Our wedding at The Vineyard at St. Charles was a very special day. The venue's serene beauty, with its lush vineyards and elegant charm, provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. You can really tell the grounds are well maintained and that the ownership really cares about this space. The main event space exuded warmth and charm with its tasteful decor. The outdoor ceremony area, set against the picturesque vineyards, created a romantic setting for our vows. The staff were excellent. Hannah ensured everything ran smoothly, which allowed us to enjoy our day without worry. The bridal suite was spacious and luxurious and was really what sold us on this as our wedding venue.

Hi! We are Kurt and Madeline Drummond. We are a husband and wife team who are hopeless romantics and love capturing other's love stories through film. We met on Tinder, yes you read that correctly. We are a Tinder success story. #WeSwipedRight. We just got married on June 5, 2021, so we know what it is like to be on both sides of the wedding scene. When we aren't editing wedding films we are snuggled up with our son Brooks and our dog Oliver watching a movie or bellied up to the bar at Texas Roadhouse. 😊

I CANNOT recommend Proper Films enough!! We got married in the middle of COVID and had to keep switching our venues and timelines and they were nothing short of amazing. They both worked with us and never made us feel like an inconvenience or burden for changing things up. They gave amazing insight and were super fun to work with! 15/10 would recommend!

Hey friends! My name is Elizabeth and I’m a midwest photographer for the free-spirited. I call Iowa my home, but I’m always up for an adventure. My passion is capturing raw & organic moments to remember for a lifetime. I love being able to show your story by taking candid photos while being authentically you. Everything from the excited tears before the “I do”, to the laughter during toasts, my images bring back these memories for a lifetime. I’m a lover of life and people, and these two combinations make the most amazing pictures.

Liz did a first time maternity shoot with me and her photos had me in tears! She took the time to do some research before the session and that helped a lot for someone who hates having pictures taken of her! Very professional and I can’t wait to book her again :)

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

Having watched him work with hundreds of brides and seeing the results you know he is a true artist. All of his positive attributes made it a simple decision to utilize his talents for our family photos. We unequivocally support Cody and are confident he will capture your special moments.

The Prelude 

5.0

New Virginia, IA
  • Venue
  • Up to 165 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,500

prel·ude noun "An introductory performance, action, or event preceding a more important one." The Prelude was dreamed up by a couple who craved a feeling they had only experienced in far off lands and story books - They knew there were others out there who dreamed of running away to places that gave them that whimsical feeling again but couldn't see themselves ever doing it - So they decided to create a place that brought that whimsy and feeling to them - The result is one of the best & most unique venues in Central Iowa, located just 30 minutes south of Des Moines. The Prelude is for authentic people who crave a romantic dream from a vanished age. The Prelude isn't only a place that should be seen - It should be experienced.

We hosted my son's wedding at the Prelude and the entire experience could not have gone better. The venue is breathtaking! The view from The Prelude makes one feel like they're enjoying a Tuscan Vista. It was a wonderful backdrop for their art deco inspired theme. Ashley and Nathanael are the most attentive, detail oriented, and helpful hosts. Once the family and wedding party arrived, everyone was able to relax and enjoy the experience as Ashley and Nathanael ensured everything went smoothly. I would recommend The Prelude to any couple, or anyone searching for a venue for their special event.

Hi there, I'm Kirby! For those of you wondering, yes-Kirby is my real name. I'm SO excited that you have come to my page! I am a photographer serving the Des Moines, Eastern Iowa Area and beyond. In my free time you can catch me trying to keep up with my little man Eli and my husband Isaac. I love jamming out to all different kinds of music (ranging from good ol' Disney singalongs to some 90's classics), working out at home, and playing/watching sports (Go Panthers!). I often daydream about Oreos and milk, donuts and ice cream (or anything S'mores).

Awarded Best of Zola
Right off the bat — Kirby is so kind, so easy going, and made our photography journey for our engagement + wedding so incredibly stress-free while delivering the MOST BEAUTIFUL photos we could have ever imagined. When I booked with Kirby last October, I was so excited, but had NO IDEA how incredible our experience would be. Kirby is a next-level photographer and she GENUINELY CARES about her clients. I will be a client for life. From booking, Kirby reached out to us at least monthly to check in on planning and her communication made the whole process less stressful. She never left me wondering and was always giving me advice! She made the photography piece of our big day the most stress-free part. She delivered her photos for engagement and wedding ahead of her estimated deadline in the contract, and even gave us sneak peek photos a day or 2 after each session. And every photo is absolutely STUNNING. If you’re looking for a next-level photographer who cares about YOU, Kirby is really the best around. Not to mention she dealt with our giant wedding party with so much grace, all while nearly 8 months pregnant! She is so dedicated to her work, and every time I look at my photos, it still feels like a dream. I really don’t have the words to describe how amazing my experience with a Kirby was, Nevin + I are so grateful!

A Special Event DJ & Photo Booth

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves St. Marys, IA

Born from a long time love of music, an entrepreneurial spirt, and an eye for design and organization ASE DJ was started 18 years ago. Tim, a musician and savvy entrepreneur immediately saw a need in the DJ industry for a professional approach to great weddings and with Missi’s eye for design, organization, and marketing they have grown to be the midwest’s most requested Wedding Entertainment Company with 3 locations and an amazing team of people. A true "American Dream” story; their once “side hustle” has blossomed into a full time growing business that also employs their children and is still sparking their creativity to this day.

ASE helped ease our minds throughout the entire planning process! The entire team, start to finish, made our big day a breeze! We loved that they sent out an email the week of to all of the vendors ensuring that they were all on the same page! ASE even pulled off a suprise photobooth rental, gifted to us by my (the brides) parents! DJ RJ was the best! We threw a lot of "untraditional" reception ideas at him and he went with it, supported it and best of all, had fun with it! We had a great time and RJ really listened to our requests! We gave him a broad genre of music and he got it right! The entire team was truly the best! Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a quality company who care for every single wedding they work!

I’m a wedding photographer in Des Moines, Iowa. I want to help document your happily ever after. When I’m not shooting weddings, I enjoy spending time with friends, writing, and reading good books. Weddings hold a special place in my heart, and I would love to help document your special moments.

Haley is amazing to work with! We needed extra help for health reasons and Haley jumped in to help where she could. She delivered photos exactly how our contract stated and in a timely fashion. One camera of ours broke during the photoshoot and Haley in no time was there to step up to help us take care of the issue. She is a true Life Saver! Couldn't have gotten through the day without her!

  • Serves St. Marys, IA

Photography has always been my happy place - I started shooting professionally after graduating college in 2017. Posing is necessary for some shots, however, I want to capture you being you. Let's have some fun together! I believe the best shots are the ones where you are feeling comfortable and being yourself. My personal assistant is my puppy, Theo. He loves to spend the day cuddled up under my desk while I'm editing. When I'm not shooting or editing sessions you can find me drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee, running with my pup or spending time with my loved ones.

From a videographers perspective, Susan was absolutely great to work with! She made sure to communicate with me throughout the day so we could both provide the best coverage possible for the couple. She was great at working with and posing the couple which always makes my job easier, and resulted in a beautiful photo gallery and film. I would highly recommend Susan to anybody looking for a photographer and hope to get the chance to work with her again in the future! :)

The property is beautiful, and the venue can be made to fit your vision no matter what it is.

Their communication throughout the planning process was quick, responsive, and polite - they made sure we were on the same page about the vibe we wanted for our reception. The day-of, they absolutely crushed it by reading the room and adapting the song choices and energy based on how our guests were responding. The music, emceeing, and photobooth they provided were high quality and kept everyone dancing all night long. We got so many compliments from our families about how fun, engaging, and talented they were. I would highly recommend Lonumn - they were integral to making our wedding a blast for us and our loved ones!

Something Borrowed Blooms 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves St. Marys, IA

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

Just rent the flowers y’all - after getting multiple thousands of dollars in quotes from florists for our tiny dinner party wedding I started to look for other options. SSB had great reviews, in person or zoom consultations and a VERY helpful FB group that helped me pull the trigger even being pretty skeptical that the quality wouldn’t be there. Fast forward to the day I unboxed them and I was floored, some of the petals even FEEL REAL. Don’t know how they do it. Shipping was easy, fast and return labels were in sticker form to just pop back on. Our guests had no idea they weren’t real, especially with our low light reception it was impossible to tell. It was a breezed - we spent about 450 for 9 large centerpieces, bouquet and a few boutonnières for the guys from the Marlowe collection rather than the 2-3k quite well we’re getting from florists here in Atlanta that at the end of the day aren’t sustainable and would have looked the same (at best). Just rent the flowers y’all.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves St. Marys, IA

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

We had a tropical themed wedding and used Flower Moxie for tropical flowers and greenery: bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, ceremony arch flowers. I wish there were more tropical related videos on their DIY Academy, but I did love working with my assigned florist and the help desk was quick in their response. For those who are getting married at the same location that the flowers are being delivered (my parents' home), I wish we would have done all of the floral arrangements the day before instead of 2 days before. And our spray roses came a day later and were a little sad looking. But overall, we were very happy with the service and highly recommend to others!

We had a WONDERFUL experience with Love ENT and Gerry Joseph as our DJ for our wedding a couple weeks ago, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better company and DJ to work with. From the very beginning, Mike and Gerry were super accommodating, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole process. We had met with Gerry a couple times before our wedding and told him what kind of music we like, and he made us feel very reassured that he understood exactly what we were looking for and let me tell ya, he did not disappoint! When it came to our wedding day, Gerry absolutely CRUSHED it! The wedding was such a blast and we got so many compliments on the music- Every song he played was such a hit! We had a wide variety of guests and Gerry did an amazing job at reading the crowd and playing what was hitting depending on who was on the dance floor. One of the things I really appreciated about Love ENT is that they are all truly skilled and experienced DJs that know how to cater to the audience and don't just play songs from a generic playlist. It made our wedding feel so genuinely candid and fun and we had such a blast. 10/10 would recommend Gerry and Love ENT again and again!

We weren't going to have a videographer due to budget and a few other reasons but decided last minute we didn't want to regret not doing it and Britt was up for the last-minute job! He was great at communicating throughout beginning stages, reliable, and took away some stress knowing he was fully capable for the job. There may or may not be many videographers out there. I guess I really don't know. But what I do know is Britt Nelson drove several hours, and across state lines, through torrential rain fall, hydroplaned on the highway to the point of completing 2 and a half full rotations in his vehicle, and still managed to make it to our wedding on time. He then flew his drone against all recommendations in aggressive winds to get us the perfect shots of our ceremony and reception venues. Now the drone took some minor damage in the crash, but the fantastic footage he got of our entire wedding day certainly did not. He managed to score all the great angles at all the perfect times and did so with such ninja skill that had we not received the footage we would have never known he was even there (no offense Britt). All we can say is regardless of whether or not there are tons of videographers out there, Britt Nelson is one of the best!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

She effortlessly directed us and our families during wedding sessions, ensuring every shot was perfect. I'm sure that Grace's creative ideas for poses will add a unique touch to our album, capturing the essence of our love story beautifully. We look forward to seeing her photos in about 8 weeks. Her calm presence on the day put us at ease. Grace is not just a talented photographer; she's a joy to work with. Thank you, Grace, for immortalizing our special day so beautifully!
