Jason Thomas Crocker Photography | Des Moines Wedding Photographer

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Polk City, IA

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

Choosing Jason as our wedding photographer was the single best decision we made regarding our wedding, full stop. If you are thinking about booking him, stop reading this and go!!! Jason and his amazing team were such joyful, calming presences throughout our wedding weekend. Not only were they total pros in handling every shot and every moment, but they were also incredibly fun to have around and they made the day even more fun! They knew exactly when to step in and guide us (help, where do I put my hands?!) and when to let us be in the moment. From the rehearsal through to the wedding, they made everything feel effortless, capturing genuine memories we'll cherish forever. Jason and his team are talented, dedicated, and such a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!

Marissa Williams Bridal Hairstylist

  • Starts at $380
  • Serves Polk City, IA

I am a Bridal Hair Stylist based out of West Des Moines! Styling hair is my passion along with everything that comes with being a Bridal Hairstylist. The busy mornings, laughter among friends/family, traveling to different venues- I love it all!

Awarded Best of Zola
Marissa was fantastic!! She was so easy to work with, flexible, and friendly. I have naturally wavy and frizzy hair, but she gave me a frizz free look without making my hair crunchy or stiff from product. My half up-do was super comfortable and stayed all night with no issues, even after taking my cathedral length veil out. She added a great vibe to the room getting ready and I knew from my trial that I didn’t need to worry about hair at all. Everyone else loved her work as well, she was super knowledgeable and confident in whipping up hairstyles the day of for the bridesmaids and my mom. She even worked with my maid of honor’s natural curls to touch them up and add a little style. Couldn’t recommend her more!

We could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over. We could tell we were going to be in the best hands possible for both us, and our guests. Tyson made everything easy from start to finish and helped us create the dream atmosphere that we envisioned. We want to do it all over again so we can relive the dance floor. Can't recommend him (or the CO2 cannons) enough - best entertainment in DSM, no questions asked.

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Polk City, IA

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is no one in the world who does it like Haverlee. Haverlee was my family photographer growing up, she did my Mom’s maternity photos, she did my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. There is something really special about receiving photos that bring you back to moments you don’t want to forget, and that’s exactly what she captures- every single time. I’m thankful for the ways she doesn’t create staged photos, but captures genuine moments. I couldn’t recommend a photographer more than her, and am absolutely convinced I won’t ever go with another photographer!

I'm not good with wedding stuff, but our day was beyond anything I thought I could ever pull off, but that was because I had the best there is to pull it together. I just described and showed pictures of what I liked, and they took it from there. You have experts for so many facets of your life, having one for wedding is no different and worth every penny.
