Shannon & Michael :: MARRIED

On this thanksgiving, I am reflecting on this amazing past wedding season, including this absolutely stunning fall wedding. Shannon and Michael had an amazing wedding day, full of love, sun, family, and fun here in Des Moines. I have been very blessed with sweet couples, and this couple is one of the sweetest. They told me they are awkward in photos, but I just don’t see it. They are a beautiful! Happy thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy a little preview of your photos Shannon and Michael!

Nick & Lauren :: MARRIED

Another absolutely beautiful fall wedding. I think a lot of my couples got lucky with it raining on their wedding days (they say that’s good luck), and none of them let it bother them at all. Including this couple. They let me drag them outside despite the drizzling rain to get some absolutely beautiful photos. This wedding was in Ankeny at a new venue called The District Venue. Loved it!! It was an honor to photograph your wedding day Nick & Lauren! They had one of the most fun parties I went to this year, which makes for a fun reception, and some even more fun photos! Enjoy!

Erikka & Drew :: MARRIED

Erikka and Drew had one of the most beautiful fall wedding days at the Schafer Century Barn. I could not have asked for better weather or better light!! I mean look at these photos!! And can we just notice how much love you can see between Erikka and Drew?? They are meant of each other! It was such an honor to photograph their wedding day. <3
