A Touch of Amy

Weddings are my passion, pure and simple -

I love everything about them from the grandest most romantic gesture to the smallest most touching detail. While my style has been dubbed "modern classic," my goal is to bring out each couple's own unique style and vision, using my energy and expertise to create the most relaxing and pleasurable experience imaginable.

Since moving to the Des Moines area just over 4 yrs ago I have photographed nearly 150 weddings. Currently, wedding-related photography makes up about 90% of my portfolio. But when not spending time with my brides I love to capture everything from portraits, children and grads to art subjects… including the enchanting and historic East Village district which features weekly in this blog.

I am so thankful for the friendships and fulfillment I have found through photography ― and for the people who invite me to share some of the proudest and most moving moments of their lives.

"My husband and I could not have been happier with Amy. The minute we met her, she made us feel comfortable and we immediately started having a blast. The engagement session reiterated our decision and we ended up with stylish yet timeless photos that we continue to get compliments on. When our wedding day came, we knew we wouldn't have to worry about Amy. … We loved her. Our wedding party and our guests loved her too! … Did I mention she's totally incredible at taking photos?!” – Sarah & Pat

New studio..a new light

Posted in Children, Seniors, Families & more, Destination Weddings, East Village, Portraits, Sneak Peeks, Weddings

After three wonderful years in the East Village’s Teachout Building, I have re-located just right down the street!

I can now be found at 432 1/2 E. Locust St, Des Moines. Next door to one of my favorite shops, Aimee — and two doors down from the Locust Tap. During my easy transition into the new space, I managed to squeeze in a few shoots with some dear clients and friends. The light here is very different than that in my previous studio. It’s, well, lighter!… simpler… and more intimate.

I would also like to share a little taste of last weekend’s wedding. I had the incredible opportunity to shoot in Washington D.C. –
Alexandria, VA, to be exact. I even managed to shoot an engagement couple while I was in town! See the shot taken at The Castle, the original Smithsonian.

Looking forward to an absolutely amazing rest of 2012!
