Holleen and Becca are hands down the best photographers in Des Moines. Not only do they make everyone laugh, they set the tone for the entire day. They were my sister's photographers and as a fellow wedding vendor, I have worked with them countless times. Any wedding they are wedding is sure to be a good time. They are professional, hilarious, and ALWAYS capture the best photos. If I could give them 10 stars I would!
Best. Ever. We loved Becca and Holleen. They were amazing before, during and after. My husband and I hate having pictures taken because we’re so self-conscious and just feel awkward. Becca and Holleen made us feel so comfortable during formal pictures and then we didn’t even notice them as they were taking pictures during the ceremony and reception. The photos themselves were brilliant and just what we wanted. They are super easy to work with and professional without being stuffy. Book them. You won’t regret it.
Becca and Nan were excellent from start to finish. They incorporated all of the ideas that I had for pictures for the wedding and incorporated unique ideas of their own as well. I normally hate getting pictures taken but they made it easy for everyone! I would absolutely recommend them for capturing your special day!
So happy with my wedding pictures! Photographers were fun and organized!
Blind Photography knew how to make me feel like a beautiful bride and my Groom actually felt comfortable in front of the camera (for once in his life)! I haven't stopped hearing from our family and friends how awesome they were. They are fun, affordable, easy to work with, and amazing at what they do. Also, very quick at responding and getting the photos back to us. By far the best wedding vendors we had all day.
Becca and Holleen are true professionals. They handled our large, and at times rowdy, wedding party and family with humor and grace and the perfect amount of direction. They were open to any of our picture ideas and added their own creative touches. They truly made our day easy and much less stressful, while keeping everything moving. They also handled a very scary situation that came up with grace and support. Their turnaround time for photos is also unmatched. I strongly recommend them!
Loved working with Holleen and Becca! They put you at ease, bring out the best in people. Felt like I was sharing a beautiful day with great friends. Photos are so beautiful, family and friends continue to gush about them still now 9 months later. Captured details and expressions with such a keen eye, you can really relive the moments and feel the joy of the entire day. I highly recommend them. Close friends , who will be getting married this year, have booked them as well. I could not have had a better experience. Thanks ladies!
This was the best experience I have had with a photographer. These ladies were so fun and easy to work with. They have great energy, made us laugh and feel comfortable, and really took time to fit in every idea we had! Even in just an hour session we shot at three locations, and had an outfit change! The pictures came back quickly and were gorgeous! The p
The ladies at Blind Photography are fantastic! Not only do they take beautiful pictures, they have fun doing it!
My fiancé and I had a blast taking our engagement pictures. We felt relaxed and happy working with Blind Photography, and because of that, our pictures show the real us. Nothing overly staged, or too stuffy. Beautiful pictures for a great price. We can't wait for our wedding.
Finally, and most important for a lot of people, the turn around time is days, not weeks. We took our engagement pictures on a Sunday and had digital copies by Wednesday! I highly recommend Blind Photography!
These ladies are awesome! Not only did they take breath taking photos and think of creative shots to capture each moment they were fun too! We will definitely use them in the future for other photos!
There are not enough words to describe the outstanding experience we had with Blind Photography. Holleen and Becca were extraordinary to work with prior to the arrival of the wedding. They discussed a multitude of shot, positions, areas and let us choose every last detail. On the day of the wedding they were pumped and ready to go. Their love for their job, their enthusiasm for their clients and the fun they have on a day-to-day basis is phenomenal to watch and be a part of. I would recommend no one else to photograph your special day. Blind Photography is the way to go if you want your wedding to be the happiest day of your life. I knew when I was getting married that I would be inviting my husband to be a part of my family, but I never knew that I would be gaining two sisters, Holleen and Becca, that very same day. Thank you ladies for your hard work and dedication. For the picture perfect wedding, Blind Photography is the only way to go!
I have used Blind Photography for over 10 years now. They were recommended to me by a friend and I was pleasantly surprised. They have a way of capturing expressions and the mood of the room. They did a great job and even took charge a bit- to get people involved in the photos (even some that didn't want to cooperate). They follow your suggestions and keep their creative edge at the same time. My husband and I were married in 2002, and have since had Blind Photography do all of our family photos.
Our photographers were AMAZING!! They were so much fun to work with and they captured so many great memories! I gave them a timeline of when things were going to take place and a list of pictures that I wanted to make sure we would get. Their personalities are a ton of fun and our wedding party had to much fun with them! Our pictures are outstanding and I definitely wouldn't go with anyone else, but BLIND PHOTOGRAPHY!
Becca & Holleen did an awesome job photographing our wedding. I am very pleased with how the pictures turned out, and the mother/daughter duo are very warm, caring and creative!! They will make your big event or any photos memorable and comfortable. They really listen to your own style and personalities and adjust the photos accordingly. Would definatly recommend. Also another perk is that we had about 165 people at our wedding and we have photographs of everyone who attended.
The ladies at Blind Photography made my wedding day! I have a very high maintenance family that could have easily made the day very stressful. Holleen and Rebecca were laughing and joking at every turn and reminded us all to have as much fun as possible. I have no doubt that most other photographers would not have captured the smiles that these ladies did, as they simply would not have been as happy of faces! I have, and will continue to recommend them to everyone and will always return for future photography needs.
Blind Photography was the first photography "interview" we did in preparation for our wedding. It ended up being the only one, too, because we both liked Becca and Holleen instantly, and felt completely comfortable with them. And their photo portfolios are amazing! Even though they encouraged us to meet with other photographers to be sure, we wanted to go with them -- and I'm so happy we did! We had an unseasonably hot day for our wedding day, and a maid of honor with the stomach flu, and so even though we didn't get a lot of outdoor photos like I wanted, the indoor photos turned out beautifully. It was incredible how well they made-do with a last-resort sort of location for our photos! They were also very accommodating to my special request for group photos of the wedding party guests. We heard a lot of remarks from our guests about how great our photographers were, and our wedding party loved how fun they were to be around. As a bonus, we got our CD of photos very quickly, and I loved that I had the freedom to post and print those photos. Simply wonderful women & talented photographers!
What a wonderful couple of ladies. We had a very unique wedding party with a variety of personalities. The photographers were able to capture all of them at their best! They were able to make my dad actually smile while wearing a tux and my two year old nephew giggle. They captured the moments the emotions of the day and froze them in time. They were very quick with the editing so I could receive my photos and smile at the memories. The pictures are simply amazing and will be hanging on my walls for years to come. Since my wedding day they have taken all of my professional photos. Their work is amazing and their personalities help me be at ease at very stressful times. I will not go anywhere else. Simply amazing!
My wedding day was 101 degrees. The ceremony was in direct sunlight. It was beyond excruciatingly hot. My picture were beautiful. You cannot tell that everyone was dying of heat in the pictures. The gals were so professional, and have a great eye for what will make an awesome picture. I would hire them again in a second, and plan to return to their services for family pictures in the future. LOOK NO FURTHER. THESE ARE THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU WILL FIND. (without breaking your budget)
Blind Photography did all the photos for our wedding in Monroe, Wisconsin on 4 Aug 2012. There were two things I was very focused on/picky about; the wedding ceremony itself and the photography. I wanted (like everyone) to look beautiful on the day I married the love of my life, and I am a little self-conscious after recently having a baby. So picking a photographer was a very big deal for me; more so than any other vendor.
I planned most of our wedding while my fiance was deployed, with a brand new baby at home, from 1200 miles away, with a short timeline. So you can imagine the stress I was under. When we were looking for photographers, we really liked that Blind Photography has a ton of pictures on their website, so you can see exactly what they have done in the past and get ideas for how you might like your own wedding to be shot. We also found that they were very reasonably priced, especially when you compared their services to other photographers. What struck me was the 'eye' they both have for the subject; much better than other photographers and for less cost!!! And Blind Photography was willing to drive over 5 hours one way to shoot our wedding! SOLD! When I first emailed them, I received a prompt and friendly response. I was fortunate to be able to meet Becca before the wedding, and was struck by how kind and sweet she and Nan both are. This continued on the day of the wedding. They were both VERY understanding to a sensitive bride, and very helpful on the day of the wedding with posing so that I looked perfect. They ask lots of questions beforehand so you aren’t left wondering the day of the wedding- do you want formal or informal? Journalistic or staged? When do you want us there? Do you want 'getting ready' photos? etc This ensures that everyone has the same ideas in their mind about how the day will look on film; VERY important!!! It's hard to communicate a picture in your mind, but all the questions and coordination made it very easy. We chose to have some formal and most of them journalistic. I think our exact words were: "Do your thing!" lol My family is large, talkative and hard to wrangle, but Nan made sure we had people where they needed to be in photos when they needed to be there and kept it moving so we didn't take all day with pictures (our reception was outdoors and it began to rain.) And their communication; I NEVER wondered about what was going on, I always felt at ease and understood what was happening when. Our wedding pictures came out perfectly - fun and whimsical with our personalities shining through, but also capturing the solemnity of our marriage. Nan and Becca got proofs up before we were even back from our honeymoon and we loved every one of them. I cannot speak highly enough about the experience we had with Blind Photography. They don't just do wedding either; we will definitely be using them again. If your wedding pictures matter to you, you won't want to use anyone else! They made my day simply perfect!
Blind Photography took our engagement and wedding photos and are also scheduled to take photos of our new baby. These women are amazing - they are so professional and also bring a fun vibe to any occasion. As a lesbian couple, we wanted to make sure our photographers were comfortable with us; many of them were not but Blind Photography didn't hesitate! They had amazing ideas for our engagement photos that reflected our personalities perfectly. During our wedding, they captured everything going on and had great raport with our guests. They even brought fun props for our 'photo booth' - our guests loved them. We have our wedding pictures proudly displayed in our home; they are beautiful.
Blind Photography takes the extra step to help make every occasion a memorable one. We will use Blind Photography for all events going forward and highly recommend them to everyone.
Blind Photography did an amazing job capturing all of the moments that were really important to my husband and I, during our wedding! They were very organized with great attention to detail, and fun to work with! They helped lessen the pre wedding nerves! I still love looking at all the great photos they took. My husband and I just had a maternity session done with Blind Photography and plan on using them for all the important milestones in our lives!
The ladies at Blind Photography were utterly fantastic! We had a Costume Wedding so I was particularly excited about the photographs! The ladies arrived promptly (in costume) to do the pre ceremony photos and immediately put everyone at ease with their fun energy and professionalism. My wife, the wedding party and I were able to relax and enjoy the process to the point where we didn't get nervous again until the music started playing. We walked down the aisle confident that the posed shots before, the photos during the ceremony and the shots taken at the reception would be fantastic. The resulting work was fantastic and is proudly displayed in our home. I am hoping I can book them far enough in advance to have them photograph the renewal of the vows!
The ladies @ Blind Photography do great work; they made my wedding day fun and stress free. My amazing wedding images they captured have brought back wonderful memories and emotion every time I look at them. I now use them for all my family picture sessions. I recommend them to everyone I know!
We were married almost 7 years ago and used Blind Photography as out photographer. They were just starting their business when we were married and we were one of their first weddings. They made everyone feel comfortable and actually made the pictures fun, which clearly shows in the photos. It has been fun to watch them grow and see all the new and creative things they are doing.
As we have moved on and started a family Blind Photigraphy has been there every step of the way with baby and family photos. I now feel like they are part of my family and they have given us many timeless memories. We would never think of using anyone else.
They are priced right and spend a lot of time to make sure everything Is perfect! I have and will continue to recommend Blind Photograpy to family and friends!
We used Blind Photography's services 5 years ago for our wedding. Revisiting our picture album, one thing that rang true was the timeless images throughout!
They made the day easy on a bride and groom. Working with our ideas and bring wonderful ideas we wouldn't have thought up!
I highly recommend Blind Photography for weddings and family pictures. In fact I gave a photo package to a friend for the birth of their first baby!
They are a wonderful local family owned business and return to them again and again!
I absolutely loved the pictures! The experience you get while getting your pictures done was well worth it. The album that Becca compiled was done beautifully and well worth it. I would recommend Blind Photography for all of your photography needs.
We looked at several other photographers and we compared the quality with price and we knew Blind Photography was for us!! Holleen and Becca are brilliant and creative photographers and brought out the best not only in my husband and I, but also our wedding party. I can't imagine our most perfect day with any other photographers. The quick turnaround of the pictures and we have all the rights to the pictures was awesome! We have ordered several prints and a wedding book and we could not be happier!! THANK YOU!!
3 photographers came and they were all amazing! Plus you get the rights to your pictures and a cd so that you can make your own pictures whenever you want! Highly recommend!!
These ladies and intern Kate was great to work with, any pictures you have seen just send it to them and they will make it happen! Funny, Easy Going and proofs the next weekend, online link to send to friends and family that could not make it or want to order, Love it!
After looking at a half-dozen different photographers, we settled on Blind Photography - they turned out to be an amazing choice! They were great before the big day; they let me send pictures I had found that I loved and put together a timeline for me. When they arrived day-of, they brought 3 photographers, along with the pictures I had sent them so they could put their own twist on them. They were never intrusive, and they were extremely patient when it came to family photographs. For the price we paid, they blew us away both in quality and service!
Our photographer was one of our favorite aspects of the wedding day. They were punctual, professional, friendly, fun, energic and creative. They were flexible. They kept to the schedule, they helped keep all of us on track and focused. They made the best use of our 8 hours of service and our pictures turned out fantastic. I've looked at the pictures over and over again online. They superseded our expectations, I couldn't have been happier with our choice of photographers in DSM.
We used Blind Photography for our engagement and wedding pictures and we LOVED everything about them. They were professional, friendly, the pictures were awesome (artsy and candid) and most of all for us, they made us feel so comfortable and fun.
I LOVED working with Becca and Holly!! They had such great personalities that matched my husband and mine, and their photos were phenomenal!
All of their pictures were beautiful, and my husband and I looked so relaxed in them because they kept making us laugh and feel so comfortable in front of the camera!
I loved their sense of humor as well as their professionalism, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great photographers in the Des Moines area!
When you book Blind Photography, you get an amazing mother-daughter team who will capture your special day from hair & make-up through the last dance. I booked them at a wedding show a year before our wedding because I knew right away they would vibe well with us (as a couple) and our families. They are fun, inventive and professional, yet made everyone feel at ease during the long photo process. They even helped get my dress bustled when everyone else left me stranded during the cocktail hour! :) We were able to share our vision with them and took every last image we requested. In addition to their very fair pricing, we got the full rights to reproduce the photos which is rare to find and I'm super excited to give them as Christmas gifts this year. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great photographer - either wedding, portraits, seniors, whatever. My husband and I had such a great experience, we've already talked about how we might be able to use them in the future.
