Iowa & Destination Wedding Photographer | Paige + Kody

Paige and Kody couldn’t have had a more perfect day for their wedding.   It was probably lower 80’s, a slight breeze and NO humidity.  I know because my hair didn’t end up curly like it usually does.  That’s pretty rare for me!   Kody is a marine and has served 2 tours Afganistan and Iraq.  I really respect military members and when I can join in and be a part of one of their weddings, it means a lot to me.  (check out their table set for 1, tear jerker!)   We started the day at the church and then went downtown, then back to the church for the ceremony.  After the ceremony we stopped at a beautiful field of wild flowers and hay.  The reception was at the Tournament Club of Iowa.  This is probably the prettiest golf course I’ve seen.  It almost looks like we’re not in Iowa anymore!  Paige and Kody, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day!  It was beautiful!

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
