Fall Engagement
This sweet early morning session at Ledges State Park never migrated over to this blog, so I’m sharing it (may or may not be 10 years later- oops!). Jackie and I were friends in high school, and it’s been so sweet to look back at our friendship over the past 15 years & count the many times she & Collin have had me photograph them and their growing family. Enjoy these sweet documentary-style engagement photos!
Fall engagement photos are always the most sought after, and last year was no exception. Thankfully, Joy & Austin were able to make an early November date work to sneak in photos before winter hit, and I got to spend golden hour at one of my favorite “secret” parks in DSM! Still had some great color (just a little bitter wind, too!). These two are so goofy together, and I can’t wait for their wedding this fall!
Some beautiful fall engagement photos in West Des Moines for your enjoyment!!
Engagement photos for friends is the best- because we just get to hang out in amazing light and be silly together. ;) This engagement shoot was no exception! Michelle and Matt are some of the best people I know, and their partnership is delightful. I can’t wait for their November wedding in West Des Moines this fall!
this is something new for me- engagement photos at the state fairgrounds! I LOVE the Iowa State Fair, and the trees are historic and colorful in the fall. I think they’re the perfect backdrop for a magical engagement session!!
Hailey and Landon made my job SO easy. These two are magical together now, and I know they’ll have an even greater impact on the world around them in marriage. We had a chilly but gorgeous fall afternoon for their engagement photos… click through to see more!
Fall vibes, a golden field of grasses, and changing leaves can only mean one thing… fall engagement photos are HERE! I love this time of year, as nature transitions to what will be winter. It’s the brightest time of year for color! And these bright humans— Geoffrey and Kristie— brought lots of laughter & kisses & sweet moments to their engagement session at Grimes Farm in Marshalltown, Iowa. Click the link for more!
3 years ago, Kyle and Megan had a date at Ledges State Park to hike and enjoy the fall leaves. This October, they’re engaged and planning their June wedding… and we took engagement photos out at Ledges! It was the perfect fall evening, so take a peek at this cute couple. ;)
Niki and Sam both teach music, in different schools in Northern Iowa. In fact, they technically meet in college at the University of Northern Iowa (go figure and Go Panthers!) but didn’t start to actually interact until a few years later, post college. I love them and the photos we captured together in downtown Cedar Falls, Iowa!
Last night, I met up with Jenna and Treye in the downtown Des Moines area. A month ago, I photographed their proposal in West Des Moines. The next day they bought a house, and the following week, these two asked me to photograph their wedding. (I am sooo thrilled!) They’ll get married in Pella next June, and celebrate at Central College… and it’s going to be gorgeous!
Casey and Alycia won my summer giveaway last year— which meant that we got to hang out one evening in late October, and take some beautiful fall pictures! I met Alycia through a mutual friend back when she was in undergrad school at UNI, and when I was at Hawkeye for photography. They were looking for an engagement photographer, and I just happened to be available. ;)
