Elizabeth Ann Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves De Soto, IA

Hey friends! My name is Elizabeth and I’m a midwest photographer for the free-spirited. I call Iowa my home, but I’m always up for an adventure. My passion is capturing raw & organic moments to remember for a lifetime. I love being able to show your story by taking candid photos while being authentically you. Everything from the excited tears before the “I do”, to the laughter during toasts, my images bring back these memories for a lifetime. I’m a lover of life and people, and these two combinations make the most amazing pictures.

Liz did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Both turned out phenomenal. Great turn around time, she double checked to make sure we got all the poses we wanted. Very responsive when I reached out! Will work with her again in the future :)

Blackcap Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves De Soto, IA

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

Having watched him work with hundreds of brides and seeing the results you know he is a true artist. All of his positive attributes made it a simple decision to utilize his talents for our family photos. We unequivocally support Cody and are confident he will capture your special moments.

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.

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
We have worked with Kirby in the past as we were both vendors and she was a blast to work with. She’s kind, caring, and the couples parents even thought we were a team because she works so well with other vendors! Kirby was detail oriented and made sure the couple was having fun, and enjoying their wedding day.

Susan Manning Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves De Soto, 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.

From a videographers perspective, Susan was absolutely great to work with! She made sure to communicate with me throughout the day so we could both provide the best coverage possible for the couple. She was great at working with and posing the couple which always makes my job easier, and resulted in a beautiful photo gallery and film. I would highly recommend Susan to anybody looking for a photographer and hope to get the chance to work with her again in the future! :)

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley Cynthia Photography provided excellent service for our wedding photography needs. Ashley's communication throughout the planning process was fast, caring and thoughtful - she truly wanted to understand our vision and preferences. On the big day, Ashley traveled from Arizona to capture our Colorado wedding. She helped immensely with organizing the timeline and coordinating with other vendors. Most importantly, the quality of Ashley's work is simply stunning. Her photographic style resulted in elegant, unique and professional photos that we will treasure forever. She perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't recommend Ashley highly enough for wedding photography services. She had us laughing and feeling more like a lifelong friend more than a photographer

Hi, I’m Lena – Your Wedding Photography Bestie! I’m so glad you’re here! Capturing love stories has been my passion for 8 years, and I travel across Missouri to document weddings and engagements filled with joy and romance. Your wedding day is more than just an event – it’s the start of your forever, and I’m here to make sure every moment, big or small, is beautifully captured. As someone happily married myself, I know how special this time is. My goal is to make you feel confident and comfortable, creating photos that are authentically you – timeless, romantic, and full of heart. Let’s connect and make magic together! 💕

Lena Turner Photos LLC was the perfect wedding photographer for us. Their communication style was easy, comfortable, flexible, and they were true problem solvers. The quality of their work was simply wonderful. The memories we have are just beautiful, dreamy, and truly unforgettable. There were fires where close to my family’s land we wanted to get married, so my husband and I decided it would be safest to have the ceremony at the reception area which was a hour away. But it was so important to me to get ready at my family cabin, and Lena made the timeline work for every scenario! I could not have imagined my wedding day without her - she captured everything so perfectly. Lena answered any and every question I had and never once made me feel like I was silly or being a bridezilla. She was so easy to work with, and I couldn't recommend her enough!

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves De Soto, IA

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is no one in the world who does it like Haverlee. Haverlee was my family photographer growing up, she did my Mom’s maternity photos, she did my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. There is something really special about receiving photos that bring you back to moments you don’t want to forget, and that’s exactly what she captures- every single time. I’m thankful for the ways she doesn’t create staged photos, but captures genuine moments. I couldn’t recommend a photographer more than her, and am absolutely convinced I won’t ever go with another photographer!

Prest1ge Photography

  • Serves De Soto, IA

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

5 STAR REVIEW! We had such an amazing experience with Prest1ge Photography! It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was the best! My husband and I would not have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. He did our engagement and wedding photos and our photos came out incredible! Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
