INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DATE
I capture inventive, contemporary, & love-filled images of how you felt on your wedding day.
Weddings go by in a blur. Months of planning culminate in just one incredible day. While you enjoy taking it all in, I get to work freezing your most precious memories so that you can cherish them forever. Those quiet, intimate breaths of connection together. Having fun with the people you love. All the excitement, the thoughtful details, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments - I'll be there to document.
Pre-wedding consultation, timeline assistance, full wedding guide, 48 hour previews, personalized online gallery delivered within 4 weeks of your big day.
After your initial inquiry, we'll meet up for a coffee or via video chat to see if we're the right fit for each other! This is a complimentary service. You can ask me questions + share your hopes & goals for your wedding day photos.
When you're ready to book your day of photo with me, I'll send over a virtual proposal where you can make it official by submitting a contract & deposit. We'll also set a date for your engagement session!
After months of coordination & guidance from me, you'll know you're in good hands when the day finally comes! Relax & soak in every moment of the celebration. Your memories will become a gorgeous collection of photos that you can hold onto forever.
I know how excited you are to relive your day! I'll send you previews in 48 hours & your full gallery will be ready in 4 weeks. Then, we'll carefully design your wedding album - an heirloom to share with generations to come.
I'd love to learn more about you, how you met your best friend, & what you're looking for in a photographer - complete the quick form on my contact page & let's connect! You'll hear from me within 24 hours.
Ilderina was so amazing to have photograph our wedding day. She was the calm in the storm! She helped with planning, was on top of it all throughout our ceremony + reception, and even surprised us with the cutest personalized USB and keepsake box after our wedding. We flip through our photos often and are so pleased with the entire experience. Thank you from The Piric’s!
Ilderina was so easy to work with. As soon as we booked her, she was all hands on deck. She made sure she 100% understood the images we wanted captured and the day of schedule! The photos we received look like a dream! Her attention to detail is amazing!! I highly recommend Ilderina to anyone who’s looking to have high quality photos where you can feel the emotions through the gallery even after your special moment has passed.
My camera has a dual card slot meaning each image taken at your wedding is instantly copied to two places. After the wedding day, your images are backed up onto two external hard drives & the cloud. Both memory cards are saved until your gallery is delivered! Your online gallery is active for 1 year, & I keep a copy of all your final images forever.
Clients regularly express appreciation for my quick response times, effective communication, attention to detail & organization, and my emphasis on ensuring you're taken care of throughout the process + on the wedding day. There are no secrets with me — I'll share access to real full wedding galleries + my approach to shooting weddings & what your experience with me will look like.
You'll be impressed with fast delivery times, personalized surprises, + extra effort in retouching the small things & other distractions in your photos. I'm an artist, but I'm also a professional, so know that your friends, family, & guests will be treated with respect. All that said, I know you're investing a lot of energy into this day, and the most important thing I want is for you to feel supported with the love & attention you deserve.
I am based in Des Moines, Iowa and yes, I travel! 60 miles of round trip travel is included with engagement sessions & weddings. For destination weddings, I’ll create a custom quote + timeline that captures everything from your arrival party to your farewell brunch. I love exploring new places, & it's not lost on me how special it is to join you on your travels. Wherever you dream of getting married, let's make it happen & create a stress-free plan + unforgettable adventure!

A second photographer is not always needed, but depending on your timeline & other logistics, it can be a great way for me to be in two places at once & get different perspectives from the day. I highly recommend having one if it’s within your budget. We can talk more about this option during your consultation call!
