Best of Weddings | 2017

2017 was another great year filled with emotion for me.  I shot 31 weddings, including one in Mexico!  Another in St. Louis and my own beautiful daughter was the flower girl!  That puts me at over 240 weddings in my career.  I love it!! All of my clients were spectacular to work with and I consider myself so lucky to have a profession that I get to spend time doing that I love to do.  Capturing emotion, memories and being able to really showcase my artistic side.  So, I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone I had the pleasure of working with in 2017.  I am blessed to always have clients who trust me fully and are willing to do whatever sounds crazy at the moment, because of a vision I have.  I spent a lot of time in 2017 climbing into creeks, rivers, lakes and fields with people and it was always for the perfect shot!  Another nice thing about what I do is that most of my clients end up becoming friends.  We stay friends on facebook and I get to watch their marriages and lives progress.  It’s such a beautiful feeling!  I also on a personal note want to thank all of my friends and family that support me and always show me how much you care.

2018 has some big things in store!  A lot more travel!  In 2 weeks I’ll be heading out to Jamaica for a wedding, which I’m super excited about.   In June, I get to shoot an elopement in the mountaintops in Colorado (eeek!).  Also, potentially one other tropical destination is in the works!  Along with those are many more amazing weddings locally with some really awesome couples and I can’t wait to shoot them.  It’s going to be another great year.  Here’s to more awesome clients and many more great adventures!

Also, sorry not sorry but this post will be huge.  As usual,  I couldn’t pick my favorites because I love them all!! <3

** Stay tuned for the Best of 2017 Engagements post next week! **

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
