My time as a high school teacher taught me how to instantly connect with teens and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love photographing high school seniors all over the Greater Des Moines Metro and Midwest (yes, I’m willing to travel). 

Hi, I'm Carrie

OK, I told you they were photogenic, so how could I resist posting another slew of pictures of their ceremony and reception? 🙂 Enjoy the eye candy!

All the girls from Norwalk-the matron and maid of honor played pivitol roles in Kayla’s life and it was only fitting that there be a picture of the three.

I loved the idea of the girls wearing their own black dresses and picking their own shoes-they will definately wear that ensemble again and get their money’s worth while showing their individuality.

The walk down. . .

I’m so glad we could fit everyone on stage!



At the reception, the presiding pastor called this part of the ceremony their “sandbox”. They play well together in it I think:)

The matron of honor’s reaction is the whole reason I’m postin’ this one!

this kiss lasted long enough for me to catch peoples’ reactions to it. Woooo eeeee!
MR. & MRS. POUCHER!!!

I love catching anyone’s happy tears!

These two kept their first kiss for their wedding day and once they were “man and wife” . . . well, let’s just say, they couldn’t get enough! Between the ceremony and reception, we found an open field and let them kiss while we clicked away. 🙂

Kayla initially had the idea of planting her own daisies as a way of saving money. But I totally dig how these turned out instead!

Chowin’ down!
