Blake and I were so grateful we chose Peridot & Lace for our wedding photo and video team. Their staff is so on top of communication! They asked us all the photo/timeline questions we didn’t even know to ask, to best prepare months in advance for our wedding day. And were also quick to respond to any last minute requests/questions as the wedding day came closer. We worked with Kirsten for our engagement photos and on our wedding day- could not say enough kind words. She was detail oriented and had the best energy to keep us feeling relaxed and comfortable behind the camera. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day with full confidence that the P&L team would get all the shots we wanted. We have hundreds of beautiful photos and great video coverage that perfectly captured us and the emotions of our wedding day. So glad we decided to include video in our package. Editing was super timely with getting sneak peaks the day after, as well as getting full photos and videos digitally not long after that. Would recommend P&L to any couples.

I’m a wedding photographer in Des Moines, Iowa. I want to help document your happily ever after. When I’m not shooting weddings, I enjoy spending time with friends, writing, and reading good books. Weddings hold a special place in my heart, and I would love to help document your special moments.

Haley Electra Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Haley and her team were clear, encouraging, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They were so hard-working, willing to go the extra mile, and their final work was simply amazing. Haley was incredibly flexible, making sure we got every shot we wanted, and having a second photographer there made the getting ready portion of the day super easy and smooth. Haley and her team are not only incredibly talented, but also super sweet and a joy to be around. We could not recommend Haley Electra Photography more highly for any couple looking for wedding photography that will capture all the special moments of their big day.

My husband and I, being from Des Moines, were impressed that Anna found spots in our city that we had never even heard of before. The end result was a stunning set of photos that perfectly documented our wedding. We are so grateful to Anna for her incredible work in making our day so memorable. Thank you so much!

I love what I do! Photography has been a part of my life since I was a child and it's my work, my hobby, my passion, my life! I serve Iowa and the Midwest, and anywhere else life takes me! I have photographed weddings in Colorado, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Utah.

Awarded Best of Zola
We originally booked Rachel to take our engagement photos as we were to be married in Hawaii. The pandemic had other plans, so we shifted the wedding back to Iowa. Rachel bent over backwards for us and was able to be at the wedding and she took the most beautiful photographs. She is kind, funny, and makes you feel instantly relaxed- which results in some killer candid photos!. I can’t say enough good things about her!!

Hi there, I'm Kirby! For those of you wondering, yes-Kirby is my real name. I'm SO excited that you have come to my page! I am a photographer serving the Des Moines, Eastern Iowa Area and beyond. In my free time you can catch me trying to keep up with my little man Eli and my husband Isaac. I love jamming out to all different kinds of music (ranging from good ol' Disney singalongs to some 90's classics), working out at home, and playing/watching sports (Go Panthers!). I often daydream about Oreos and milk, donuts and ice cream (or anything S'mores).

Awarded Best of Zola
Right off the bat — Kirby is so kind, so easy going, and made our photography journey for our engagement + wedding so incredibly stress-free while delivering the MOST BEAUTIFUL photos we could have ever imagined. When I booked with Kirby last October, I was so excited, but had NO IDEA how incredible our experience would be. Kirby is a next-level photographer and she GENUINELY CARES about her clients. I will be a client for life. From booking, Kirby reached out to us at least monthly to check in on planning and her communication made the whole process less stressful. She never left me wondering and was always giving me advice! She made the photography piece of our big day the most stress-free part. She delivered her photos for engagement and wedding ahead of her estimated deadline in the contract, and even gave us sneak peek photos a day or 2 after each session. And every photo is absolutely STUNNING. If you’re looking for a next-level photographer who cares about YOU, Kirby is really the best around. Not to mention she dealt with our giant wedding party with so much grace, all while nearly 8 months pregnant! She is so dedicated to her work, and every time I look at my photos, it still feels like a dream. I really don’t have the words to describe how amazing my experience with a Kirby was, Nevin + I are so grateful!

Susan Manning Photography

  • Serves Martensdale, IA

Photography has always been my happy place - I started shooting professionally after graduating college in 2017. Posing is necessary for some shots, however, I want to capture you being you. Let's have some fun together! I believe the best shots are the ones where you are feeling comfortable and being yourself. My personal assistant is my puppy, Theo. He loves to spend the day cuddled up under my desk while I'm editing. When I'm not shooting or editing sessions you can find me drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee, running with my pup or spending time with my loved ones.

We absolutely loved working with Susan for our engagement and wedding photos! She made both of us feel so comfortable from the start (no easy feat for my now-husband in front of the camera!) We got married during an ice/sleet storm, and she really helped keep me calm when I realized that my vision of wedding photos outside were going to be a no-go. I can't tell you how many compliments I still get about all of our photos, over a year after our wedding. Highly recommend booking her for your big day -- but do it fast! I have a feeling her calendar will only start to book up more and more as people discover her and her incredible talent :)

Hi! We are Kurt and Madeline Drummond. We are a husband and wife team who are hopeless romantics and love capturing other's love stories. We met on Tinder, yes you read that correctly. When we aren't photographing or filming weddings we are snuggled up with our son Brooks and our dog Oliver watching a movie or bellied up to the bar at Texas Roadhouse. 😊

Working with The Proper Collective was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, they were the easiest people to collaborate with.. whatever we wanted, they made happen. Their photos turned out incredible, and we are beyond grateful for how they captured every moment of our day. What really set them apart was their willingness to go above and beyond throughout the entire process. They made us feel like our vision mattered, and that care showed in every detail from planning through the final reception shot. We honestly cannot recommend them enough.

Hey y’all! I’m a portrait + lifestyle photographer based in the Midwest. I’ve had some sort of camera in hand for as long as I can remember, but it got serious about 5 years ago when I purchased my first DSLR! All I’ve ever wanted to do in my life is create - but I never thought I would be where I am today. I truly am doing what I love and loving what I’m doing. xoxo, Jillian

We worked with Jillian at a wedding in Iowa City a few years ago now. She was the photographer and we were the videographer team and she was so kind and pleasant. An added bonus is that her work is stunning! Highly recommend hiring for weddings and gets an A for working with other vendors.

I'm just a chick with a camera in one hand and a white monster in the other. I'm typically the type of photographer who is known for being a hype girl, one of the first to dance floor, and will be your BFF by the time the wedding roles around!

From our first conversation, Everlasting Photo proved they were different from other photographers we looked at. MK kept things simple and straightforward, which made planning feel easy. On our wedding day, MK kept everything running on schedule while still capturing the candid moments that felt real and genuine. MK's photos are stunning and show a high level of creativity. What impressed us most was how efficient they were—they got the shots we needed without making us feel rushed or posed. We'd recommend Everlasting Photo to any couple looking for photographers who deliver top-notch work.

  • Serves Martensdale, IA

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

We cannot recommend Jason enough! I found his work prior to getting engaged and solely based by wedding date around his availability. He has an uncanny ability to capture the raw emotion of a wedding day without making it look "staged" or unnatural. I fell in love with the way he is able to capture the small moments -a tear on your grandfathers face, your nephew falling asleep on your moms chest, children playing during the reception, etc. He catches moments that you don't even realize are happening. His artwork is a story of the best day of my life, and he told it amazingly well. From start to finish, he is a kind, thorough, and receptive vendor. I cannot stress this enough, his communication and attention to detail is unlike any other wedding vendor that we had. We received compliments about Jason all day (and still do!). Everyone was so impressed by his professionalism and upbeat personality. He fit right in with our wedding crew - like we had known him for years! Our wedding photos are a DREAM and I will cherish them forever! If you want wedding photos that will make your jaw drop and cause people to gush about, book Jason! You won't regret it!

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond grateful to have had Haverlee as our wedding photographer. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful, and her warm, encouraging demeanor managed to make two somewhat awkward people actually feel comfortable in front of the camera! On the big day, Haverlee was so much more than just our photographer. She was a calming presence, a problem-solver (she even helped put pins in my hair!), and a true support system. Her expertise, organized timeline, and guidance made the day run smoothly! And then there's her work - absolutely stunning. She has such a gift for capturing real emotion—both the big moments and the quiet in-between ones. When we look at our photos, we’re transported right back to that day, and we can feel the pure joy all over again. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shines through in her work. We’ll treasure our photos forever and feel so lucky to have had her as part of our day. We highly recommend Haverlee to capture your special moments, too!

We’re Debra & Jeremy, a husband-and-wife wedding photography duo capturing love stories with heart, intention, and a whole lot of soul. Our approach blends documentary moments with gentle guidance, so your photos feel natural, emotional, and unmistakably you. From quiet, intimate glances to joyful, unscripted laughter, we focus on the moments you’ll feel just as much years from now. If you value connection, authenticity, and images that tell a story—not just pose for one—we might be the perfect fit.

Awarded Best of Zola
Debra and her partner do incredible work, they were on time and even worked well with any wedding day hiccups. When I received my wedding photos back I was in awe, but Debra herself is so kind and you can tell she actually cares about her clients. I had a completely different vendor drop out last minute and she even tried to help me find a replacement even tho that wasn’t her job. I’d hire her again just based off her care to her clients. You can tell she has a true passion and her work speaks for itself. I could go on but I only get 50 characters. Book her.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac was absolutely fantastic to work with, and we couldn't be happier we chose Love Knot Photography for our wedding. From the start, what stood out was how much he cared about capturing the actual feeling of the day rather than just working through a checklist of poses. He and his co-photographer had a great eye for the in-between moments — the little glances, the laughter, the chaos of getting ready — alongside all the formal shots we expected. Looking through our gallery afterward, so many of our favorite photos are ones we didn't even know were being taken. He was also just easy and calm to have around on a hectic day, which mattered more than we realized it would. Weddings move fast, and having a photographer who was unobtrusive but always exactly where he needed to be took one more thing off our minds. One of the things we appreciated most: he and his co-photographer stayed well past the time included in our package, all the way until we started dancing. That extra stretch of time meant they captured some of the best — and funniest — photos of the whole night, catching our friends and family completely in their element on the dance floor. It wasn't something we asked for; they just wanted to make sure they got the shots. Isaac also went well beyond the package once it came to editing. Our contract included 300 retouched photos, but we ended up with around 550 edited images and 717 total files between web and print resolution, including alternate crops and versions of several favorites. It's clear he genuinely cared about giving us as much of the day as possible, not just fulfilling a contract. We're so glad we chose Love Knot Photography, and we'll be treasuring these photos for years to come. If you're looking for a photographer who will genuinely capture your day rather than just document it, Isaac is who you want.
