Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name.

My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

For the longest time, I wondered what made a great photographer? Is it an expensive camera and equipment, or maybe the extensive education and fancy extra letter in your degree? The answer became clear to me that everyone can take a photo, but not just anyone can capture a moment. While those things help make up a photographer what is consistently remembered is how you tell a story through an image.

Hi! my name is Betsy, I am a wedding photographer based in Des Moines, IA. I started photographing special moments of my daughter, which quickly turned into a growing passion to capture beautiful moments in the people I love. My business has grown, and I have had a continuous love for photographing weddings.

I got my start many years ago when I was living back home in Chicago, at a cute little bakery, that I still visit to this day! I went back and forth between working in graphic design to cooking and baking. I started working in the bakery at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center as a part-time line cook in 2013 and in 2015 a became their in-house cake designer. In 2019 I decided to leave my position at the hotel and opened Sugar Flower Cake Design. I love seeing the joy when my clients cut into their cake and take their first bite - it makes life much sweeter! - Jennifer Smith

Eventually I hope to open a storefront, but for now operations are run out of my home in a quiet neighborhood in Windsor Heights. My passion is making sure your special day is everything you envision and more with tasty beautiful cookies

A lifelong dream of mine was always to own my own business, but it never seemed to be in the cards for me until I took a temporary position after college graduation. That position was as a floral designer, and you could say that's when I knew I had found my life's passion. From there I worked in a handful of floral shops before deciding to open my own studio. Iris & Ivy has become my labor of love. I am constantly learning new and better ways to design and honing my craft to bring each couple's vision to life. Something I hope to do for a very long time.

People love stories. They love hearing them, seeing them, retelling them. And when they want to immerse themselves in a good one, they most commonly turn to video. Since 2009, we've helped over 150 couples remember the story of their wedding day. And as a husband and wife team, we have a pretty good idea of what you'll want to look back on and see in yours. But, because this is your day and your film, we truly want to know what you want. That's why, we'll start by getting to know you and what big and small events, family and friends, and personal details mean the most to you. The end result: A wedding film that helps you relive your day.

I'm Madi! I'm passionate about a lot of things, but some of them being; my family, sunsets over the ocean, motorcycles, puppies, sustainability, and making life buddies.

I believe in helping create a beautiful day for my couple, centered around them living the day authentically. I take a laid back, documentary approach to wedding days, and let you enjoy the people and loved ones there to celebrate you.

I'm a storyteller, creator, and adventurer. I've traveled the world and don't plan on stopping now. Humans, vintage black t-shirts, walking instead of driving, dancing in parking lots, the feeling of arriving, and words are some of my favourite things. Speaking of words... Why "estorie" (est'-or-ee)? I strive to live and to tell honest stories, ones of struggle and hope and joy. "Story" comes from the Anglo-French word "estorie." The world itself has a story and I like that.

We are a Wife and Husband duo. As wedding Photographers we know it is more than just the final product...the day of is an event! We love being a part of your celebration and will help make the day a smooth and fun time for all!
