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

I had the privilege of shooting second to a friend from church this past May. Tricia and Brian had a beautiful ceremony that completely honored God, their grandparents and parents. Tricia’s dad officiated the ceremony and to my surprise, the couple sang one of their special music pieces. . . to each other. They have nerves of steel!

Brian and Tricia dated for several years. . . in middle and high school. Then they decided timing wasn’t right and waited on God for another several years. God took His time in growing them, readying them for each other. And eventually, He brought them back together! So here we were May 22nd for the joining of these two high school sweethearts in a fabulous ceremony, led by Tricia’s father and prayed over by Tricia’s grandfather. Super sweet. Here’s a chronicling of their day as seen by a second photographer. 🙂


Getting ready!!

*sigh* the first sighting of his beautiful bride on ISU’s Campeneil. . .



Brian and Tricia were so easy to photograph-flirtatous and cuddly as any soon-to-be-newlywed couple would be.




One for the floral magazines. . .

Messin’ with the bubble makers and testing them out. . .


Tricia planned the music beautifully. She made her grand entrance on the modulation of the chorus. It was GORGEOUS and something the musician in me definately appreciated. If I had known Tricia more than just the few hours of her wedding day, I would’ve been in tears:)

I love capturing moments in the ceremony when the pastor/dad tells a “funny” from when the bride was little. . .


What a sweet ride!!
