Iowa & Destination Wedding Photographer | Jean & Jimmy (& Hailey)

Date: Aug 3, 2013

Venue:  Jean’s uncle’s estate

I just wanted to take a moment and say how beautiful this ceremony was.  It was not just a union of 2 people.  It was a union of 3, a family.  Jimmy chose to not only marry Jean, but accept her daughter Hailey as his own and it was beautiful.  It made me cry just watching all of them!  I also wanted to say a BIG thank you to Cayla for helping me out with this wedding!!

Secondly, I wanted to take a moment and mention that 2014 is filling up super fast!  Unfortunately, I have had 2 break ups.  One in the month of April and one in June, so that means that for someone else, those dates are now open!  Feel free to contact me about the open dates to secure the spots!

One last thing, since it’s my birthday TODAY (yeah, that’s how much I love my job, I’m working on my birthday), I thought I’d toot my own horn for a second (I’m allowed sometimes, right?!) and just put it out there that once again I have received the Bride’s Choice Award from weddingwire.com.  Big thank you to all of my past clients who write such nice reviews for me!!  I love you all!! <3

And now, the real reason you looked at this post!

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
