Downtown Des Moines, Iowa - May 14, 2025

This INCREDIBLE shoot was envisioned and brought to life by one of the very best planners I've worked with - Lydia from Dusk Til Dawn Events. If you are looking for an A+ planner in the Des Moines Metro - she's it! This garden party inspired shoot was STUNNING. I still can't get enough of the gorgeous florals and the bright, spring-inspired color palette. Add in the iconic Tea Room and a beautifully in love couple, and that makes for some incredible images!

These vendors helped make it happen!
