Des Moines, Iowa Award Winning Wedding Photographers ZTS Photo by Tanner & Sarah Urich | Wedding Wire Couples Choice Award Winner 2018

Stoked to have wrapped up our 2017 wedding season (our 9th one at that!) with an ANOTHER award for 2018 with a Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice Award!!! Based SOELY on client reviews.

Tanner and I say it often, we never really intended as two young college kids at BVU to have ZTS Photo grow into the amazing thing it has since 2009! We’ve had the best time capturing so many weddings over the years together, and made so many new friendships with our clients that we truly cherish.

Thank you to ALL our amazing 2017 brides and grooms from wedding season NINE for leaving us GREAT reviews. (You can check them out here!)

Blessed to do something we love together as a couple. It’s been such a fun journey and so fun to see how far we’ve come.

Thank you again Wedding Wire and our brides/grooms we are SO excited for all the wonderful 2018 and 2019 couples lined up for year TEN and ELEVEN of photographing weddings here in Des Moines, Iowa. If you know anyone getting married, feel free to send them our way! We would love to chat!

Curate Des Moines Open House | East Village Des Moines Wedding Venue | Des Moines Wedding Venue

I had the pleasure of photographing the new Curate event venue open house this past Friday in East Village. The new venue created by the wonderful ladies behind Taste to Go catering here in Des Moines.

What a BUSY night it was! Such a great new space in East Village here in Des Moines. Just what Des Moines needs is a NATURAL LIGHT blank canvas event venue that fits an ample amount of guests for a wedding or event.

Curate Des Moines

It’s over 6,000 square feet of room to work with, modern, classic and just the perfect light for photos. Brides and grooms to be please go check it out, I know if it were available when Tanner and I had gotten engaged in 2013 it would have fit us so well for our wedding! (: And we did use Taste to Go for our wedding catering and our guests still talk about our amazing food stations including a taco station (pictured below), a state fair food station and a bacon wrapped food station at our wedding. Plus a donut bar, such a hit to make your wedding day food what you two enjoy and unique to you!

Thanks for having me and I had such a great time connecting with fellow wedding vendors and photographing your new space. Just what Des Moines needed! I wish you guys all the best with your new amazing venue venture!

Kramer Wedding September 16th, 2017 | Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding | Des Moines, Iowa Wedding Photographer

Oh my goodness can we just talk about what a perfect wedding venue the Salisbury House and Gardens is here in Des Moines?! Tanner and I finally photographed our first wedding there in 9 wedding seasons a few weekends ago. What a PERFECT garden wedding venue. And so much greenery, I can’t say enough great things about it. A photographers dream!

Annie and Lance are just perfect together. They truly care so much about each other and compliment each other so incredibly well!

The day started with an epic bridal gift to Annie. Lance had made her a custom made box full of all her favorite things. Art supplies and so many thoughtful little gifts, how sweet is that!

Sadly we battled the rain all day BUT we managed to pop outside between the thunderstorms multiple times for photos and made it work.

I must say the foggy/rainy day made for some truly dramatic lighting!

It did sadly start misting during the ceremony but it was just so perfect I don’t think anyone even noticed!

Post ceremony they gave us endless time to explore around the Salisbury House and Gardens area for photos. What a perfect venue!

Due to the rain the dinner got moved inside, but thankfully they have such a fun room for the dinner. It was a joy to have a new venue to photograph in with such character!

Post dinner we were able to head outside for the dance. The rain had finally passed and what a sunset. That perfect September light for a cobblestone first dance made the best backdrop!

Thanks so much for having Tanner and I photograph your big day. You two are just the sweetest couple! And we hope you get your corgi puppy soon Annie, life is so much better with a fur child! (:
