About Silk & Thorn

David & Rob

Wedding & Elopement Photographers

Hi! We are David and Rob, a husband and husband team specializing in wedding and elopement photography. Soon after we met we became inseparable. Falling in love sparked a passion in us for documenting other people’s love stories and commitment towards each other. As photographers, it is our goal to document the love stories of people from diverse backgrounds, and to help create experiences that are truly representative of a couple’s values. We are based out of Sioux City Iowa, and available worldwide.

We believe some of the most meaningful images are usually those of unplanned moments. When telling the story of your wedding day, we aim to create timeless and honest images through the use of natural light and a cinematic approach to storytelling. It is our goal to capture the real moments and connections with loved ones in the most natural way possible. We understand that no two couples are alike. Our goal is to capture your personality both as a couple and as individuals. Your images should be a reflection of the genuine moments and emotions that bond you together. Whatever fire you burn, let’s throw more wood into it!

    David demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout our collaboration, providing invaluable assistance in the preparations leading up to our wedding day. He proved to be an invaluable resource for brainstorming ideas. On the day of the event, David exhibited punctuality and a high level of professionalism. His attentiveness ensured that we obtained all desired photographs and more. The final gallery exceeded our expectations, showcasing his astonishing work. Remarkably, we received sneak peek pictures within less than 48 hours. Without a doubt, we couldn't have selected a more skilled photographer, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to all. Our gratitude is immeasurable.

    100% 5/5 stars. They were absolutely fabulous photographers for our wedding (June 2023). We had both of them for eight hours. I would (and have) recommended them to others. Neither of us are picture people and they made us so, so comfortable and the pictures we got back were truly a work of art. I'm still astonished with how beautiful everything turned out even almost three months later 3

    Silk and Thorn did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos! We first saw them in action at a family member’s wedding where they were helping set up the arch as it fell over. Completely out of their responsibility, but they didn’t hesitate to jump in. Right away, this shows David and Rob’s character. They don’t just want you to have great photos..they want you to have a great experience. We could not have been happier with our beautiful sunrise engagement photo shoot. It was truly one of our best experiences as a couple. It was so fun and romantic without being awkward or stiff. The feeling was like falling in love all over again, and our photos were OUTSTANDING. Just beautiful. They were the perfect team to do our wedding. I highly recommend doing the package with both of them! We were able to see various angles from each moment, and they are all beautiful. To us, photography was the thing we wanted to splurge on because photos last a lifetime. We wanted high quality photos and high quality people being apart of our day. With Silk and Thorn, we got both of those things. We were also surprised with how affordable they were compared to other quotes we received in our area. All of our photos are romantic and beautiful while still staying true to us as a couple. We just cannot say enough great things about Silk and Thorn!

    From the first consultation phone call I had with David I gained great confidence in him. He took the time to answer all my questions, and jot down my ideas. He wanted to learn about each of us in greater detail so he could capture our personalities in the photos. David didn’t pose us and make us feel like statues. He effortlessly caught candid interactions and each photo makes you relive the moment all over again. The high resolution in each photo is of the utmost quality and the quantity shared exceeded my expectations, too! David has been an absolute gem to work with and I’d recommend his services to anyone.
