Iowa Wedding Photographer | Best of 2021 Weddings

First, I want to start off by thanking all of my lovely clients.  THANK YOU for putting your trust in me for your biggest days of your lives.  I love you all and feel that you all are so much more to me than just clients.  Thank you for all of your beautiful words in your reviews of me, thank you for the sweet gifts and thank you notes and thank you for letting not just be at your wedding, but be an integral part of your day.  I love you all and SO love my job!

Ok, this post took me a ridiculous amount of time to put together.  How can I possibly choose favorites from the year and discard the rest?!  They’re all like my babies and every photo I take is meaningful to me.  2021 was nuts, in a good way.  37 weddings, 65 engagements/couples shoots and 77 other shoots (maternity, family, senior, boudoir & Mentor).   I shoot solo and have always shot that way in my 13 year career.  I also do my own editing.  When you hire me, you’re getting me.  Not some associate.  You also get me editing and working directly with you!

I feel like I was busier than ever (good problem to have), which is insane. Because I love my job too much and have a hard time saying no, I’m already at 46 weddings for next year which slightly terrifies me and excites me for whats to come at the same time!  I’m also fully booked for Saturday’s already for June 2023, so if you’re just engaged, please know dates book fast!

This past year I travelled a lot!  I had 2 separate California weddings, a Texas wedding at an amazing mansion, A Gulf shores Alabama wedding, a Florida wedding, a separate Florida session, A Devils Lake, Wisconsin engagement plus multiple family vacations with photos involved!  Because of Covid, the out of country weddings were post-poned.  I will be in Mexico twice, just next month, plus a gorgeous Sonoma, Arizona wedding coming up this April! Stay tuned for all that awesome-ness (and pray no flights are cancelled!).

With all that said, here is my 2021 favorites collection.  Yes, I know it’s super long and may take a while to load.  I will also say that it’s impossible to truly shuffle them, but I did my best.  They are in no particular order.  Enjoy!  2 Weeks till my first wedding of 2022, let’s go!

    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
