Iowa Wedding Photographer | Tessa & Nick’s album – Bride’s Choice 2011

You may notice that my blog looks totally different.  This is just the beginning of a branding change, so bare with me as things may be changed or added to in the coming weeks.  It’s still me! 🙂  It’s also the reason why I haven’t blogged in a while because I’ve been working on the designs.

I won Bride’s Choice award for 2011!
Des Moines, Iowa – Jan. 26th, 2011 – WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, is thrilled to announce Amanda Basteen Photography has been selected to receive the prestigious annual WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards™ 2011 for  Wedding Photography

In other news, today I got one of my previous couple’s (Tessa & Nick) album in and it’s just beautiful.  I like to use FINAO for my flush mount albums and they are pretty much amazing.  I snapped a few photos before sending it on to her!  Check it out!  I may have to order one of these for myself, just of her wedding. <3

Just wanted to add a photo of an orchid my husband surprised me with yesterday!  He is the best!

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
