Iowa & Destination Wedding Elopement Photographer | Best of 2020 Weddings

After spending a week straight in my office, I have finally “narrowed down” my favorite wedding images for 2020.   A separate post will be coming for engagements, etc.!  By narrowing it down, I mean that there are still over 2000 photos here, many of them in diptych form!  What a year I’ve had.  I was blessed enough to still be able to shoot 35 weddings during Covid, even with being shut down for 3 months.  It’s been anything from elopements of just them and I; or 400 guests throwing caution to the wind in order to celebrate love.  I LOVE celebrating love in all forms and everyone proved this year that love WINS.  I am also blessed in that I have fully booked up for 2021 (save for some randoms I could maybe squeeze in).  I am SO excited to see what is to come in 2021!  I know a TON of travel is on the books and lots of new adventures, so stay tuned!

Thank you all for scheduling and re-scheduling your dates around my availability.  Thank you for keeping me busy during what has been trying times for many and also keeping my health a priority!  It truly means more to me than you’ll ever know and I am honored that I got to and will get to share your beautiful days with you! I love all of you!  Cheers to 2021 and a new year!  (stay tuned for the other best of posts, coming soon!)

 After many close votes, the winning cover image is!!

I am also proud to announce that this image won Junebug Weddings Best of the Best 2020 honorable mention this year!  (that’s 5 times now I have won or gotten runner up!). With 1000’s entering 30+ images years and mine being chosen now 5 times to be in the t0p 50 photos selected worldwide, that is a HUGE honor!

The rest are in no order as I have TOO may favorites!  You will have to grab a drink and scroll through the rest from my awesome wedding/elopement year!

    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
