Storyteller Collective Photo Co., proudly located in Ames and serving the vibrant community of Des Moines, Iowa, and beyond. I began this company many moons ago with a solid purpose - to make people feel something and to evoke genuine emotions through my photography. My passion lies in documenting individuals as they live their best lives, immersed in the activities and passions that fuel their souls. As a non-traditional photographer, I thrive on capturing authentic memories rather than elaborate setups. It's about freezing moments in time that speak volumes and resonate deeply with those who experience them.

We are so happy with the photos that Storyteller Collective Photo Co captured of us and the dogs. I love the life we have created. And I love even more that we now have some photos that show all the love and happiness of that life. Jayme was so easy to work with, she made us feel comfortable & brought out our true selves!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar.

After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

My photography journey began in 2016 in Western New York where I grew up. Over the years, I started capturing weddings and officially embraced the title of “wedding photographer” in 2018. Though I didn’t initially set out to be a photographer, what started as a hobby at 13 has blossomed into one of my greatest passions. I am currently based in Des Moines but I’m always open to traveling wherever you are. My passion extends to both photography and videography, and I would to be your go-to girl for capturing genuine moments that make you feel loved, and like your authentic self.

We are SO thankful for Whitney!! Our wedding day was seamless because she was so professional yet extremely personal! She was organized & experienced, yet still super flexible for whatever we wanted! Our photos came back super fast & we absolutely LOVE them!

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

On the day of the wedding and through the prep leading up to the big day, her fun and friendly personality shone through. She was organized, calm, and seamlessly blended into the background while still guiding us through various moments. The quality of her work is truly outstanding; every photo is beautifully composed and tells a story. She has an incredible eye for detail, capturing not just the big moments but also the little, candid interactions that made our day unique. We are absolutely thrilled with the final images and grateful for the memories she helped preserve.

I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

Milieu 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Gowrie, IA for additional fees

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

I specialize in capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions through a storytelling + editorial style approach - I celebrate the beauty of moments that sing, people who dance, and the essence of love. I can promise every shot will tell a tale that lingers in the heart! I cannot wait to tell your story!!

Anna is absolutely incredible and such a pleasure to work with. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is absolutely phenomenal as well. I have never been so pleased with a photographer before! Her editing is beautiful and she really can just capture emotions in her photos. Her photography became my favorite aspect of my wedding. She did not only our wedding photos, but a few other shoots as well, including our engagement photos. She is honestly the only person I would trust/recommend to capture your sweet wedding memories. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how much I cherish the photos that she has taken for the special moment in our lives.
