Allison Marie Photography Blog by Allison Roen, Des Moines area wedding photographer

Are any of you catching onto a theme in my recent posts?? Other than that I’ve been doing all sorts of weddings & engagements? Leave me a comment if you have a guess! =)

Brandon & Hannah are a blast. They have a really cute story of how they met, began dating, and then got engaged…but I’ll wait until their wedding in July to share more of those stories in detail! We began our session at Smokey Row, which is one of their favorite spots in town to hang out. Then we went downtown, and ended up at Gray’s Lake for some nature-ey photos. They are a joy to work with! They have so many shared interests: music, faith in Jesus, roller blading, being outdoors, tennis, camping, traveling…they are a perfect fit together!

I like to pretend this one is in Europe! I love their sweet expressions! My favorite! (below) Hannah & Brandon, I can’t wait for your wedding in only a few weeks!!!

Meet Brett & Angie! We had such a fun shoot last week, and they are an adorable couple to photograph! Angie is so full of joy, and has the most incredible eyes!!

So sweet!! Remember that fun wall where I took some of Jim & Katie’s photos? The luscious wall below is the same one, only covered in green vines! I find that door to be so enchanting, especially covered in vines…it reminds me of the movie “The Secret Garden” – anyone remember that one? It was one of my favorites as a little kid! It really doesn’t get much better than this: The sun peeked out for a few short minutes, so we rushed over to it to get some sun flare shots!

A couple fun photos from an engagement shoot tonight; it was a perfect evening for photos and I can’t wait to post the rest!
