About Whitney Aarum Photography

Whitney Aarum Photography

Head Photographer

My photography journey began in 2016 in Western New York where I grew up. Over the years, I started capturing weddings and officially embraced the title of “wedding photographer” in 2018. Though I didn’t initially set out to be a photographer, what started as a hobby at 13 has blossomed into one of my greatest passions. I am currently based in Des Moines but I’m always open to traveling wherever you are. My passion extends to both photography and videography, and I would to be your go-to girl for capturing genuine moments that make you feel loved, and like your authentic self.

Are you looking for someone who will dream with you? Someone who won’t say “that won’t work”, but will help you look at things from a different angle? Someone who is willing to try anything? If so, I’m your girl! I want to help you get the wedding photos of your dreams and I will do anything it takes to do just that. I don't want your wedding photos to feel completely posed & uncomfortable. I want you to feel no pressure from me, while I guide you and create an stress-free experience, as I capture the genuine love you have for the one by your side. All I ask is that you trust me throughout the process!

    From the moment we booked Whitney, we knew we were in good hands. Whitney's communication style is so comforting, professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly exceptional - she has a keen eye for detail and a talent for capturing timeless, intimate moments. On our wedding day, Whitney was SUCH a joy to work with; her presence was calming and unobtrusive, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the celebration. The photos and video she delivered are beyond our wildest dreams - they perfectly encapsulate the love and joy we felt, and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Whitney went above and beyond, delivering more photos than we could have asked for, all of the highest quality. We would choose Whitney a million times over and would never consider anyone else. Her responsiveness, kindness and the speed with which she delivers the final products are just icing on the cake. Whitney is worth every penny and we give her our highest possible recommendation.

  • BEST wedding photographer ever!!!!

    Whitney made our wedding day even more perfect by your kind and calm spirit! She captured every single photo I had hoped and imagined for my wedding day and far more than I expected. Whitney made us feel comfortable and captured the joy we felt on our wedding day! We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our most precious day! We hope to have Whitney capture many more memories in our life.
