Des Moines Area Wedding Venues

MY FAVORITE 

Emerald Hills is located south of Des Moines and is the perfect spot for a central Iowa wedding. The main building has so much space for all of your guests, plus has an easy flow into the outdoor patio area. The grounds offer so many spaces to spread out!

"our wedding day WaS An absolute dream with Bethany's light-hearted-ness and genuine love for her couples."

KIND WORDS

– Allison + Carson

It's rare to find a photographer who cares so deeply about their clients, and that's exactly what Bethany does! Our images were delivered in a timely manner and all communication was handled with great professionalism. We had the best experience working with Bethany and would highly recommend choosing her to capture your day!"

I could not say enough good things about Bethany, not only as a photographer but also as a person. She always made me feel welcome and loved and allowed me to be myself. Bethany is amazing at all that she does because of who she is! The thing I love most about her photos is that they are timeless! I feel like photos these days can get a little out of hand with editing and styling. I know I can hang up our photos in my house without worrying it will be "out of style" in a few years. She is great at directing the photo, but also capturing who we truly are. The photos look like us, and not two uncomfortable staged people. I know I can always rely on her! She captured the day perfectly. So so thankful for Bethany and am so excited so show off her work for the rest of my life! 

"We chose Bethany because of her authentic-styled approach. She captured our day in its purest form, capturing our true personalities throughout the wedding day.

– Abby + Josh

"The photos look like us, and not two uncomfortable staged people.

– Emma + Nathan

Seeing these photos transported us back to our wedding day and brought all of those moments back to life. We are so grateful that we will be able to cherish these special memories forever! Throughout this process Bethany was so authentic, kind, amazing to work with, and so so so talented!! We feel blessed that God lead us to Bethany to be our photographer."

"The photos are everything we dreamed about and more! Bethany's ability to capture the feeling of a moment is truly incredible.
