We are so excited for you to share in our special day with us!
We met as friends in middle school. We were best friends for four years! As our friendship grew, it turned into love! We now share many interests, mainly our two “children” Jaxson and Mia.
Flash forward two and a half years, and we had been through a lot of life changes together. We had both graduated college and both got our first adult jobs. Braden’s favorite dog from his time working for the dog trainer was having her last litter of puppies, and Braden decided to give Erin what she always wanted and the thing that sparked the conversation that started our relationship, a puppy! We went out to see the puppies every weekend in order to pick the one that was perfect for us. We brought home a tiny Maddy in December of 2017 and she could not have been a better addition to start our little family!
Braden and Erin had talked a lot about getting married at this point and in January of 2018, Braden decided to go pick out the perfect ring. He would soon realize that buying a ring is not an immediate process and he didn’t end up acquiring said ring until May. At this point, we had been talking about getting engaged for so long that Erin was starting to get antsy, especially because she had been accepted to medical school that would soon be starting and didn’t know how feasible it was to plan a wedding while in school. Braden also didn’t want a long engagement which meant we really only had Erin’s first summer break to get married. Braden was trying to buy time while he was waiting for the ring to come in (and he claims throw Erin off), so he suggested they go look at rings one day after Erin got home from work. So, she got home from work that day and said she was ready to go to the jewelry store when Braden pulled out a ring and said, “Well, how about you try on this one first?”
He proceeded to get down on one knee and ask Erin to spend the rest of her life with him. After a solid 3 minutes of shock and staring at him with her mouth wide open, Erin finally said yes! He definitely had the element of surprise as Erin had absolutely no idea this was going to happen, and Braden is the worst at keeping secrets (so naturally that’s why he proposed two hours after picking up the ring). The day was made even more special because he proposed on Erin’s late grandparent’s anniversary who are very near and dear to her heart and who have always shown her what true love looks like. We proceeded to spend the night celebrating with our friends and family who were all just as excited as we were.
We currently live in Des Moines, IA where Erin is in medical school. In our free time, we love spoiling our crazy dog, watching Parks and Rec for the millionth time, creating arguments with board games (we aren’t competitive :), and spending time with our friends and family. We cannot wait for this next step in our lives and are so excited for you to share in it with us!

Q: Do we have to do the traditional formal pictures?
A: No, absolutely not! Our style is genuine, and that is what makes us different. Though formals are nice, it is the shots with raw emotion, the ones we get when our couples don't know we are photographing them, that people fall in love with.
Q: Do I really have to wait 4 weeks to get my images after my wedding day? 1 month seems a bit long….
A: We say that to allow cushion just in case of emergencies. In most cases, you will receive your images in less than 4 weeks.
Q: I often hear that couples regret not investing in a good photographer on their wedding day. Tell me why this is?
A: It is soo very important to invest in your wedding photography. It is key to know, that this will be the only means to any memory that you will have, that is a true representation of how beautiful the day was. Doing your research, and asking the right questions is very important. You hear time and time again, people regretting not investing in a good photographer. You never hear someone regret spending too much on a photographer!
We want our couples to be very confident in their choice of photographer. It is not only important make sure our styles match, but to also make sure our personalities match as well! Please contact us to set up a wedding consultation, free of charge. Here we can get to know one another, answer any questions you have, and show you our latest wedding images and products.
