About this vendor
Hey there, I'm Kirstie!
Im a bright and colorful wedding photographer here in Iowa! My goal is to make the wedding photography process for my couples easy and enjoyable! (I live for those moments when the groom comments "That was actually kinda fun!" after a photoshoot!) I laugh at everything and my favorite part of a wedding day is getting to hang out with awesome couples and just have a good time together being silly and creating beautiful moments.
Being an Iowa wedding photographer has been on of the best joys of my life! Getting to learn about couples stories and meet so many amazing people is the best part of my job!

Kirstie is an amazing photographer! I love the light and airy aesthetic and when I found Kirstie's website - I was obsessed! We felt so lucky to have her as our photographer and still do every time we look through our engagement shoot/wedding photos. We would recommend Kirstie to anyone looking to get professional photos done - We will certainly be reaching out to Kirstie for any photos in the future!
Kirstie was the most amazing wedding photographer we could have wished for. Even though we were already married (thanks covid) she suggested an engagement photo session to break the ice and get to know each other.
She is fantastic about posing so it doesn't feel awkward or forced but results in fantastic amazing photos. She is super kind and friendly and makes everyone feel at ease. She kicked out all the family photos we wanted in 1/4 the designated time so we had plenty of extra goofy shots that are super fun.
And as a total bonus, she started sending sneak peaks less than 24 hours after the event!!
She is super communicative, really easy and really fun to work with, and I cannot recommend her enough.
I can't say enough about Kirstie. From the moment we met her, I knew she was the right person to photograph our wedding. She's kind, personable, honest, and has unending patience with couples who just can't take a single thing seriously on the big day :) I am not someone who likes having their photo taken, and Kirstie made me feel so at ease. She captured every moment and our photos are absolute perfection. This gal knows what she is doing and I cannot reccomend her enough.
I absolutely adore Kirstie. I had the opportunity to meet and work along side her at a wedding this past summer and was blown away by how sweet, collaborative, and amazing she was. What’s even more impressive was her images she provided to the couple, I mean W O W!!!! I was blown away! You won’t regret choosing her for your big day, if she is available, BOOK HER! ❤️
Kirstie is the BEST photographer around! She is able to easily capture all of the special and intimate moments, while maintaining a positive and bright energy. She is very professional yet easy going, and will make everybody around feel comfortable and beautiful.
She knows how to capture the best moments and cares deeply on the client experience she gives to her couples.
So so sweet! Had such great ideas for our engagement session and made photos super comfortable! Kirstie loves to make you laugh! Her turn around time is also AMAZING! Had a sneak peek the night off and then a full gallery 2 days later, Phenomenal!!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you cannot find anyone better for the job than Kirstie Veatch Photography! After our engagement session, Phil and I knew that we had found the perfect photographer to capture our special day! Kirstie made us feel comfortable right away and was so easy going and flexible throughout the entire process. Our wedding photos captured our day perfectly! Every moment of the day from getting ready, to the first look, walking down the aisle, to the party that followed was captured in absolute perfect detail! Kirstie was even able to get wonderful photos of our huge families! She has such an eye for formal and fun moments. We will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives because we had Kirstie there to capture them all!
Kirstie was great! Very accommodating and fun to work with. We loved all of our photos and are glad we got to work with her.
Kirstie was excellent to work with. She was very fun and friendly! I was honestly nervous at first because I didn’t know much of what I wanted or how to go about things but she was so cool about everything, she knew what she was doing. She put things together so elegantly and made everything look so beautiful! I love looking back at my wedding photos in the album I purchased. I highly recommend her to anybody wanting memories of their special day perfectly captured.
Look absolutely no further for the best photographer for your engagement and wedding day. The only thing as perfect as marrying the man of my dreams was having Kirstie as our engagement and wedding photographer. She is exceptionally talented, kind, FUN, prompt, detail oriented, and professional. Her eye for lighting, landscape, and capturing the beauty of each unique client is stunning. She responds literally within minutes to any question you send her way, and had all of our wedding photos back to us the week after our wedding. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I would recommend her to all of my closest family and friends in a heartbeat. We love you, Kirstie!!!!
Kirstie was amazing to work with from start to finish. I could not have asked for a more professional, caring, and talented photographer. I feel so blessed to have found someone that captured our day as beautiful as it was through my eyes.
Kirstie took our wedding portraits this February and they are absolutely breathtaking, I am obsessed with them! We have received so many compliments from our wedding gallery. I can not wait to get them hung up in our new home! Thank you so much Kirstie! She worked so well in the cold ice and rain to capture such perfect moments on our special day!

I am not sure that 5 stars is enough. Kirstie was beyond amazing. Nick and I will forever be grateful to her and the photos that she captured of our wedding. I can't begin to explain how amazing our photos are and how happy we are. We were blessed to work with her and can't wait to watch her grow, I don't know how she could get any better though! She is a true professional and I will always know we made the best decision in the world hiring her as our photographer!
If you are looking for a photographer- you need to look at Kirstie Veatch Photography!! Kirstie is so great to work with, easy to communicate with and makes this painless, just ask my husband! We are so please with how our photos turned out and would use her again and again! You will not be disappointed if you chose her!
Kirstie is amazing! She is so kind and so easy to work with. My experience was filled with laughter, and was completely stress free! I recommend her 100%!
I have worked with Kirstie 3 times and she is spectacular!!! Not only does she make it a fun, laid back enviroment, she takes beautiful pictures and edits them beautifully, too. I always have a blast working with her and always look forward to the next time! She's such a lovely person and I love seeing her business grow! I always recommend her :)
Capture Life Portraits did an amazing job on our wedding. We were one of her first weddings and she did so well!! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to take our photos. Kistie makes it as personal, exciting, fun, and natural as possible. We even got our one year anniversary photos done with her and yet again, she keeps impressing me. She is willing to learn new things to make herself better. We will definitely be using her for our future pictures! We even gained a friendship from it!! I don't want a different photographer.
We had a family session taken and there are so many wonderful things to say about the photos that were taken by Kirstie. She did a fantastic job with our family and especially our three year old. She kept our daughter engaged and focused, which led to some of the best smiles and poses that we've seen caught on photograph . We were fortunate to have had such a beautiful day and Kirstie came up with several scenic locations that contributed to some of the best pictures taken. I'm sure I speak for anyone who has had the opportunity to meet Kirstie, but her talent and quality of work speak for themselves and the end result is beautiful memories captured in photographs that will last a lifetime.
Our experience was truly top-notch. Kirstie is such a pleasure to work with she is: prompt, always on time, great at communicating, does beautiful editing/photography, and such a kind and funny gal! I knew she would be the perfect photographer for our photos as soon as I spoke with her because she has such a keen eye - so much talent!!!
We were so impressed during our photography session because she had us do a variety of poses and even though doing engagement photos can be a little awkward she made us smile and laugh the whole time. She made it such a comfortable atmosphere and really caught the most genuine smiles and moments that speak about our relationship. Kirstie keep assuring us that sneak-peek photos would be up in a couple of hours and we were so impressed that she was so quick! The next day she had written a blog and edited even more photos - we are just beside ourselves of how beautiful they look. Truly the best experience - I will be raving about her to every bride!! Thank you so so much :) We are so excited for the photos of our big day!!!
