Hi there! I’m Hope —a coffee enthusiast, devoted traveler, thrift store lover, Pisces, movie buff, and above all, a passionate photographer. My specialties include concert, lifestyle, and wedding photography, capturing life’s most authentic and sentimental moments.
Currently, I photograph live shows for The Pit Magazine, channeling the raw energy of concerts into striking images. But my heart truly belongs to wedding photography with Complete Weddings + Events, where I document the joy and emotion of your special day.
My love for photography began in childhood, inspired by my sister, who’s also a photographer. Growing up, I was always snapping pictures with a disposable camera, capturing life as I saw it. While earning my degree in Human Services at DMACC, I took a photography elective, and everything fell into place—I discovered my true calling.
My goal is to create a comfortable, fun, and collaborative environment that brings your vision to life. Let’s work together to make your wedding day unforgettable!
If you are searching for a professional photographer to capture your celebration with authenticity and care, Hope is a great option to consider.
To check availability or request Hope for your wedding or special event, contact Complete Weddings + Events Des Moines and let them know you would like Hope as your photographer. We will walk you through photography options, packages, and next steps so you can confidently plan your wedding photos.
"Hope did a great job making us feel comfortable for our engagement photo session, as we had no clue what we were doing! I look forward to see the pictures!"
"The DJ Andy was the best DJ we could have asked for! As the bride, I needed to switch around the reception timeline and he was so flexible and willing to work with us when he easily could have told us we needed to stick to the schedule or given us attitude. He was able to keep a smile and made it the most memorable night of our lives!!!! Also the photographers Hope & Jake were amazing! I literally cannot wait to see these photos! She let me pick some picture ideas and was so go with the flow as well! Both of these people went above and beyond what they needed to do and they did it with a huge smile on their face! I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help make my day amazing! Thank you tons!"
"Everyone was very attentive! Chandler did great with checking in on Nate and I to see if we needed anything, including any beverage refills. The timeline went smoothly and even ahead of time, they accommodated that well to go with it. Hope did great with her pictures and making sure we got images that we wanted. Chandler did great with keeping the dance floor going. "
