I've been photographing weddings since 2019, and went full time in 2020. Helping people feel confident and beautiful is such a fulfilling part of this job, and being the go to on the day of your wedding is such a thrill- there's nowhere else I'd rather be! (Except maybe on a coffee date with my toddler- but thats beyond the point lol)

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an intimate ceremony and a small reception at a garden. Photos were very important for us, and Corah delivered more than we asked for! 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. I didn’t even know she was capturing some of the moments that she did on our wedding , and I couldn’t be any more thankful! Be well-prepared to gain a friend and for those happy tears if you hire Corah!

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Lauren on a wedding in Colorado a few years ago and I know the bride LOVED working directly with her. The bride didn't have to worry about a thing the day of which was extremely helpful since it was a destination wedding and everyone was from out of state. Lauren was friendly, meticulous, detail-oriented, and ultimately a pleasure to work with. I am a photographer and spend the entire day with the wedding couple and it was so great to see the bride not have to worry about a thing the day of because she knew Lauren had it handled already. I have also attended a styled wedding photoshoot that Lauren and Mercedes hosted this year and that was also amazing! I was blown away by the details and overall theme to it and it made for some fantastic photos to add to my portfolio. Whenever I see a wedding couple looking for a planner or day or coordinator, I always recommend Elizabeth Bliss Events!

DJ DAS is one of our very favorite DJS. As a Venue Owner it is very important that the DJ our Booked Couples hire make their guests enjoy the evening. After 50 wedding+ we know that all DJS are not created equal. When we view our Booked Couples Wedding Planner they submit to us a few weeks before the wedding there are 2 places we quickly glance at to determine it is going to be a good event. The first is the caterer and the second is the DJ. If their DJ spot says "DJ DAS" then we know its going to be a good wedding reception. Because when DJ DAS is in the house everyone is happy!

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.

Cody was brilliant! I could not recommend him enough. I’m usually very camera anxious and hate my picture being taken so having a photographer follow me around for an entire day would typically be my nightmare. However, Cody made me so comfortable and was such a calming energy. I LOVE how our photos turned out and my husband and I look so natural and fantastic in every picture! My only complaint it how I’m going to be able to decide which ones to frame for my walls…I may need more walls!

I love a good love story. There’s nothing I enjoy more than photographing the kind of love that sets the soul on fire. Or capturing the excitement that comes from saying ‘yes’ to forever with your best friend. I’m empowered by the couples who are passionate about life but don’t take it too seriously. The ones who crave adventure and aren’t afraid to blaze their own trail. Who value connection and intentional conversation while making the time and space in their relationship to grow in love and as individuals.

Emily - and her husband, Dan - are an absolute joy to work! They put as much effort into trying to be helpful, and to be a friend to you, as they do into getting incredible photos. They’re easy to communicate with, fun to be around, as professional as they come, more creative than you can imagine, and the end product will leave you breathless! Absolutely cannot recommend them enough!

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.

ASEDJ was a blessing when our original band plan fell through. Shockingly they had availability just months before our wedding but that's due to them having several DJs on staff, not just one. The booking process was thorough - they schedule a call before booking where they provided plenty of info. After booking they provided a website to plan our timeline, must plays, and do not plays. Month of you're given a schedule and are eventually assigned a DJ. They offer a photobooth, dance floor, a DJ with a drummer, as well as wedding planning. Idk if they would have been our first choice when we began planning but they were extremely thorough and helpful when we needed them the most! Only complaint was they didn't come close to playing all of our "must" plays but otherwise a great vendor and well experienced in tons of Des Moines Metro venues which is a huge plus.

He improvised and adapted to every unique situation on the night with a musical and social sense of awareness that we continue to be grateful for. He even graciously agreed to play alongside Andrea's 94 year old grandmother on her accordion. Grandma is still beaming from this experience, and trust me, she's a hard woman to please. Seriously. I don't think we can ever repay him for the joy and energy he brought to our night.

When we were looking for a photographer we were struggling so much to find someone that wouldnt break the bank, but wouldn't deliver crappy pictures either. When we found Jessica Boone Visual Arts, we were so excited to get such a reasonable price. I got even more excited when I spoke with her, because I am telling you, it was some of the best customer service I have ever had.

I was absolutely blown away with not only how the pictures turned out but also how patient, helpful, and fun she was!! After seeing only a few of our engagement photos, I knew I needed her for our big day. Jessica worked with me and made sure everything was perfect! (She and her assistant even helped with my dress SEVERAL times throughout the day! Oh, and fixing my husbands crooked bowtie.) All of our guests keep commenting on how jaw-droppingly beautiful our winter wedding photos are. I truly believe Jessica Boone is one of the most creative and talented photographers in the area! She will work with you on your dream photos... whether it's location, style, or simply being great in front of the camera. Thank you again Jessica for the most beautiful photos I get to enjoy forever. We would rate you 100 on a scale of 1-5, seriously.

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. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. 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!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I am a micro-wedding venue owner. Earlier this year, I selected Nina to shoot for my brand. Nina has a very unique eye. Her work is incredibly creative and she maintains a style of her own. She is unusually easy to work with and brought out the best of our real life couple/ models. She has been willing to make ongoing edits & has also given us direction on social media. Her continued client service is excellent. I am a huge fan of her work and look forward to our next project together! Check her out!

We have proudly been serving our couples and families for over 17 years, and every year we fall more in love. My name is Jen, the owner of Farmhouse Studios. At the young age of 17 we begin our photo journey with zero idea it would become what it is today. Having shot over 1000 weddings worldwide, we have been gifted with the most beautiful gift of sharing in the most joyous days of our couples lives. We cherish all of the memories, adventures, and creative moments we have shared!

As all brides, I was hoping to find a photographer who would capture the essence of my wedding day. Not just the posed photos, but the behind-the-scenes glimpses as well. Jenni Machir with The Farmhouse Studios exceeded all my hopes by far! She not only made the wedding party and guests feel comfortable, but I hardly noticed she was there once the party got started. She somehow managed to focus on the details without being distracting or imposing. Jenni will ask you to trust her, and it is well worth it. She has a natural eye, and the experience to back it up. When it came to getting the shot, Jenni was not afraid to roll around in the grass, walk through weeds, and move branches out of the way to make it happen. She was relentless for 8 hours and showed patience and grace the entire time. The turnaround time was shockingly fast, and I am not kidding when I say that every single picture is stunning. I can't stop looking at them and am SO happy I will be able to relive the memories through the photos. If you're wondering where to find a photographer who will make your wedding vision come to life, I urge you to contact her!

I’m Laura Nichole! Welcome to my little nook of the web. From local Iowa venues to crossing state lines and flying over country boarders, I have had the blessing of capturing timeless moments of the most amazing humans you could ever meet! Can I be your biggest fan?? I want to capture your favorite memories, the highs, the lows, and everything in between, so that when you look at your images you can remember exactly how you felt in those moments. I want you to see just how captivating and special you truly are.

Laura is an extremely talented and skilled photographer. You can tell that she has a passion for her craft and really enjoys being behind the camera. I am a wedding DJ and have not only gotten to work alongside Laura for a few weddings but I was her DJ for her wedding. So I have firsthand experience of her genuine personality, her infectious smile and her caring spirit. As a photographer she goes above and beyond to ensure the couples day goes smoothly. She does a great job with coordinating the logistics of the timeline while capturing all of those special shots and moments. I wholeheartedly without a doubt recommend Laura for engagement and wedding photo's.

Impeccable planning, high energy and relationship focused attention. That is the core of our work at Lonumn Events. Your wedding day is so important to me, and I take the one chance we have to create the memories you will remember for the rest of your life! From elegant ceremonies to popping dance floors...rely on our experience to help craft your day and execute your vision for your wedding.

We had an amazing experience with our wedding DJ from Lonumn! 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!

Award winning Videographer team that specialize in the very best day of service. Telling your story of the entire day from start to finish with a Cinematic touch. Everything filmed in 4k with the ability to livestream.

If I could give Chris more than 5 stars, I WOULD! He did such an amazing job at our wedding! Not only was he professional and punctual, but he went above and beyond! Helped me stay calm when we hit a couple bumps along the way, brought me water after the ceremony (I hadn’t realized I hadn’t drank any for awhile), made sure I had drinks throughout the night, but also made sure I ate before attending to my guests! He helped me take care of myself in the midst of the chaos! My husband and I read our vows privately before the ceremony and Chris already sent that over and I have cried so many times watching it already because he captured the moment perfectly! I can’t wait to see the rest of the footage! 10000/10 would recommend Chris for your wedding videographer!
