Leonard Wedding 05.26.2018 | Carper Vineyard and Winery Wedding Norwalk, Iowa | Des Moines, Iowa Wedding Photographers

Michelle and Justin were married on Saturday at the new Carper Vineyard & Winery in Norwalk, Iowa.

What a great new venue in the Des Moines area for outdoor weddings!

It just happened to be the hottest day of 2018 so far, phew! Their outdoor ceremony was at 97 degrees, yikes!

Let’s hope that qualifies for our hottest outdoor wedding of the year! 😉

They had a gorgeous day despite the heat.

The new Carper Vineyard and Winery makes for the perfect backdrop for a wedding day with the vines in the background, a lovely pond and their attention to details in all the finishes indoors.

Post ceremony we headed out for sunset photos around the property and ended up with the most perfect light to end the day!

Congratulations you two and thanks so much for having us, we had a great time capturing your big day!

Ochoa Wedding 05.19.2018 | Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University Ames, Iowa Wedding | Des Moines, Iowa Wedding Photographers

Kami and Emory were married at The Gateway Hotel & Conference Center at Iowa State University this past Saturday in Ames.

Kami was one of our very first ever clients for her senior photos years and years ago and so fun to be able to capture  multiple milestones in peoples lives!

Their first look involved their fur child Ruby, which I have to say as a dog lover ourselves was so fun to see their white boxer again!

We headed out pre-ceremony for photos on the Iowa State Campus where Emory proposed at the Memorial Union (side note if you are getting married at the Memorial Union please reach out, holy gorg) to Kami and sadly about 5 min into photos it started raining, but you’d never know!

They braved it out for the rest of the bridal party photos! (:

Post ceremony we headed back to campus to finish portraits where he proposed to Kami at the fountain at Iowa Sate University. What a gorgeous spot on campus!

Post ceremony we headed to a local bar and then back to The Gateway Hotel & Conference Center for the reception.

Thanks so much for having us, what a fun day to capture!!!

Mandy + Harrison 04.28.2018 | Decades Event Center Wedding | Des Moines, Iowa Wedding Photographers ZTS Photo

Mandy and Harrison were married at the new Decades Event Center in Des Moines. What a fun new vintage wedding venue just a few minuets West of Downtown with a beyond amazing staff!

Mandy and the gals started their morning at One Eighty Salon for hair and makeup in Indianola. Post hair and makeup we headed to Decades for getting ready.

The first look and bridal party portraits took place a few miles to the East at one of our favorite parks for portraits! The trees literally bloomed within 24 hours of their big day which made for some fun Spring wedding portraits.

We took photos all around the pine trees and lake then headed back to Decades for a short and sweet ceremony.

Post ceremony we took the Decades Bentley out to another one of our favorite nature preserves not far from the venue for photos. What a perfect Spring day it was for a wedding!

The willow tree had also just gained its leaves earlier that week so we had to toss a few of those photos in before heading back to the dance party!

What a wonderful day it was, thanks for having us and congratulations! We loved working at the new Decades Event Center and we can’t say enough great things about the staff there and their attention to details and making the couples wedding day the best it can be!
