Ask about their experience Photographing Iowa weddings.
A good Iowa wedding photographer will have experience shooting weddings in Iowa. They should also provide references from previous clients. If possible, ask them to show you some examples of their work. Personally, I recommend looking through at least two full wedding galleries to get a feel for their work! Additionally, all wedding venues are different. Similarly, it is critical to find a photographer that has experience working in all types of lighting situations. When it comes to finding an amazing Iowa wedding photographer, you should feel confident in their ability to photograph your entire wedding day.
Find out how many Iowa weddings they have photographed.
Ask them what type of photography they specialize in. Do they shoot only one kind of event (weddings, portraits, etc.) or do they offer a variety of services? How much experience do they have with each service? What kinds of equipment do they use?
Check out Iowa Wedding Photographers’ portfolios.
You should also check out their website and social media accounts to see how they present themselves online. If they post lots of photos, ask yourself why. Are they trying to build up their brand? Or are they just sharing their work? One of my biggest tips when finding a photographer is to find someone is truly there to document your day. Don’t hire someone who is just shooting to build their portfolio. Similarly, don’t hire someone that doesn’t care what you want. Truly find someone you trust endlessly and love every aspect of their work!
Look at their website.
A good Iowa wedding photographer will have a website with plenty of images and information about them. They should also have a blog where they share tips and advice about photography (like this one!) Be sure to spend time reading about them, looking through past work, and better understanding the photographer!

” I highly recommend using Alecca as your wedding/engagement photographer! She goes above and beyond to make sure the day goes smoothly, and then when there’s a timeline issue (cause weddings don’t go to plan 🤣) she reassures you that everything is fine and is flexible! Biggest hype woman there is and is so helpful through the whole planning process! Received so many compliments on our pictures and I am absolutely obsessed with them. She gets them to you in a timely manner! Wish I could get married again so I could use her as my photographer all over again 😉🙊” – Abbey + Austin
“I don’t have enough words to express how amazing Alecca is!! From the time we booked her to the time she delivered our final gallery she was genuine, helpful, kind, and always responsive. Most importantly – she loves what she does, cares about her clients, and captured every detail of our day SO. BEAUTIFULLY. Wedding planning is filled with a lot of big decisions. If you’re looking for a photographer that will not disappoint, look no further – I promise it’ll be your best decision yet! We will cherish our photos from this day forever.” – Emma + Hayden
