Iowa & Destination Wedding Photographer | A few recent engagement sessions

It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged (sorry!) but since I am getting ready to kick back into full swing wedding season in about a month  I thought it would be a good time to post a few of the recent engagement sessions I have shot.  I’ve been pretty busy with newborns and engagements and children to hold over my wedding season fever.  The cold doesn’t stop anyone and it doesn’t stop me from taking beautiful photos!  Though, sometimes I feel like my fingers may just fall off.  All of these 3 sessions were shot at the same location which happens to be one of my favorites.  So, I thought they’d fit well together in a blog post.  Why not, right?

I have some pretty exciting weddings coming up this year including one on the beautiful beaches of Negril, Jamaica!  I absolutely cannot wait and I LOVE LOVE LOVE shooting destination weddings.  I also have a pretty awesome shoot I am working on putting together.  It’s not wedding related, but I still can’t wait to do it and it should be beautiful.  It’s an idea I’ve had for a while, so I can’t wait to put it together and do it!  Keep an eye out for what is to come this year!

One more thing, I wanted to point out that I have added PIN IT buttons to my blog as well as a link to my pinterest board up on the left side of my blog.  Feel free to pin my images.  Brides, I LOVE pinning wedding ideas so feel free to follow my board as well and get some great ideas for your weddings.  I warn you, it’s addicting!

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
