Kari was so helpful & accommodating. I needed a simple professional headshot for one person which is not easy to find. She not only deviated from her normal clientele, she worked with my schedule and made adjustments after my appointment as needed/requested. I had more than enough photos to choose from. In addition, she was very reasonably priced!

amazing service, the quality of work is wonderful.

As many of you know, your wedding day goes by way too quickly, and you will miss some much of it! This was the case for us this past weekend anyways! This morning as I view our video from the day that Twelve One has created I find myself in tears! All those precious moments that I thought I had missed were right there for my viewing. Every. Single. Moment. Words cannot express our gratitude! We will forever cherish this keepsake! Donovan and Meagan, you guys are simply the best!! �

Did awesome with my wild 1 year old at cake smash!

Thank you for your fabulous work yesterday in that miserable heat. You have such a kind, gentle way as you worked with all the friends & family that were at Sammy & Shawn's wedding yesterday! Can't wait to see the moments you captured � (no rush, take your time!) You are such a blessing to us!

I could not recommend a better wedding photographer ! She made sure our day was prefect! She is organized and made sure we got every shot we requested! She did a amazing job of taking candid shots without you noticing she was even right there. Thank you so much for everything ! It felt as though we had another friend at the wedding �

Gorman House shot our wedding and engagement last fall. They were very friendly and flexible, and their helpful guidance demonstrated their knowledge and experience. Yet, the photographers were also able to accommodate our personal preferences. Their work was focused and efficient, neither paralyzed by waiting on our instructions, nor overbearing and bossy. As for the shots themselves, our natural surroundings were incorporated very well, and all were marked by a strong sense of style.For our wedding, we took photos before the ceremony itself, so time was more limited than the usual post-ceremony approach. It was also raining, and we and the photographers were driving around downtown to find places with character. Choosing places was simple and stress-free, there was no stalling or “giving us the routine.” Despite the rain, the time constraints, my eyes-closed-mouth-open picture face, and the pressure to get good photos on the first try, the photographers remained patient, professional, creative, and collaborative. For example, the response to the rain was, “Let’s take some umbrella shots!” or, “Let’s do them on this house’s beautiful porch with a roof!” (But they didn’t trespass; the house was across the street from the wedding site and the owners offered.) And when we offered any pictures ideas of our own, we were not merely humored, but also helped along in getting the best pictures a given situations. We were allowed to be natural and spontaneous in posing, but the photographers were always ready with pose ideas.During the ceremony and reception, both photographers were very kind, polite, and professional toward us and our guests, they used their time quite efficiently, and they did not disrupt the event in any way. They gathered many great photos with minimal input from us, and they even put them into a wonderful album afterwards (still, of course, working with our personal taste). Throughout the entire process, from engagement to wedding album in hand, the folks at Gorman House were quick and respectful and we could tell that they took pride in their work. Communication was great between everyone as well.We highly recommend Gorman House to anyone looking for photographers who are a joy to work with and quality pictures that are well-suited toward their own tastes, yet not at the cost of having to call all the shots (speaking of cost, they don’t nickel and dime their customers). The people there are great to work with, and they do great work.Also, as an end note, my mother, who lives hours away from Des Moines, has been talking all about having Gorman House do family photos after she saw them at work at the wedding.

Simply Radiant Weddings did a great job capturing photos of all the special moments from our wedding day! We mainly worked with Veronica, but we also had Darian as our second photographer. Veronica got our photos to us very quickly after the wedding. Within the week after our wedding, we started to see sneak peek photos and within about 3.5 weeks we had received our full gallery! Veronica was extremely accommodating with doing additional edits, per my request. We had so many photos we loved whether they were formal photos or candid ones throughout the wedding and reception. We truly enjoyed working with Veronica and Darian!

Elizabeth is so lovely to work with. She is extremely responsive and open to ideas while collaborating, and never fails to communicate key information (as well as her creative vision) in a timely manner, which is key in a professional setting. She has a genuine connection with models, coworkers, and clients alike, and I adore her calm and sincere presence on set. Adding to that, she has a beautiful workspace with tons of natural lighting and AMPLE room for hair/makeup/wardrobe stylists to work. Lastly, she is the Sandra Bullock of Des Moines.
