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. We could not recommend Haley Electra Photography more highly for any couple looking for wedding photography that will capture all the special moments of their big day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rachel is just the BEST!! If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel relaxed and have fun in front of the camera, she's your girl. My now husband and I did engagement photos with Rachel and I still cherish every one. They feel like us and she was really able to bring out our most laid-back, comfortable selves on camera. On wedding day, Rachel is professional, fun, and makes you feel like you're models!! We love our photos and can't thank Rachel enough for the photography she's provided us over the years.

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
Kirby was amazing to work with right off the bat! Her wedding package includes an engagement session and day of wedding coverage. However, she went above and beyond with help planning out the shooting timeline day of and all the logistics for wedding day. I can not recommend her more!

Susan Manning Photography

  • 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.

Haverlee Photography

  • Serves Prairie 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
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!

I’m a photographer at heart! Whilst being a nanny for over 10 years, photography always took a back seat until I got married myself in 2024 and realized I wanted everyone to be able to afford beautiful photos to be able to remember their special day for years to come!

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!

✨WHY✨ I’m a professional photographer is because I believe that your life has PURPOSE. and a story to be captured & remembered. Life is short, and memories fade… but a photo can last for lifetimes.

When I'm not working, I love a good book, chasing sunsets on beaches, skiing in the mountains, or watching Parks & Rec for the 8th time!

She took the time to get to know my husband and I on a personal level, which made the photography experience feel so special and intimate. Amelia had a wonderful way of putting all of our guests at ease in front of the camera, capturing beautiful, natural moments throughout the day. The final photos were truly stunning - personal, artistic, and full of the love and joy we felt on our wedding day.

I want to capture it all. From saying your vows to shaking your ass on the dance floor. Trying to fit the weddings I want to photograph into a box just does not work for me. I will hop on a plane to capture your Colorado elopement or photograph you and your favorite people tearing up the dance floor in your hometown.! - My editing style is timeless and true to color with a touch of warmth. - I value both posed and unposed moments as I believe both are equally important to capture.

Hello my name is Olivia Frueh. I am a formally educated photographer who loves to capture your memorable milestones! I have found a love for my light and airy look that provides a more natural tone to my images.

Liv is amazing! There is no other way to put it. Having her as our wedding photographer might be the best decision we made for our wedding. On the way home from our wedding I told my husband that we would be going to where ever Liv is to get any photography we need for the rest of our lives. Not only did we love every second with her but our family and friends have continued to tell us how friendly, professional, and just great at her job she is. At the end of the day we also ended up with a gallery with amazing pictures. The only bad thing is that we can’t pick which ones are our favorites! Don’t miss out on your opportunity to hire Liv, you truly will not regret it!
