Iowa Wedding Photographer | Taylor + Mitch

This week I am running a little late putting up last Saturday’s wedding blog post.  It really was due to me having to choose which photos to blog.  There were simply too many I wanted to blog.  This wedding was located at the Jester Park Lodge, which was nothing short of gorgeous.

They had a beautiful but hot wedding  looking out over the lake.  I imagine we all wanted to jump into it, but I think looking at it was good enough.  It was just beautiful.  Both Taylor and Mitch met and each already had a child of their own.  Two boys who happened to be the same age.  Could it be any more perfect?  For their ceremony, they included the boys in the sand ceremony, which pretty much made it official.  They had a bunch of adorable kids in their wedding and if you watch, you will see a few of them break dancing!  It was a wonderful day.  Thank you Taylor and Mitch for letting me be a part of it!

    Good detail shots of the bride’s wedding preparation right down to the underarm photo! So many smiles. Looks like everyone had a great time. Photos of the bride’s sweet smile at the altar is my favorite.

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
