Iowa & Destination Wedding Photographer | Susie + Tom Engaged!

I want to just say, yes I KNOW I already blogged something today but this is just me trying to get everything done before I leave to shoot a wedding in St. Pete, Fl. this week.  No, not completely done with everything, but enough to let me relax and not worry about being gone for a week!  Also a reminder, I may not be able to answer all e-mails while I am gone, so please be patient till I get back!

Sometimes people think I am crazy when I ask them to meet me in the evening for sessions rather than during the day.  But they quickly find out why.  The light is nothing short of amazing.  There’s really nothing like it and if you want that dreamy glowy look, then evening sessions are what you want.  This session had a bunch of it.  So what do you get when you add amazing lighting and a beautiful, fun-loving couple?  See below.

P.S. This post is also a good example of why I give out black and white versions of all of my portraits.  I simply usually cannot decide whether I love the color or black and white better.  There are wonderful qualities to each, so I leave it up to you to decide!

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
