I’ve known these two for years, and actually got to take both Ethan and Maggie’s senior photos. Needless to say, watching them grow into kind & talented adults brings a huge smile to my face! So when Maggie emailed me about photographing their engagement photos, I couldn’t say no. Check out these fun wintery engagement pictures.

These two are so much fun! I met with Kristina last year, before the world changed drastically, and we dreamed together about her wedding day at the Tea Room in downtown Des Moines. Well, 2020 turned on us and Brian + Kristina moved their wedding reception to next year, with an intimate ceremony planned for this fall. Thankfully, they made time to take engagement photos this summer & it was a blast to hang out in East Village and a nearby lake.

Saylorville Lake engagement photos // Evette + Cole

Evette and I met during our college years, and we didn’t really stay in touch. However, social media has a way of keeping even acquaintances connected. So when Evette moved to Des Moines, and got engaged, she sent me an email. It was so much fun to reconnect with her during engagement photos with her and her fiance, Cole!

Whitney and Daniel waited SO patiently throughout the month of April for the weather to warm up and things to settle down with COVID to schedule engagement photos. (We actually planned to take them in April, but pushed photos back to May… and honestly I’m so glad we did because we had the MOST gorgeous night!) You’re going to love this couple. They’re so much fun, and it’s going to be a blast celebrating their wedding in October!!!

I joyfully spent an hour on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon with these two. They made my job SO EASY!!!! I sure hope that someday, Mary and Bobby look back on these photos and remember the simple and tenderness of this season— just them (and their doggo!) making a life together in their first apartment. I smile looking at each one of these, and I hope they bring you joy as well!

Late summer and early fall are some of the prettiest times in the Midwest. Yellow wildflowers pop their shiny faces out of deepening grasses, and storms roll in at sunset to replenish the fields. Megan + Evan’s nature filled engagement session is up on the blog and sure to make you smile!
