Hey y’all! I’m a portrait + lifestyle photographer based in the Midwest. I’ve had some sort of camera in hand for as long as I can remember, but it got serious about 5 years ago when I purchased my first DSLR! All I’ve ever wanted to do in my life is create - but I never thought I would be where I am today. I truly am doing what I love and loving what I’m doing. xoxo, Jillian

We worked with Jillian at a wedding in Iowa City a few years ago now. She was the photographer and we were the videographer team and she was so kind and pleasant. An added bonus is that her work is stunning! Highly recommend hiring for weddings and gets an A for working with other vendors.

Jason Thomas Crocker Photography | Des Moines Wedding Photographer

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Martensdale, IA

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

Jason is simply the best! We stumbled upon him after reviewing photographers in our area and it was the biggest blessing. He was super quick to respond after we inquired about availability and before we knew it he was taking our engagement photos! We made Jason aware of when we hoped to send out save the dates for our wedding and he got our photos back to us within a week of them being taken with a preview the very next day! Jason is super open to making your photos memorable so when we wanted a few photos with our pup and us celebrating with champagne, he was all in! Fast forward to the months leading up to our big day, Jason was always there with emails to make sure he was prepared and had all the details we were looking for in our photos. We have a big family so our shot list was a little long but come wedding day, Jason was firing through those photos to make sure we stayed on schedule. We were actually ahead of schedule all day long which I know is a result of his efficiency. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we owe a lot of thanks to Jason for that. He was so personable with everyone he met and made taking photos fun! Our friends and family are still raving about Jason and we got married a little over a month ago! And can we talk about the quality of his work? They left my husband and I speechless. Jason, thank you for being you! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a kinder soul. We can’t wait to recommend you to all our friends and family and to have you capture our lives in the years to come! Love, the Barnes

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

We can’t say enough good things about them! From the start, they felt like part of the crew, super chill, easy to work with, and just fun to be around. On the big day, they somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling like they were in the way. They caught all the laughs, happy tears, and little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. And when we saw the photos/video? Absolutely blown away. It’s like they bottled up the whole feeling of the day, and now we get to relive it forever.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Corah made it so effortless for us, right from our first meeting where she carefully explained the process to us, our engagement shoot which she made so fun, to our wedding day shoot where she captured all our moments so thoughtfully! Our pictures reflect exactly who we are as a couple. They were romantic, elegant and a little quirky. She has amazing ideas on how to make you look good in the photos while keeping true to who you are! Our family (especially mine back in India) were raving about all our photos too.
