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!
Wow! You got lots of great portraits of them! Love the groomsmen pics, too!
I love love love the yellow!
This wedding seems so alive! Love the shots of dancing at the reception, as well as those of the B/G kissing in the field. Top notch work, Amanda.
You totally rocked the bridal portraits, she looks amazing in every shot!
Wow that bride is stunning! Love those close, beautiful.
Stunning Amanda. Start to finish!
The bride is so lovely and the portraits are perfect. Love the golf swing groomsmen photo!
First of all, I love how you’ve captured all the details, but my favorite is that you’ve also captured all the emotions and the fun personalities of the couple and their bridal party/guests. And my absolute favorite image is the one when bride and her dad saw each other for the first time. So sweet!
Stunning portraits Amanda! Beautiful as always!
This couple have such a great sense of style. Love the gray and yellow color scheme! You did a beautiful job capturing the details and the emotions… That photo with the groom’s head under the dress made me laugh out loud.
So good Amanda. These are great! Oh those bridal portraits rock!
Wow Amanda, this is a post full of incredible images – love the creative shots of the guys, the ring is amazing and I hope yellow is this years colour, as it looks great!!
