I had the pleasure of working with Marie for my wedding, newborn photos, and holiday photos, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results each and every time! From start to finish, the entire experience is always seamless, professional, and enjoyable. Communication: Right from the initial inquiry, Marie was responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure all my questions were answered promptly. Professionalism: On the day of the wedding or shoot, Marie was punctual, prepared, and had a clear vision for the session. She made me feel at ease immediately and was very patient throughout the process. Whether it was guiding me through poses or letting me just be natural, she struck the perfect balance. Creativity and Skill: The photos speak for themselves! Marie has a fantastic eye for detail and composition. The lighting, framing, and editing were all spot-on, capturing moments in a way that felt both artistic and authentic. Whether it was candid moments or more posed shots, each photo felt personal and unique. Final Product: The final images were delivered on time, and I was blown away by the quality. The editing was flawless, enhancing the photos without overdoing it. It was clear that Marie put a lot of care and effort into the post-processing, and it truly paid off. I can't recommend Marie enough. Whether you're looking for someone to capture a special event, a personal portrait, or any other kind of photography, Wild Elegance is an excellent choice. I’ll definitely be working with Marie again in the future!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

Kiersten is amazing to work with. She makes her clients feel very comfortable during their session and knows how to capture the candid photos that everyone loves. Her attention to detail is unmatched and the time she takes to carefully edit every photo to make them flawless is appreciated. The memories captured will forever hold a place in the hearts of her clients all thanks to her!

I love what I do! Photography has been a part of my life since I was a child and it's my work, my hobby, my passion, my life! I serve Iowa and the Midwest, and anywhere else life takes me! I have photographed weddings in Colorado, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Utah.

We originally booked Rachel to take our engagement photos as we were to be married in Hawaii. The pandemic had other plans, so we shifted the wedding back to Iowa. Rachel bent over backwards for us and was able to be at the wedding and she took the most beautiful photographs. She is kind, funny, and makes you feel instantly relaxed- which results in some killer candid photos!. I can’t say enough good things about her!!

Your wedding means much more to us then taking pictures, we're all in on your marriage. When you say “I do” it’s your first act of commitment to each other. Every part of your day is surrounded by those you love and acts in support of marriage. Marriage is much more than butterflies, it’s intentionality. Intentionally fun, intentionally beautiful, intentionally choosing each other through the good times and the bad times. I want to capture your love that you will continue to choose over and over, and the pictures are the greatest piece that you’ll revisit over and over to bring you back to all the emotions of your day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Keel and Co! We originally chose Trisha to capture our engagement photos because she had a reputation for being great with dogs, and we planned to have ours included. We were not disappointed! She was so great with getting and keeping their attention. A bonus was that she helped me coordinate our outfits for the best look. As the wedding got closer, Trisha was great at keeping us on track with photo lists and planning. She worked so well with our coordinator, and together, and they made sure we had plenty of time to get any and all photos we wanted. Trisha's husband, Josh, is her second shooter, and working with the two of them was so fun! They brought so much energy and calmed the chaos when needed. Our family was impressed with their organization, and our bridal party said it was some of the most fun they've had taking wedding photos. We've gotten half of our photos back so far and are completely over the moon as we wait for the rest. Trisha is truly amazing, as I continue to tell any and all of our friends. We can't recommend Keel and Co enough!

I'm Melissa (she/her) and I'm so glad you're here. I've been photographing couples in love since 2019 and it's truly an honor to capture your love during one of the most important times of your life. One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, having beautiful photos was at the very top of both of our lists. For us, a photographer came before all other vendors, and we both agreed it was simply not an area in which we’d cut corners. When I cam across Melissa’s photos, I immediately knew she was obviously the style and vibe we were going for. Within a matter of seconds, I was blown away by the amount of details her pictures had, and within a matter of minutes, I was sending her a message praying to the heavens above that she was available for our date. I could not recommend Melissa enough. Her photos are absolutely stunning - they speak for themselves. But what you can’t see by scrolling through her galleries or social media pages, is the absolute GEM behind the camera. Melissa is professional, fun, energetic, happy - and she brings that energy with her through every single click of her shutter. She was so good at guiding and directing us throughout all our photos — and you’re hearing this from a couple who is extremely awkward posing for pictures! She made us feel beyond comfortable — confident! She even made a super impression on our families and wedding party. They all made a point to tell me how much they enjoyed her throughout the day! We had so much fun with her and she captured us and our wedding day absolutely perfectly. Melissa goes above and beyond and truly listens to what her couples want out of their pictures. She managed to get every single picture I could have ever hoped for— and then some! We absolutely love both our engagement and wedding photos, and they will be on display in our home forever. I could not thank her enough. I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed in hiring Melissa! She was the easiest, and by far the best, vendor we hired! I’d hire her again any day!

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am the owner of Label Photography. I started wedding photography back in 2019 and have had the privilege of working with many amazing couples on their special day. When I am not doing photography I can be found hanging out with my kids, enjoying the outdoors, or attending sporting events (Go Pack Go). I'm excited to expand my business across the Wisconsin and Eastern Iowa areas and cannot wait to continue photographing memories for future couples!

Lauren was amazing through our whole wedding process from engagement photos to our wedding day! She made our wedding day extremely smooth and the pictures turned out amazing- we couldn’t have been happier with them. We enjoyed using Lauren so much that we had her take our family photos two months after the wedding! We will for sure go through Lauren for our photography needs in the future!

Howdy! I’m Aubriana, a photographer passionate about capturing life and love in their most genuine moments. My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

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!

Hi! We are Katherine and Oleksandr, a family duo of a photographer and videographer, who share a passion for creating unforgettable moments. Together since 2010, we capture and preserve the most genuine emotions from your celebrations and everyday life. Our work is more than just recording images.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kateryna as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and so easy to communicate with. Her warm personality instantly put us at ease, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Kateryna has a true talent for capturing not just moments, but emotions. Every photo she took feels so natural and full of life, telling the story of our special day in the most beautiful way. Her attention to detail and creative eye are exceptional, and she managed to capture all the important moments, as well as many candid shots we will treasure forever.

I’m a central Iowa based wedding and portrait photographer on a mission to capture joyful personalities and the moments where you can’t stop smiling. I love rural Iowa, dessert for breakfast, outdoor adventures, and I’m a total homebody. My approach to photography is simple. I strive to create memories that are true to life. If you’re looking for authenticity with a dash of small town USA, I think we’re going to be great friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a fellow vendor working beside Katie (me on video, her on photo) on someone's big day, she is all you could ask for when working in conjunction with someone on a wedding day. She was friendly and completely respectful of the work I needed to do, even though we had to work at the same time and in the same spaces. She was open to communicating about our needs and overall contributed positivity to the process. Photo and Video do not always team up effortlessly and thankfully Katie made it easy to do so! As someone who got to watch Katie at work, she really made an effort to make sure her shots were going to be beautiful (moving things around, finding the right lighting, etc). She was also so supportive and really hyped the couple up throughout the whole day, not only making them comfortable, but confident. I 100% enjoyed working with Katie and hope to do so again!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

I’m Alyssa. You can call me Lys. (It rhymes with Kiss) ☺ I'm a photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel often. Couples, elopements, and small weddings are my speciality. My style leans documentary, timeless, and sincere, with some avant-garde editorial vibes, artsy influences, and good old fashioned weirdness mixed in. I love color, flash, film, and all things non-traditional. I got my start in music photography, which greatly informs my shooting style, and have been documenting Iowa's music scene and touring with bands for over 10 years!

I'm a micro-wedding venue owner and I recently hosted a gorgeous LGBTQ+ styled shoot. From beginning to end Alyssa was a pleasure to work with. She initiated correspondence - including overall vision, clear expectation, and a comprehensive schedule for all vendors. Her ability to pull a vision together and pay attention to detail are equally strong. She had the ability to manage a project while simultaneously making all vendors and models feel comfortable. She excels at bringing out the most of her models & left the venue in great condition. I will not hesitate to work with Alyssa again - She's an absolute pleasure!

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!
