so you can spend less time taking photos and more time enjoying your day.
The ceremony
I’ll capture the moments that make your ceremony yours, from exchanging vows to your first kiss and the reactions of the people there to celebrate with you. These are the moments you’ll look back on for years to come, and I want to make sure you have them to remember.
The reception
From the toasts and first dance to the laughs on the dance floor, I’ll capture the moments that make your reception yours. There’s a lot happening throughout the evening, and I want you to be able to enjoy it all while having photos to look back on for years to come.
