Iowa & Destination Wedding Photographer | Best of 2012 Engagements

It’s that time of year again that I have to pick through everything I’ve done over the past year and TRY to pick favorites.  This year I shot 38 engagement sessions.  Most of which none of you have seen (unless you follow me on facebook, then you will have seen some as sneak peeks).  I usually tend to wait till the end of year to blog some of my favorites from each session.   It’s never easy choosing and just because I didn’t pick a photo to blog doesn’t mean I don’t equally love it.  It just means that it looks similar to another I have chosen.  Even then I had trouble narrowing them down, so needless to say this will be a huge post.  Some of these couples you have already seen from their wedding post, but many will be couples for the 2013 season and I CAN’T WAIT!  2013 is going to be amazing.

I also just want to take a moment to reiterate something I explain to everyone.  Engagement sessions are FUN.  They are relaxed and most of all they are meant as a buffer in our blooming relationship.  It allows me to get to know the two of you and vice versa.  Come your wedding day, I want you to feel comfortable with me.  That is why I offer engagement sessions as a complimentary part of my wedding packages.  This is super important to me and will never change.  So, without further ado, SOME of my favorites from 2012.  A little bit from every session, in no particular order.

About Amanda

My name is Amanda and I am a professional wedding and portrait photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel the world photographing weddings and elopements! I have been shooting weddings 15 years now and I never tire of it. Each day is unique and beautiful in it's own way.

I absolutely LOVE being a wedding photographer. The fantastic moments you never expect, the tiniest details and all the love and craziness that goes on at the same time. It's all amazing and I feel like I have the best career in the world, getting to capture and help you remember all of it. Days flit by in an instant and it's my job to make sure you don't a single moment, or those feelings you felt.

In my free time I love spending time with my 2 beautiful kiddos and husband. I love to be outdoors camping, hiking or fishing, just being in nature. I'm obsessed with plants and gardening. I love finding the beauty in the outdoors and things around me. It's part of why I love photography so much, I get to find the beauty in others. Traveling and dragging my family along with me for photos is my absolute favorite! I also am pretty much a giant Harry Potter nerd. I'm obsessed with all things turquoise. I'd eat sushi every day if I could. I drink coffee ALL day EVERY day (ok and some wine) and fashion is a passion! I am a creative at heart so music and all types of art keep me entertained. I also make it a priority to be near the ocean at least once a year (if not more) and love to feel the sun on my skin whenever possible!

The best things in life are the people we love, the places we've been and the memories we've made along the way
