Hi, I'm Ilderina

Iowa wedding photographer with a genuine + elevated approach

 

I've always been a people person. Before I ever picked up a camera, I was the girl who'd make lifelong friends on the first day of school. I've been told I have a talent for making strangers feel like we've been friends for ages — this comes in handy on wedding days, luckily! I'm a Leo, an old soul, & the one who is always ready with the perfect playlist for any occasion.
