Awarded Best of Zola
“Blake and I were so grateful we chose Peridot & Lace for our wedding photo and video team. Their staff is so on top of communication! They asked us all the photo/timeline questions we didn’t even know to ask, to best prepare months in advance for our wedding day. And were also quick to respond to any last minute requests/questions as the wedding day came closer. We worked with Kirsten for our engagement photos and on our wedding day- could not say enough kind words. She was detail oriented and had the best energy to keep us feeling relaxed and comfortable behind the camera. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day with full confidence that the P&L team would get all the shots we wanted. We have hundreds of beautiful photos and great video coverage that perfectly captured us and the emotions of our wedding day. So glad we decided to include video in our package. Editing was super timely with getting sneak peaks the day after, as well as getting full photos and videos digitally not long after that. Would recommend P&L to any couples.”

I’m a wedding photographer in Des Moines, Iowa. I want to help document your happily ever after. When I’m not shooting weddings, I enjoy spending time with friends, writing, and reading good books. Weddings hold a special place in my heart, and I would love to help document your special moments.

“Haley Electra Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Haley and her team were clear, encouraging, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They were so hard-working, willing to go the extra mile, and their final work was simply amazing. Haley was incredibly flexible, making sure we got every shot we wanted, and having a second photographer there made the getting ready portion of the day super easy and smooth. Haley and her team are not only incredibly talented, but also super sweet and a joy to be around.

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).

Susan Manning Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Prairie City, 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! :)”

I'm just a chick with a camera in one hand and a white monster in the other. I'm typically the type of photographer who is known for being a hype girl, one of the first to dance floor, and will be your BFF by the time the wedding roles around!

“From our first conversation, Everlasting Photo proved they were different from other photographers we looked at. MK kept things simple and straightforward, which made planning feel easy. On our wedding day, MK kept everything running on schedule while still capturing the candid moments that felt real and genuine. MK's photos are stunning and show a high level of creativity. What impressed us most was how efficient they were—they got the shots we needed without making us feel rushed or posed. We'd recommend Everlasting Photo to any couple looking for photographers who deliver top-notch work.”

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
“When we first got engaged, Haverlee Photography was a no brainer, and she lived up to everything and more. Every picture from our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day is stunning and I have the hardest time picking my favorites. Hands down, best decision on wedding vendors was picking Haverlee. On top of delivering beautiful photos we will cherish forever, Haverlee made everything so fun and easy. My husband said our engagement session was like a date night, and Haverlee had me feel so at ease and beautiful through every step of our wedding day. She is the kindest human who gets the perfect shots of all the small moments, which truly matter to us and feel like us. Haverlee will always be our go to photographer for all the special moments for our family, and you can't go wrong with choosing her to be a part of your special day.”

“From our first conversation, Angela was easy to get in touch with and answered all our questions right away. She helped us plan out our timeline so we knew exactly what to expect on the big day, which took so much stress off our shoulders. Angela has a gift for capturing different moments and angles that we didn't even know we wanted but absolutely love now. Her turnaround time for our photos was impressive, and we had our sneak peeks within days. What really stood out was how warm and personable she was while working—it felt like we had a friend behind the camera instead of just a photographer. We couldn't be happier with Angela Mallett Photography and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares about getting it right.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Chelsey was honestly the best choice we could’ve made for our wedding. She’s super sweet, easy to work with, and made us feel really comfortable the whole time, which helped a lot because we’re not used to being in front of the camera. She also went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect, she helped fix my hair when my hair tie broke and even adjusted my dress when a button came off. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!”
