Des Moines Wedding Photographer | Nick & Tessa are married!

Last Saturday was my birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding to shoot on my birthday!  I turned 25 (don’t worry, I celebrated with my family the night before) and had the pleasure of shooting Nick & Tessa’s wedding.  It was just amazing.  Breathtaking really.  Her wedding has been one I have really been looking forward to because she has kept me in the loop about all of her details.  She really went ALL out on them.  Totally vintage/shabby chic all the way.  Even her mom’s house that she got ready at matched her theme!  It was all just gorgeous.  Of course she and her now hubby are gorgeous too.

If you ever wonder what Iowa looks like, this is it.  All I have to do is drive an hour out of my way and this is the beautiful scenery I find.  I think the rolling hills are beautiful!  They had their reception at Nick’s parents house which happened to be located right in the middle of said hills.  See for yourself.  The weather, scenery, details and couple were beautiful.  Happy birthday to me!! 🙂  Oh, and they also gave me a birthday gift as if their wedding wasn’t gift enough.  Thank you so much Nick & Tessa for letting me be a part of your beautiful day and for being so wonderful! 🙂

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
