A Dreamy Iowa Capitol Elopement

As a Missouri-based elopement photographer, I’m passionate about capturing intimate and authentic moments for couples. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph a beautiful elopement at the stunning Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines. This small, intimate ceremony was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

The couple, who were local to the area, wanted a stress-free and fun elopement experience. They chose the Iowa Capitol for its breathtaking architecture and timeless elegance, creating the perfect backdrop for their special day.

A Stress-Free and Fun Elopement Experience

From the initial consultation to the final delivery of their photos and videos, my goal was to make the entire process enjoyable and seamless. Here’s what the happy couple had to say about their experience:

“Salima made everything feel so easy and fun. Even before the day started, she was super organized; she took the time to make sure we were on the same page about the style we wanted, even sending inspiration pictures to get everything just right.

During the session, she guided us every step of the way, which made us feel so comfortable. We laughed, had the best time, and never once felt awkward. I wanted the experience to be stress-free and fun, and she absolutely made that happen!

What meant the most to me was how attentive and kind she was. She even showed me some of the pictures as we went – to make sure I loved them, which I really appreciated. And the little videos she captured? They were a total dream! She didn’t just take pictures, she caught the real, raw moments and all the little details that made the day so special.

Honestly, it was the best experience ever, and I’m so grateful we had her to capture it all!”

Reading such heartfelt words from my clients is truly the best reward. It reinforces why I love capturing these special moments. My approach is to not just take photos, but to create an experience that allows couples to be themselves and enjoy their day to the fullest.
