MOLLY + RON • MACEDONIA IOWA ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
Molly + Ron had the most whimsical & unique summer engagement photos in Macedonia Iowa, a small southwestern town with a large collection of taxidermy birds. Wait… what? That was my reaction too. When Molly told me that her mom was the mayor and we could take photos there, I said “ABSOLUTELY LET’S DO IT!” Macedonia was a nice escape from 2022 and into the past of a town filled with so much flair and history, especially a lot of family history with Molly’s family. Right across from the museum was an antique shop filled with old medical tools, creepy dolls, an old coffin, and a lot of other creepy-cool things I could go on and on about. We then drove a few blocks away to a family farm, where her family still lives today. Cows, beautiful Iowa scenery, yellow roses, grandma’s dress – truly a DREAM. And the best part was spending that much time with two people who are so obviously an amazing match for each other. Lots of laughing and being silly. I cannot wait for their Halloween wedding this year!! I know I’ll be making my way back down to Macedonia and you should too!

ELLE + NATE • GREATER DES MOINES BOTANICAL GARDEN • IOWA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Elle + Nate. A gorgeous summer wedding in Hawaii – I mean – at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden. Might as well have been there with the beautiful plant scenery and the added touch of colorful lei necklaces for everyone. Intimate, colorful, and romantic. Surrounded by just the closest of their people followed by dinner and drinks. I love weddings with a small guest list and more time to focus on the private love between two people. Getting to third wheel with a couple while making pretty photos is my absolute favorite.

ASHLEY + JUSTIN • ROMANTIC SPRING WEDDING IN DES MOINES IOWA
Ashley + Justin are two of the sweetest people I have met and I was SO EXCITED to be there with them on their wedding day. One of the first things I learned about them was how into animals and pets they were! INSTANT BOND. They are also opening their own pet shop her in town (Crowned Aquatics Pet Supply) – so getting to work with creative, fun, animal lovers is a literal dream come true!
A spring wedding here in Iowa is a DREAM, especially when your wedding venue is super close to the blooming blossom trees over by Water Works. The Izaak Walton League was the perfect place for an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception beautifully lit and decorated with lights and lots of bohemian decor.
Special thanks to all of these AMAZING vendors!
