Iowa Wedding Photographer | Best of 2010 Weddings

This post was definitely the hardest to come up with.  Every one of my clients is amazing and I love every photo for different reasons.  Do I put more photo-journalistic moments?  Do I put in more portraits? Do I add in more details?  Well, yes, yes to them all.  I tried to pick a good mix of everything for these favorite images because that’s the kind of photographer I am.  I like a little bit of everything.  I love wonderful emotional moments that make a wedding so beautiful, I love beautiful portraits you would hang on your walls for a lifetime and I also love to capture the tiniest details that I know, being a bride myself 5.5 years ago, took so much time and effort.  Simply put, I love it all.  There is not one part of a wedding I don’t love and wouldn’t do again and again every day.  This is probably the biggest best of post and the last one for the year.  I am so excited to see what 2011 brings.  It’s going to be busier than ever before and I can’t wait to share it with everyone!  Thank you to everyone who made 2010 possible, I wouldn’t be where I am without you and I love and appreciate all of you.  My clients and family are amazing and I am extremely lucky to be doing what I love.

Thank you all!  Bring on 2011, I’m ready for it!

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
