  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Polk City, IA

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

We had the great privilege of having Jason capture our wedding in August 2025 and it was one of the best decisions we could have made! From the initial consultation through the delivery of our final wedding gallery, Jason was so kind, thoughtful, and just overall wonderful to work with. He also brought a calming and fun presence to our wedding day and made the process a breeze for two people who are generally not so comfortable in front of the camera! We are so thankful for his incredible talent and beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. Look no further than Jason Thomas Crocker Photography to exceed every expectation for your wedding!!

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Polk City, IA

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly could not say enough great things about Haverlee and her immense talent! From our first inquiry email to delivering our final wedding gallery (early I should add), she was so kind, supportive and on the ball. Outside of capturing amazing moments during our engagement session and wedding day, one of the things we really appreciated was her willingness to help create our day of timeline. As a DIY bride, having someone who has done this countless times help us plan every minute of our day helped so so much and put our minds at ease. And let me tell you, day of, you won’t find someone else more prepared than Haverlee. She was there to help with make-up issues, fly away hairs, dress bustling, and even hand picking leaves and bugs out of the skirt of my dress to make sure our photos were perfect. Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience, highly recommend entrusting Haverlee to work her magic to allow you to remember the day perfectly thru her lens.

  • Serves Polk City, IA

From my early years to now, I have consistently recognized the power of photographs and videos as timeless captures. My philosophy is to help families, and friends create moments that can be shared through the years and become an important part of your family's story to tell.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rusted Rose Studios is hands-down the best value photography you can find without sacrificing quality. Riley was so easy to work with from start to finish and made the entire experience feel natural and stress-free. I loved how they focused on candid, documentary-style moments while still giving guidance when we needed help posing. Their packages are incredibly budget-friendly compared to others we looked at, and the amount of photo quality we received was amazing for the price. Communication was clear, turnaround time was great (1 month vs my friends 3 month turn around…) and the final images captured the day perfectly. If you want beautiful photos wishing your budge and someone who truly cares about your experience, Rusted Rose Studios is it.

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.

Corah B Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Polk City, IA

I've been photographing weddings since 2019, and went full time in 2020. Helping people feel confident and beautiful is such a fulfilling part of this job, and being the go to on the day of your wedding is such a thrill- there's nowhere else I'd rather be! (Except maybe on a coffee date with my toddler- but thats beyond the point lol)

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an intimate ceremony and a small reception at a garden. Photos were very important for us, and Corah delivered more than we asked for! Corah made it so effortless for us, right from our first meeting where she carefully explained the process to us, our engagement shoot which she made so fun, to our wedding day shoot where she captured all our moments so thoughtfully! Our pictures reflect exactly who we are as a couple. They were romantic, elegant and a little quirky. She has amazing ideas on how to make you look good in the photos while keeping true to who you are! Our family (especially mine back in India) were raving about all our photos too. I didn’t even know she was capturing some of the moments that she did on our wedding , and I couldn’t be any more thankful! Be well-prepared to gain a friend and for those happy tears if you hire Corah!

Colby Campbell Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Polk City, IA

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Colby delivers the best possible product in the field. The lighting, composition and quality of his photos are unmatched. But he doesn't stop there... The communication from the booking date, lead up to shoot, and execution on the day is what makes Colby Campbell Photography an immersive experience that is unmatched.

I’m Laura Nichole! Welcome to my little nook of the web. From local Iowa venues to crossing state lines and flying over country boarders, I have had the blessing of capturing timeless moments of the most amazing humans you could ever meet! Can I be your biggest fan?? I want to capture your favorite memories, the highs, the lows, and everything in between, so that when you look at your images you can remember exactly how you felt in those moments. I want you to see just how captivating and special you truly are.

Laura photographed my friend’s wedding (Alyssa & Michael) in August 2025, and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. She has such a sweet personality and was incredibly thoughtful, intentional, and organized throughout the entire day. One of the most special touches was the small Polaroid album she put together for them to take home at the end of the night.

Hello friends! I am a photographer and graphic designer based out of Des Moines, Iowa. I have been shooting since I was 16 years old.

From the moment we reached out to Meghan she was incredibly organized and detail oriented - it took away a lot of stress on our part!

Your biggest hype girl, professional third wheel, and love-story catcher. I’m all about building real connections with my couples so your photos feel true to you. With a dark and moody style, I focus on the raw, romantic, in-between moments — the deep breaths, stolen glances, and big belly laughs. This isn’t just about pretty pictures; it’s about telling your story honestly, emotionally, and artfully. If you're after a photographer who feels more like a friend, I'm your girl. Let’s make magic together.

When we were planning our wedding, searching for a photographer took us a long time because we didn’t just want to pick anyone. My husband finally came across Kayla and we instantly fell in love with her style. Me and Kayla had a FaceTime call to chat and get to know each other and I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer aside from how good her photos were! She is so professional, friendly, funny and super personable. She not only is our photographer for life but I can also say she has become one of my very good friends! I highly highly recommend her! Her photos are beautiful and she makes you feel so special on your big day! She goes above and beyond on your day to help you with your dress and just make sure everything runs smooth! You won’t regret it! Book a session!!!

I'm Alyssa, a Des Moines-based intimate wedding and elopement photographer with nearly 15 years professional experience behind the camera. I'm endlessly inspired by nature, art, and architecture, and you'll often find me photographing love in various gardens, museums, greenhouses, historic homes, parks and galleries. My style leans documentary with an editorial feel and some avant-garde influences. Since my approach is mostly candid and non-intrusive, you can focus on being present with your people and enjoying your wedding day to the fullest.

I'm a micro-wedding venue owner and I recently hosted a gorgeous LGBTQ+ styled shoot. From beginning to end Alyssa was a pleasure to work with. She initiated correspondence - including overall vision, clear expectation, and a comprehensive schedule for all vendors. Her ability to pull a vision together and pay attention to detail are equally strong. She had the ability to manage a project while simultaneously making all vendors and models feel comfortable. She excels at bringing out the most of her models & left the venue in great condition. I will not hesitate to work with Alyssa again - She's an absolute pleasure!
