Hello friends! I am a photographer and graphic designer based out of Des Moines, Iowa. I have been shooting since I was 16 years old. After high school, I decided to continue to grow my passion at Grand View University where I received a BA in Photography and Graphic Design in 2018. In March 2020, I decided to expand my business to focus more on weddings, families, and seniors. I love connecting with my clients and photographing them in their most natural state. During the day when a camera is not in my hand, you will be able to find me hanging out at home with my lovely husband, Matt, and hyperactive Dalmatian pups, Winnie and Finn. ​

Meghan did a tremendous job photographing our big day! So much that we have used her since then for a mini-session! From the moment we reached out to Meghan she was incredibly organized and detail oriented - it took away a lot of stress on our part! Family moments, first looks, dancing shots, and of course all the fun ideas we had - she got every moment perfectly. Receiving our photos was so exciting and we love being able to look back on our big day. Believe me, we look at them A LOT! I cannot recommend MEG Photography & Design enough! She will capture your big day, special family moments, Christmas card..anything!

Emily Cloutier Photography

When I shoot photography, it’s not about composing the perfect pictures or getting a great shot. Yes, those things are essential. But, to me, photography is so much more. It’s about capturing a moment in time that you will forever be able to look back on and feel something magical.

Emily has taken pictures for us on multiple occasions including our wedding, family pictures, and professional pictures for our business. And there’s a reason we keep coming back! What we love most is that Emily brings life to our pictures. They’re not just portraits, she captures the energy of the moment and expresses our life through her photographs. Whether it’s an important moment in our lives we wish to remember or, as with our professional portraits, a representation of us to show the world, she brings out who we are rather that just making an image of us.

Jeannemarie Photography

  • Serves Dorchester, SC

I found my way behind the camera after years of art directing in the fashion industry in NYC. I always loved photography as it captures a moment in time, frozen forever. Taking my knowledge & experience from my fashion days, mixing it with my love for romance, love & art I made the leap to weddings. I photograph film in which I believe that is has a romantic dreamy elegance that only film can capture. I’m based in Honolulu,Hawaii, and I love to travel. Exploring the world to learn about new cultures, meet new people, get lost in a museum and drive the countrysides taking in the sublime sceneries around brings me joy.

The photos we have previewed so far, have turned out perfect. For our wedding day, it was stress free and flowed seamlessly, which if you have a big family (or party) is significant especially since you need to corral them for photos. She met with us beforehand to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted from our special day. The day of, she helped us move our pictures along (while still taking breathtaking photos by the way, one of them is going to be life sized on our wall) so that we could really enjoy our wedding. We still cannot believe how perfect our wedding was and cannot thank her enough for capturing it. Mahalo nui loa!! (Thank you very much)

I believe in you and the impact of your story. I believe in marriages— that strong marriages have the potential to change the course of history, and that the story of your love should be cherished, remembered, and retold for generations. I believe in timeless wedding photographs that will last a lifetime, for marriages that will last a lifetime. Because your story matters.

We cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Sarah for our wedding. Not only were her photos stunning, her professionalism and calming demeanor made every second of our day that much more enjoyable. Sarah was with us every step of the way and made us feel at ease throughout the entire day. She captured every single moment beautifully but also was kind, calm and patient with our very large wedding party and family! I would recommend her a million times over!

With a focus on telling your story authentically by guiding you through the moments of your day, my biggest goal is to capture how it felt. Come as you are and let me show you for years to come what your love looks like from your loved one's point of view. It's just a normal Monday. You're thumbing through your wedding album, and as your eye catches each photo, you remember. More than that, you feel it. Everything about the day: the anticipation, the joy, the emotion, the exhilaration of that exact moment it all began, surrounded by the very best. You can feel it because it's there, captured forever. That's why you work with Alexis.

Alexis is amazing to work with! We felt super comfortable the entire session and always laughing like we were old friends. Her images captured us to a T and were bbeeaaauuutttiifffuuulll!! I can not recommend Alexis enough!!!

Hello I'm Michaella I am the face behind Smile As You Mae Photography. I specialize in weddings, newborn, and family photography. I have 7+ years of experience in the industry. I mainly serve the SC+ NC region. I was born and raised in Lancaster, SC. I earned my BSN degree from the University of South Carolina Upstate. Photography was a hobby for me during nursing school. Never did I think it would take me the places I have gone. Fast forward seven years later and I have photographed over 100 weddings, 1000+ sessions, and own a photography studio right inside my hometown.

Looking for a photographer is very stressful. This was me and my husband’s first time getting any type of professional photos done as a couple. Going through Michella photos is exactly what I was looking for! After speaking with her she was very understanding and helpful with finding a place for our engagement photos. She went above and beyond at one point of our wedding it started to rain and she asked if we wanted to take a picture. I agreed not knowing that the picture was going to come out amazing!! Never could I have thought it would’ve came out the way it did and I am so grateful!

Priscilla Thomas Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Dorchester, SC

I was born on a U.S. Air Force base in Keflavik, Iceland, to parents native to Mississippi and Louisiana. My early childhood was spent in Alamogordo, NM, before my family returned to some southern comfort in Charleston, SC. Photography has been a part of my life since adolescence when I worked on the school newspaper and yearbook. During college, I contributed editorial op-ed pieces to The George Street Observer at the College of Charleston and continued to embrace photographic ventures. After college, I started freelancing in photography and writing in Charleston, SC.

Priscilla and Davis were the best to work with. As a pretty laid back bride with very little of my own input other than wanting beautiful pictures and memories, Priscilla captured EXACTLY what I asked for and more! She is amazing to work with and I highly recommend her! We love our photos

Moments by Danielle Nicole is a light and airy photographer and videographer, serving brides in South Dakota, Minnesota, and open to travel to beautiful destination locations. MBDN leans towards a luxury wedding photographer and fine art type of editing style.

We hired Danielle for our wedding after our original photo/video team cancelled on us 6 months out. As stressful as it was, I’m so glad that happened because Danielle is AMAZING. She is truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met and her light and airy photos are stunning. She is very professional and organized. She loves what she does and it shows through her work. We all know posing for pictures is awkward sometimes, but Danielle made us and our bridal party feel comfortable on the wedding day and it shows in the photos just how much fun we had with her. Danielle actually lives in SD about 45 minutes from my husband and I and we have already discussed that she will be our go to photographer for all our future photo needs. Her prices are beyond reasonable for everything included in her packages. We actually got the same amount of coverage as the original team we hired, but for about 1500 less which is huge when planning a wedding! If you’re looking for a photo/video team reach out to Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

Nikki and her sidekick did an amazing job capturing photos of our wedding day from beginning to end. We opted for the 2nd photographer and were so glad we did. That allowed us to get a large volume of pictures from multiple angles. Plus when the wedding party took a photoshoot tour of Minneapolis with Nikki, her partner captured photos of the cocktail hour at the wedding reception. The photos came out beautifully. Nikki also worked super well with our videographer, grabbing complementary shots. We have a great set of candid pics. She also composed tons of fun and creative setups for the bridal party that turned out wonderfully! For Christmas, we took (600) of the best shots and built a photobook for our parents as gifts. They were an instant hit and something we'll treasure forever. We're so glad we went with Nikki and would highly recommend you having her photograph your wedding!
