Documentary Wedding Photography in Des Moines & Beyond
Welcome! I’m Liz, the heart behind Elizabeth Ann Photography.
I photograph weddings with a documentary approach and an editorial eye, blending genuine moments with intentional composition. The result is imagery that feels elevated but never stiff, romantic but never forced. Photographs that don’t just show your wedding day, but let you relive it.
Based in Des Moines, Iowa and serving couples across the Midwest, I also photograph destination weddings and elopements for celebrations that take you beyond the Midwest. Whether you’re planning close to home or somewhere far away, I bring a calm presence, thoughtful preparation, and a storytelling approach to every wedding I photograph.

Weddings
Weddings are photographed with a documentary approach and an editorial perspective, allowing moments to unfold naturally while maintaining a refined, intentional aesthetic. The focus is on composition, movement, and connection, creating imagery that feels effortless, elevated, and timeless. Photographs that hold both emotional weight and visual longevity.
Portraits
Portrait sessions are approached with the same editorial sensibility and documentary influence as my wedding work. The focus is on natural movement, subtle direction, and creating imagery that feels effortless and true to the season of life you’re in. Each session results in a refined collection of images, balancing intentional composition with honest, in-between moments.
Destination Weddings
Destination weddings are approached with the same documentary foundation and editorial sensibility as my work at home, with added attention to travel logistics, light, and location. From intimate celebrations to thoughtfully planned wedding weekends, each destination wedding is photographed with intention, ease, and a refined visual perspective. Wherever your celebration takes place, the focus remains on connection, composition, and imagery that feels timeless and grounded.

Liz and her team did an INCREDIBLE job as our wedding photographers. We communicated for well over a year before the actual wedding, and she was always prompt and kind. Our engagement photo session was beautiful, and the wedding photos turned out gorgeous. Thank you so much Liz!!

Liz is amazing!!! She did both our engagement and wedding photos! She is very personable, and asked many times about inspiration pictures to make sure we were getting the photos we loved! She delivered our entire 1000+ wedding gallery in ONE DAY, and the photos are amazing. I will be working with her in the future again for maternity/family photos when the time comes. I cannot recommend Liz enough!!!!!
