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.

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
Right off the bat — Kirby is so kind, so easy going, and made our photography journey for our engagement + wedding so incredibly stress-free while delivering the MOST BEAUTIFUL photos we could have ever imagined. When I booked with Kirby last October, I was so excited, but had NO IDEA how incredible our experience would be. Kirby is a next-level photographer and she GENUINELY CARES about her clients. I will be a client for life. From booking, Kirby reached out to us at least monthly to check in on planning and her communication made the whole process less stressful. She never left me wondering and was always giving me advice! She made the photography piece of our big day the most stress-free part. She delivered her photos for engagement and wedding ahead of her estimated deadline in the contract, and even gave us sneak peek photos a day or 2 after each session. And every photo is absolutely STUNNING. If you’re looking for a next-level photographer who cares about YOU, Kirby is really the best around. Not to mention she dealt with our giant wedding party with so much grace, all while nearly 8 months pregnant! She is so dedicated to her work, and every time I look at my photos, it still feels like a dream. I really don’t have the words to describe how amazing my experience with a Kirby was, Nevin + I are so grateful!

Susan Manning Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves St. Marys, 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.

We absolutely loved working with Susan for our engagement and wedding photos! She made both of us feel so comfortable from the start (no easy feat for my now-husband in front of the camera!) We got married during an ice/sleet storm, and she really helped keep me calm when I realized that my vision of wedding photos outside were going to be a no-go. I can't tell you how many compliments I still get about all of our photos, over a year after our wedding. Highly recommend booking her for your big day -- but do it fast! I have a feeling her calendar will only start to book up more and more as people discover her and her incredible talent :)

Hey y’all! I’m a portrait + lifestyle photographer based in the Midwest. I’ve had some sort of camera in hand for as long as I can remember, but it got serious about 5 years ago when I purchased my first DSLR! All I’ve ever wanted to do in my life is create - but I never thought I would be where I am today. I truly am doing what I love and loving what I’m doing. xoxo, Jillian

We worked with Jillian at a wedding in Iowa City a few years ago now. She was the photographer and we were the videographer team and she was so kind and pleasant. An added bonus is that her work is stunning! Highly recommend hiring for weddings and gets an A for working with other vendors.

Everlasting Photo

  • Serves St. Marys, IA

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 present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves St. Marys, 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 cannot recommend Jason enough! I found his work prior to getting engaged and solely based by wedding date around his availability. He has an uncanny ability to capture the raw emotion of a wedding day without making it look "staged" or unnatural. I fell in love with the way he is able to capture the small moments -a tear on your grandfathers face, your nephew falling asleep on your moms chest, children playing during the reception, etc. He catches moments that you don't even realize are happening. His artwork is a story of the best day of my life, and he told it amazingly well. From start to finish, he is a kind, thorough, and receptive vendor. I cannot stress this enough, his communication and attention to detail is unlike any other wedding vendor that we had. We received compliments about Jason all day (and still do!). Everyone was so impressed by his professionalism and upbeat personality. He fit right in with our wedding crew - like we had known him for years! Our wedding photos are a DREAM and I will cherish them forever! If you want wedding photos that will make your jaw drop and cause people to gush about, book Jason! You won't regret it!
