Red Door Photo

Absolutely the best photographers!! We highly recommend Red Door! Tammy and Paul are easy to work with, do an amazing job, are great photographers & people, plus they capture photos that you would never have thought possible. Hands down the BEST!

We have nothing but FANTASTIC things to say about Paul and Tammy with Red Door! I’ve worked with them professionally and personally. They were kind enough to donate their amazing services to several fundraisers I organized. I was fortunate enough to work with them again for my engagement and wedding photos. Most recently we have started family photos with our newborn! They are always accommodating, friendly, helpful and aren’t afraid to take charge when needed! As a bride, weddings can be so stressful. Tammy was amazing with helping with me with placement, capturing classic photos and candid moments. They are both wonderful in taking charge of the wedding party and organizing family when coming to photos and even have ideas on how we can make these great events even more memorable. As fellow dog lovers, they were even more than willing to include our fur child in our engagement pics! With family photos, they were ready to share what to wear and were ready to go with props, ideas and cute outfits for our newborn. They were more than willing to include heirlooms and personal touches at my request! Paul and Tammy are established in the community! Not only do they give back through generous donations, but they also partner with and recommend other great local businesses to work with for your big day! Quality is never lacking with photos or products! Their time and focus is shown in their work and editing. We are always pleased with the results we are given! From digit images to wall art, albums and photos, everything is always presented or delivered in aprofessional manner and of the highest quality! We’ve worked with a few other photographers In the past and priced other options. Red Door continues to stay at the top of our list. Not only do they have a beautiful, versatile studio in the heart of downtown DSM which is extremely convenient, but they are willing to travel upon request! Even with their modern accommodations, they stay well within their competitors’ pricing and I’ve found they offer more perks than others can! We will continue to work with Paul and Tammy as our family continues to grow and will recommend them to anyone who is looking. They invest in you and your family and become friends!

Hiring Tammy and Paul for our wedding was the best decision! Not only are they incredibly talented photographers, but they are also kind people who are fun to be around. Their positive energy was infectious and helped make our wedding day memorable. From day one they made us at ease, and worked with us to plan the specifics of our destination wedding. They are so well organized and make a great team! Our photos turned out even better than we could’ve dreamed...they captured every special moment and the amazing candid photos of our family and friends that will document the entirety of our special day in the best way possible. I highly recommend working with Red door photo not only to ensure that your wedding photos are incredible, but also to allow yourself to be stress-free and relaxed on your wedding day knowing they have already handled all the details. Thank you Tammy & Paul!!

I have to give them 5 stars. Not only was the photographs amazing but their personalities are amazing. Our engagement picture session went so smooth he knew fight where to go and made me few way less awkward. Then the day of our wedding they knew exactly what we wanted and have clearly done weddings before so was able to keep us on track. I was super stressed the day of trying to get ready and Tammy was there keeping things light and fun. They got beautiful picture of family and friends. My husband and I would not pick anyone else if we did the wedding over. They felt like family to us.

Paul and Tammy are the best in Des Moines. We have been using them for photos for the past 6 years, starting with my husband's senior photos and up to our wedding this past weekend. They were so thorough and prepared throughout the entire day and took gorgeous photos of us. They are the nicest people alive and will make sure that your day is documented perfectly. We will definitely be using them in the future once we start having babies. :)

I can't say enough good things about Red Door Photo. From our engagement pics to our wedding day, Tammy and Paul have this process DOWN. I received communication from them throughout the 11 or so months leading up to our wedding, and everything was very organized. I felt like they genuinely cared about us as a couple, and about what we wanted for our wedding. When it came to the big day, they kept us laughing and having fun the whole time. They are a fantastic team and we're so happy they were part of our day!

We love Tammy and Paul and their videographer MacKailey! They were the perfect team for our wedding day. Our wedding party is still talking about how much fun they had during pictures! It was supposed to rain the whole day of my wedding and they weren't nervous about it for a minute and were so accommodating in order to get the pictures I wanted! I can't wait to take all of my future photography business to them!

Paul and Tammy are gems to work with. I knew they were right for us the moment we met them. They became more tham vendors, they became friends. Our pictures are stunning! Thank you Paul and Tammy for such a wonderful experience.

Red door photography exceeded our expectations! Paul and Tammy were amazing to work with. We felt comfortable with them right from the start. Picking a wedding photographer is nerve wracking because you want pictures that you will look back on years from now and love. They did just that! Loved how they wanted to know exactly what we wanted and expected out of the photo shoots. Took our ideas and made them 1000x better! They did such an amazing job that we are using them to capture our other milestones in life such as maternity and newborn photos. Highly recommend them and you won’t be disappointed!

We had an amazing time with Paul and Tammy from engagement pictures through viewing our wedding photos online. They were so easy to get ahold of by email or cell phone and go with the flow type people to work with your specific wants, needs, or dream photo ideas! We emailed them engagement photo ideas and not only did these two do their homework on where would be best to take them, they printed the photos and brought them along! Helped us choose what outfits would be best and which locations. And even drive 20 minutes North to get pictures where my husband had proposed! Tammy even helped me plan a timeline of events for our DJ because I wasn't sure what to do. They let you do what you want but are there to help with decisions when asked! They work as a team and are able to be in more than one place at a time, so when the girls are getting ready Tammy is capturing those precious moments while Paul is capturing the "guys being guys" moments! We loved that they could both relate with either my husband or I. Paul got along with all of our groomsmen well and I had heard several of them comment that he was really fun to work with! Their photos are amazing! Paul captures every beautiful moment and Tammy is great at making all of our photos look wonderful! I can't say enough kind words about Red Door Photography!

I could not imagine a better experience! Paul and Tammy were an absolute pleasure to work with starting at our very first meeting. We knew we had to book them. They are such a fun couple to work with and our engagement and wedding photos show how much fun we were having. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous and we get compliments on them all the time. Not only did they give us everything we wanted out of our pictures but they were extremely helpful the day of our wedding. They helped make sure our day went smoothly beyond just our photos. We can't wait for them to capture our next milestone as they are now our photographers for life!

We love Tammy and Paul!! If we could give ten stars we totally would. They made our wedding day so special and captured so many great moments of our wedding day.

I can't even begin to describe how happy we were t work with Tammy and Paul for our wedding and engagement session. They answered the many questions we had and made us feel so comfortable. They captured everything we wanted and were so organized throughout the process. They gave us a timeline for what to expect on our big day and worked with our other vendors to make everything perfect. They captured all the details of our wedding through their photos and I will forever be able to cherish those moments through their work. Simple Amazing!!!!!

I’ve worked with Paul and Tammy on a few community projects as well as my wedding. I’ve been nothing but amazed with their work and there willingness to assist however possible. I would recommend them for all varieties of events!

We absolutely loved working with Red Door. They were not only our photographers but also mirrored a wedding planner. They knew so much about venues, DJ's, timelines, etc. that we knew we were in good hands. They were so flexible and easy to work with and captured every moment that we could ever asked for. We weren't afraid to say or feel our true emotions during our special day because they make you feel so comfortable like being with your friends. Our pictures were absolutely gorgeous and creative that every time I look back I feel like I'm reliving the whole experience. Thanks Tammy and Paul! Also ask for their videographer, MacKaily! She's wonderful too!

The photographers were wonderful! They helped tremendously when our wedding planner wasn't doing the job she was hired for. Very calming, pleasant & efficient. Can't wait to see all our photos!

Red Door Photo and Design are absolutely incredible!!!! They were easy to work with, and are so experienced with weddings!!! During our photo time for our big day they were so organized we were done early, not to mention the shots they got. We had a tough time choosing what we wanted to go in our album and hang on the walls because they were all good!!! The recommendation that I got as a bride was to choose wisely with a photographer and spend the extra money on someone who knows what they are doing, this is them to a tee!!! They are fabulous!!!!

Tammy and Paul are truly amazing at what they do. We could not ask for better photographers!! They are so much fun to work with and truly care about their work and the client. We had so many compliments from our guests asking who our photographers were due to their entertaining personalities and great photos they took. We have 0 complaints and would highly recommend to anyone looking for fun photographers who product absolutely amazing work. Couldn't say enough about these two. They are absolutely phenomenal.

Paul and Tammy are exceptional at what they do! They helped with the flow of our special day and helped ease our nerves. Our pictures turned out beautiful and I can't thank them enough!!

Absolutely amazing! Best photographers we could ever ask for. We are from Montana and had Paul and Tammy travel to us and they could not have been better! They made our whole experience so easy and relaxing! BEST photographers ever!

One of the best decisions that we made for our wedding was choosing Red Door as our photographer. Not only did they do a great job and provide us with amazing memories to last a lifetime, they were fun and helped us through or big day with a lot of laughs. We love our engagement photos and all of the moments that were captured on our big day. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Paul and Tammy were great to work with. They kept both the engagement session and day of running smoothly and stayed to get all the pictures we wanted. Pictures were actually fun and turned out great! Would HIGHLY recommend them for your big day! :)

Absolutely love Paul and Tammy! Would recommend them to anyone! They really take the time to get to know you and are so on top of things they made our life so much easier on our wedding day having everything laid our!! Can't wait to do more work with them! :)

Red door photography did an awesome job capturing our wedding day! They provided us with more pictures than we could ever imagine and it was difficult to pick out our favorites. They did an awesome job communicating with us throughout the whole planning process and the day of the wedding. They also did an amazing job at keeping the pictures moving, on schedule, and getting the pictures we wanted. I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married!

Aside from the beautiful photos, the whole experience was amazing. Paul and Tammy are simply amazing people! they kept us on schedule and were a blast to hang out with all day! There's a reason they've been so highly rated for so long, and we're glad we read reviews, picked them, and that they were just as Big a part of our day as anyone! Thanks Paul and Tammy!!!

Paul and Tammy are simply AMAZING to work with. They make any couple feel like they are one of a kind. It was a balmy 97 degrees on our wedding day. No matter how hot it was they made it easy and enjoyable to take pictures... and they look incredible. Hands down picking Red Door was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding!

First off, Paul and Tammy are AMAZING!! They are seriously everything we could have asked for. We are from the Cedar Rapids area and they drove from Des Moines to capture our engagement pictures and our wedding. And I have to say, there wasn't a picture I didn't like. They are such a fun duo to work with and will do anything you ask them to do. I can't express enough my gratitude to them. Every little smirk or happy moment during our wedding and engagement session was captured in a photograph. They also get your proofs back to you very quick. We had our wedding proofs back in 2 weeks. Lastly, my favorite part about their work is the highlight video they send along with music of your engagement and wedding. I will forever hold those videos close to my heart. If I could give 1000 star rating I definitely would!

Paul & Tammy went above and beyond for my husband and I on not only our engagement session, but our destination wedding. They incorporated all of our wishes with some new, fun ideas of their own and made our whole year something amazing to remember! We traveled 2 hours in order to have them photograph us, and it was worth every penny. They offer reasonable packages, and like I mentioned, even travel with you if that's what your heart desires! I have and will continue to recommend Red Door Photo & Design over and over again. We couldn't be happier with the quality of their services!

Tammy and Paul are absolute rockstars. From our engagement photos to the wedding day, they made everything so easy. Cannot recommend them enough.

If we could give Paul and Tammy more than 5 stars, we would. They were phenomenal from start to finish, from our first meeting, to the engagement session, and then finally, our wedding day. We were completely at ease the entire time, they are lightening fast (which is awesome if you don't love getting your picture taken) and they are just the most professional, experienced team when it comes to getting the job done and managing a lot of family members. Paul helped my husband with his tie, and Tammy made sure I had everything in the right place. They really were experts on all the logistics and intricacies of weddings and made the day so relaxing and FUN! We couldn't be more pleased with Red Door.

A+++++ Let me just start by saying if picking a wedding photographer had been up to me, I would have gone with whoever was cheapest. I'm VERY glad my wife made the executive decision to go with Paul and Tammy. It's easy to look at their pictures and see they do great work, but what impressed me the most about them wasn't their pictures (which turned out great btw). It was how much smoother and organized our day was because of them. Yeah they were our photographers, but I felt like we had two very experienced coaches/ wedding planners making sure everything was going as planned and everyone was having fun. They were a huge part of our day and it definitely wouldn't have been the same without them. Also, get the slide show at the reception, you won't regret it. We got tons of compliments about it and it was definitely one of my favorite parts of the reception. Keep in mind this is coming from someone whose biggest goal going into this thing was get married for as cheap as possible. Thanks Paul and Tammy you guys are awesome!!

Looking for the perfect wedding photographers? Stop looking, because you have just found them! Paul and Tammy are a husband and wife duo (yes, TWO photographers) who have the experience and skill that result in the most beautiful wedding photos ever! They are so much fun to work with, we could not be more blessed to have found them for our wedding day! Years from now, we have so many treasured moments they have captured to look back on and remember our day. The are so much fun to work with, and very timely and prompt with any questions you could have. I promise, you will not be disappointed. They are the best!!

Info could give a million stars I would! Paul and Tammy are amazing to work with! They make photos so much fun and they have the best ideas and are so patient!! We had a very unique atmosphere for our wedding and they some how made a HOCKEY WEDDING beautiful and classy!! Photos were/are amazing! I'd suggest them to anyone anytime!! Thanks for making our wedding so incredible!! Your photos line our walls and I love them!!!

Paul and Tammy are great! I've had people come up to me after the wedding saying how much fun they were to be around and how great the pictures look, I would recommend them for any/all photo needs, especially on your special day!

A year later and we can look back at the photo's from Red Door and still feel the excitement and love from our wedding day. Paul & Tammy are the best.

Paul & Tammy are the best, thank you for capturing our wedding in such an amazing fashion!

Red Door treated us to the best experience you could ask for from a wedding photographer. The ability they have to capture moments is beyond amazing. One glance from a picture instantly transports you into that moment again. They have great ideas for new and unique pictures and poses that you won't see anywhere else. You don't have to worry about other people having a similar looking photo to you. Paul & Tammy are simply the best. To say that they are the best in Des Moines would not be giving them enough credit. Thank you for the great work and lifetime memories!

Paul and Tammy are the absolute BEST in the business! They are so much fun to work with and captured our wedding day so perfectly. They do amazing and unique work, and they truly care about their clients. Our family and friends loved them and I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you both for capturing our special day!

My husband and I were looking for a duo that was fun, easy-going, timely, professional, and most importantly - made us feel comfortable. You'll get all that plus much more with Paul and Tammy!! After our first meeting with them, you could tell they love what they do and have fun doing it - and that is exactly what we wanted our wedding experience to be! Fun! And they make the whole process so easy. They work with you to create a schedule for your day and actually stick to it. Absolutely everything went so smoothly and we got everything we asked for plus so much more! One thing both my husband and I appreciated the most was their ability to keep things moving. While we wanted plenty of wonderful pictures, we didn't want to feel like that's all we did the entire day - and we didn't! I contribute this to their ability to work together so well, their level of organization, and of course to experience. And it's fine if you don't have a lot of ideas for which pictures to take because they do! You're never left standing there while they wait for you to suggest something (but of course they are open to any suggestions you may have!). Also, having two photographers is the best decision we could have made. It allows you to get shots from both ends of the aisle, if you do a first look you can get pictures of each person's facial expressions, and then of course the different perspective of having two people's pictures versus just one. After booking Paul and Tammy, I never once worried about the photography aspect of our wedding. The only problem I was left with when everything was said and done was how to choose among the hundreds of beautiful pictures they gave us - and that is a problem I'll take any day! The quality of the pictures are very high and they captured so many moments I didn't think could be captured on film. You will not be disappointed if you book Paul and Tammy to photograph your wedding!!

Fabulous. A wonderful couple that compliments each other's work. While Paul took all the major shots in the church and at the ceremony, Tammy took the special moments that we missed. They have so much experience with weddings, they were more than just photographers. They helped our flower girl stay calm and be adorable as well as helped keep the pins in my hair and keep me calm. My husband an I were married in January in Iowa. We prayed for a winter wedding and we received a blizzard! It was beautiful and Paul and Tammy never once stopped smiling and being wonderfully supportive in the cold, wet, damp outdoors. They were more than just troopers, I believe they have to love their jobs a lot to do what they do so well. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. Plus, the book we received only a few months after the big day is incredible and people pick it up and flip through it every time they visit us. It is professional and elegant.

Paul and Tammy were great! They were very organized and fun to work with. They have done over 400 weddings and it shows! They had me fill out a survey about which pictures I wanted to make sure they captured everything and made a timeline for the day! The timeline was especially helpful to let everyone know when/where they were needed for pictures. They were great with our wedding party shots as well. They had lots of fun ideas for pictures and were so creative! I would HIGHLY recommend them!

Paul and Tammy are AMAZING to work with - so much fun and very professional. Our photographs turned out even better than I imagined they would!

We LOVED working with Red Door for our photos! Paul and Tammy are super helpful, friendly, and engaging! I've been in several friends' weddings and I know our photographers were the best of the bunch! At our engagement session as well as our wedding day, they kept things moving and made the whole thing a ton of fun! Our entire bridal party had a great time with them and commented how fun the experience was. Less than two weeks after our December wedding, we had our proofs. I have been absolutely floored at all of the great moments they captured and how well the photographs tell the story of our day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them!

We absolutely LOVED Having Red Door Photography help make our special day even more memorable. Paul and Tammy are amazing people who sit down and make sure that you are getting everything that you could want out of your wedding photos. My husband and I has a nearly 2 year engagement so we had ltos of time to come up with and decide on vendors and Red Door was our absolute first choice. Our engagement session was beautiful and even though we had the unfortunate luck of having rainy weather throughout our photo shoot, Paul did an excellent job of working with us between the spotty rain clouds, and the pictures were OUTSTANDING thanks to Tammy.They always made us feel completely comfortable during the whole process and even helped out with last minute issues before the ceremony took place. They were also extremely accommodating with our request to have pictures both before and after our ceremony. Paul was amazing in capturing gorgeous shots and had some fun playful photo ideas that the bridal party really enjoyed. Their pictures came out incredibly beautiful and everyone LOVED our "day of" pictures that were shown during our reception. I am SO glad that we went through this company and will definitely recommend them to anyone I know looking for a professional photographer and I personally will continue to use them with any moments in life I wish to be captured :)

We hit the JACKPOT with Red Door! Paul and Tammy are wonderful to work with and SO talented!!! My fiancé and I both adore our engagement photos and can’t wait for our wedding! Getting married out of state (we live in Minnesota) hasn’t been the easiest process but I have absolutely NO problem making the 4 hour drive to see Paul and Tammy! They were super flexible with our schedules and made us feel really comfortable in the Des Moines area that we were not familiar with. Paul took us to a bunch of different locations that were all fun and different from anything that we had seen before. He’s quick on his feet and has tons of ideas for poses and angles that we had a blast with! Tammy is AMAZING at editing!! The photos are absolutely stunning! The amount of time, energy and attention to detail that goes into each and every picture blows my mind. You can tell that they both really love what they do and take pride in their work. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this company! After having such an amazing experience with Red Door I can’t imagine working with anyone else to have professional pictures taken. Distance doesn’t matter to us, we would hop on a plane or a boat and travel hundreds or thousands of miles to work with Paul and Tammy again. :)

When planning our wedding we were overwhelmed with the multitude of options for every element of the wedding. After comparing several photographers, we were impressed by the quality, friendliness, and value of Red Door Photo and Design and we were lucky that our date was available! We had the chance to meet with Paul and Tammy several times before the wedding. Each time they expressed their interest in learning what we wanted from our engagement and wedding pictures, but they also shared their expert opinions so we could get the very best results. One of the great preparation tools that Paul and Tammy had us complete, was a questionnaire about our families and a timeline of events. It was nice for them to have an understanding of our plan for the day, and to understand some of our tricky family dynamics. The day of the wedding, the guys in the wedding party loved getting to work with Paul, and Tammy was a pleasure to have with the girls. They captured wonderful getting ready moments, and helped to keep us on schedule so we had enough time for the many complicated family pictures we had requested. My father, who openly expresses he hates having his picture taken, and didn't think photos should be more than 30 minutes TOTAL, was laughing and enjoying pictures because of how fun and organized Paul and Tammy are. We loved having both Paul and Tammy capturing pictures of the ceremony; one stationed at the front of the church, and one in the balcony. They were able to capture our first kiss, our exchanging of vows, and also lovely views of the whole sanctuary filled with our guests. Following the ceremony, we took some outdoor pictures around town and Paul rode the bus with the wedding party to take some fun candid pictures. At the reception, all the key moments were captured; the toasts, cake cutting, first dance, parent dances, and bouquet and garter toss. By the end of the night, Paul and Tammy felt like a part of our wedding party! Paul and Tammy are talented, organized, creative, friendly and caring; truly everything you want in a photographer. Red Door Photo and Design is simply THE BEST!

My husband and I decided to use Red Door Photo & Design after checking out their work from a few different bridal shows and the rest is history! Their work they bring to the bridal shows is exactly what you are going to get as one of their clients. We had just shy of a 2 year engagement, so it gave us plenty of time to find exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer that reflects us as a couple - fun, quirky, and not cookie cutter. This is exactly what you will get from Paul and Tammy from the start. Right from the start they are upfront with all the details, costs, scheduling and are great to communicate with. The most important thing we were looking for in a wedding photographer was a company that wouldn't charge an arm and a leg for going over the time allotted. My husband and I celebrated two different cultures -- both an american ceremony as well as a traditional Bengali Indian wedding which means we needed a company to be with us the ENTIRE day (and they kept trucking with us the whole day... Paul and Tammy are champs!!) I was so happy that they were genuinely excited to try something they had never done before. And by our photos they look like absolute pros! If there is anything worth spending the money on during your wedding (besides the vendor) its your wedding photos as this is how you will remember one of the most important days of your life. I highly recommend Paul and Tammy and I couldn't be more proud to be a Red Door Photo & Design bride!

We loved Tammy and Paul. They were so fun and easy to work with. The wedding slideshow that they played for the guests at the reception was incredible. We had guests come up to as ALL NIGHT and continually rave about the pictures and how cool it was to have an insight to our day. All of our photos and products we have ordered are amazing and I would highly recommend them!

After loving our engagement photos from Red Door, we choose them as our wedding photographers as well. We absolutely love the quality of the pictures, but we also loved having both Paul and Tammy shooting throughout the event to give us different perspectives. You can tell that they have a lot of pride in their work and that they love what they do. We highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a photographer for any occasion!

I first met Tammy at the hyvee bridal show in DesMoines. Right away I was drawn in by the quality work that they had on display. Right away when I approached the Red Door Photo and Design stand, I was greeted by a bubbly woman with a lot of personality. So right away I knew they where the ones. But since I was at a vendor show I just listened to what she had to say grabbed a brochure and went on my way. When I got home I had a lot of thinking to do. Being only 20 years old at the time, everything was very overwhleming. So I got to work, researching and looking at all the business cards and fliers I collected at the bridal show. I also looked online and joined the knot and got the knot magazine. And when I was on the knot website I saw that Red Door was voted Iowa's #1 for wedding photographers. Thats when it hit me, I NEEDED Red Door to photograph amd capture my wedding day! So I looked into their website and found out it was VERY user friendly. So I looked at their prices and packages. At the time I was very shocked at the prices of their service. But I still begged and begged my husband to be to get the best photographers for our wedding. Finally he gave in. We got an engagement session and wedding day package that also came with a quality photo book. So I made an appointment online and they emailed me that day saying they cant wait to see us. So the day was getting closer to the engagement session, but we ended up having a freak snow storm and had to reschedule twice and did it thru txt which is way easier than goin through email all the time. So the time came that we finally got to take our engagement photos. We told them what kind of scenery we wanted and they picked where to go since I had no clue. When we first got to taking photos, my fiance and I where so awkward and didnt really know how to pose. But paul really knew how to help us in getting the best photo possible. Fast forward to the wedding day. They got everything in photograph and more! They got there and shot everything from beginning to end from the family photos to the crazy dancing and all the little details in between. And they traveled for us. This husband / wife duo is the best hands down! They deliver an experience like no other photographer could do.

WEDDING DATE: 5/30/2014---- If you are looking for great images that capture who you are individually and as a couple - Paul & Tammy with Red Door are definitely the photographers for you! After an attempt to use a "cheaper" photographer - we were not happy with the engagement images and knew it was more important to cut the budget in another area and NOT the photography as these images last a lifetime (as a professional events manager - I should have known better). Having worked with Red Door before and knowing the wonderful work they produce, we knew this was the perfect fit. Our engagement photos are breathtakingly beautiful...which made us even more excited for our Big Day and the images they would capture. Of course, we had ideas-examples from Pinterest, etc...that we shared, but Paul & Tammy know what they are doing - let them do their thing and work their magic! The Big Day proved to be challenging as it was HOT outside for May. They helped us work our way through downtown taking photos in an efficient manner while having fun with our entire wedding party. The images turned out incredible. We have the wonderful mix of fun and formal. They captured the spirit of all our guests. All 909 images tell the perfect story of our day from start to finish. Five months later I still find myself flipping through our wedding day photos with a smile - they are truly amazing and we could not have had a better photographing team. Paul & Tammy will quickly become part of your family - our family still talks about how great they were! Don't hesitate in booking Red Door - you won't regret it!

Paul and Tammy were phenomenal!!! The experience taking the pictures was very fun and they know exactly what lighting and backgrounds will look great. For family pictures at the wedding I was amazing how fast we were able to take the pictures and how well they turned out. In fact, one of our friends got married two months before us and made a comment that Paul and Tammy were so great and fun to be around and really knew what they were doing. My friend said they wish they had hired Red Door. Prior to the wedding, I was provided with a very detailed outline of pictures for the wedding day and was able to provide this to friends and family, which was greatly appreciated. Tammy and Paul were very fun to have around and the quality of their pictures was amazing and second to none! We will definetly have them do our baby and family pictures when the time comes!

Red Door Photo and Design was the perfect decision for our wedding photos. Tammy and Paul are awesome to work with, down to earth but still very professional. Our pictures were amazing and the moments they captured were priceless. Engagement and wedding photos were very high on my list and I am 100% pleased with the experience and products we received working with Red Door. I have recommended them to many engaged couples already and they too have been very pleased!

We used Red Door for our wedding in June. Paul and Tammy were great. They were both so easy to work with and the pictures turned out gorgeous. I hardly even noticed them following me around throughout the evening, but when we got the pictures back there were some I didn't even know they had taken. They caught some special moments between my dad and I before walking down the aisle that I know meant a lot to both of us. They also got some great pictures of the decor that I had spent a year planning but hardly had time to enjoy the day of the wedding; it was nice to be able to see and remember it later. It took them less than a month to get a CD of our pictures to us, which was amazing. I would recommend Red Door Photo to anyone looking for great pictures at a good price!

I LOVED working with Red Door!! They were awesome. So much fun and very creative. I'm a scrapbooker so pictures are a big deal. I didn't want boring traditional photos. They are very creative and really listened to what I wanted. I loved that we got so many pictures of our guests. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They do a lot of events but really make you feel like yours is special. Loved them!!

Paul and Tammy are absolutely wonderful to work with. From the begining they worked with us to understand what we were looking for in our wedding and pictures. For two people who don't like to have our pictures taken, we ended up with some very good pictures for our engagement and wedding photos. We had a fun theme for the wedding and we wanted to have some serious/traditional and fun/different types of pictures as well. They included the props that we had (signs that read Here Comes the Bride and a movie clapper) to get some cute pictures. They did a great job of including all of our family wedding party in the pictures. We had 6 young kids involved in the wedding ceremony and Paul and Tammy were able to get them to smile in the pictures and look good. They were with us the entire day and captured photos from getting ready to the last dance and a picture with sparklers. They got wonderful pictures of the decorations, reception hall, center pieces, ice cream sundae bar and all of our guests. I wasn't able to fully enjoy all of these small items during the day and it was great to be able to see them in the pictures. They did a great job in showing us the pictures and helping us narrow down the good pictures for our album. Tammy does a wonderful job with the layout of the picutres and getting the album to flow just right. We will be calling them for any future family photo sessions that we need. Dave and Lisa

Paul and Tammy are wonderful. Not only are the wonderful photographers but they both have a fun upbeat spirit! We will absolutely do all our photo sessions with them in the future.

Paul and Tammy are the absolute best to work with!! We couldn't imagine another photographer who would have been as much of blast to work with and got all the shots we wanted. We were so comfortable with them right away we didn't even bother going to meet with anyone else. By far the best experience with our vendors!

Paul and Tammy made our day perfect! They made us feel very comfortable and our pictures turned out perfectly!

When I first started searching for a photographer, I was completely overwhelmed by the number of "photographers" I came across at the bridal show. I very carefully chose Red Door for our wedding and could not have been happier with that decision. Paul and Tammy are so great to work with. Not only are they outgoing and a lot of fun, they are also very organized, professional, and attentive to your requests and needs. Leading up to the wedding, they always answered questions in a timely fashion and were very easy to communicate with. On the wedding day, they did so much more than simply capture special moments through their photos. They also helped everyone in the wedding party feel very comfortable and enjoy themselves, which made the hours of photos leading up to the wedding much more bearable for friends/family. Both the engagement and wedding photos were fabulous. These two are very talented at what they do. I plan to use Red Door again in the future and would definitely recommend Red Door to other brides!

Professional, classy, fun! My husband and I decided to use Red Door the first time we saw them at a bridal show! Their work is eye catching and professional. Being engaged for two years gave us plenty of time to make a wise choice and we were so glad we did. They were incredibly clear on their pricing and scheduling, never adjusting their pricing in the two years we worked with them. In the wedding business, that is not only refreshing, but difficult to accomplish. Also, their communication thorough was but not invasive. What these stars can't share are the great memories I have on my wedding day that include both Tammy and Paul. From laughing together on the steps of the church, to helping me adjust my viel and whispering the delicate steps to cake cutting while two hundred people watched, they were an intrigral part of our special day. Since our wedding, they shipped our photos free of charge to our new home halfway across the country. Our canvas hangs on our wall, and our photos could not tell the story of our wedding in any better way. Tammy and Paul are talented, professional, fun and flexible. I dealt with several vendors, an overwhelming number of details, and a focused budget. If there is anything to spend the money on, it is the things that last. Our photos are priceless and I am so happy we went with Red Door.

Paul & Tammy were fantastic to work with! They not only took gorgeous pictures, but they helped us out so much throughout the day. We feel like they were really able to capture the essence of "us" and our pictures show how much we really enjoyed our day. We're so happy with our pictures!

Paul and Tammy are the BEST photographers around!! We couldn't be happier with our photos. Being a huge scrapbooker, pictures mean A LOT to me. They surpassed our expectations. They are willing to work with what you want and take it above and beyond. The turn over time was really fast and it's nice that we didn't have to wait months to get them. I would hire them all over again and will forsure use them in the future for babies and family pictures down the road.

Paul & Tammy are fun to work with they are spunky, hilarious, professional, easy-going, and hard working. They have a natural eye at capturing the moments you easily forget when your big day flies by. They made us feel so confident with our decision in picking them to do our engagement session and wedding. After reviewing our photos we, again were so happy we chose them! Not once did we ever have doubts with them. They provided us with a timeline very detailed as to who needs to be in the pictures and at what time and location. This made it very easy to send to family members and the bridal party so everyone knew what was going on. They are by far the best vendor we chose! They are easy to work with and fun to be around. You will never go wrong with these two photographers their price is amazing just as their pictures! The turn times are spectacular you don't have to wait months and months to get your photos back. We will be using them in the future for our kiddos! I could easily stay in contact with them just because their personalities are so great. Easily the best decision we made during the wedding planning process was picking Red Door Photo and Design to be our photographers.

I had my first experience with Paul and Tammy during my sister's wedding where I was a bridesmaid. They did a great job at keeping everyone comfortable, smiling, and keeping things moving. We (my husband and I) were kind of starting to plan our wedding, and I knew that no matter what, I wanted Red Door as our photographers. So fastforward a few months, and we discovered that they had our wanted day free, so we booked them. I am pretty sure this was our first wedding booking, before the venue even. We did our Engagement photos on Oct. 1st of last year, in the downtown Des Moines area, Paul was the only one there for our engagement session, and he did such a great job, even got some great ones of our son (which if you have a toddler, you know how hard it is to get great photos of them, as they are always moving). May 4th was our big day. Again, Paul and Tammy did a great job of keeping things comfortable (even in the cold rainy weather) and keeping things moving (even with us forgetting a few things). we had a rather cold rainy day for our wedding, and when we were going to do our location photos, Paul was even nice enough to help make sure I got into the car without getting my gown dirty. During the reception, they got so many great photos, and half the time, I didn't even realize they were there. I don't think we could have chosen anyone better to capture our wedding.

They were excellent! So much fun...and great photos!

I absolutely love Paul and Tammy!! I first met them when I did my senior pictures with them! I was a little nervous because I didn't know them but the moment I walked in the door, their bubbly personalities/smiles made my nerves at ease! I was able to be myself around them and they are so good at that! It was hard to not smile :) My senior pictures turned out amazing!!! Loved the quality, variety, and editing! They always have the BEST places to go! (You can choose places too) We went downtown as one of mine! I loved them so much I had to have them do my Wedding and engagement photos! My favorite thing about them is that they draw your personality out and make u feel so at ease, and just have fun! Ben and I had the time of our lives and they captured those moments which is why they are so great! You can also tell they know Jesus by the way they live their lives and the joy that is rooted in their hearts ♥ I loved knowi g that I didn't have to stress at all how my wedding pics would turn out!!! :) and they truly were a dream come true! Paul and Tammy are so easy to become great friends with/feel like ypu have known them forever!! Seriously choose them for your wedding!!!! They are the most fun people to work with and u will be begging them to do ur pictures for the rest of lifes events :) that's what we are doing! :)

Paul and Tammy were awesome to work with. They are professional and very relaxed. They made our experience very comfortable and enjoyable. Our pictures turned out amazing and I have been having issues minimizing my favorites down to just a few. The photos I have ordered from them turned out perfect and look great on our walls.

What a great experience. Friendly professional and very easy to work with. We high recommend them if you want the best photographers. Very organized which makes for worry free for the planning. We love our engagements and wedding pictures.

Melissa & Jason Buck

Everyone involved was excited about the photographers. They were quick, they had great ideas and their pictures turned out to be amazing! They were also very flexible when we had to reschedule our engagement pictures. A very fun and talented couple.

Paul and Tammy did our engagement pics and our wedding pics.... They are the easiest people to work with and are very fast paced- which in our case with a 20+ wedding party was critical! They are funny and kind people and we hope to work with them again in the near future! Shelly & Richard Randle

Paul & Tammy were really fun to work with and make pictures as painless as possible, especially for the ones who hate to get their photos taken! They listen to exactly what you want and also have suggestions for you if your not sure. I liked that you got a lot for what you paid for and they are very fast and efficient with good quality photos.

Red Door Photography was fantastic. Paul and Tammy are a blast to work with and take amazing pictures.

I want to start off by giving a big thanks to two wonderful photographers. Paul and Tammy not only did an amazing job capturing our special day but they were a delight to work with. They truly made our day special with their flexible schedule, positive attitudes and amazing talent. On the big day they were always on time with our crazy schedule and made everything so simple. We had a really tight photography schedule but it wasn't even an issue at all for them. They captured every photo we wanted and were so quick to have everything ready for us after the wedding. I think I was so amazed after looking at our photos that they were not only able to catch wonderful photos of wedding party/family but they also captured wonderful photos of our guests. It was great to look back at photos and see everyone having a good time. For those of you contemplating photographers please please please listen to a recent bride's feedback because Red Door Photo and Design will make your big day stress free and as perfect as you can imagine :)

Paul and Tammy with Red Door Photo and Design were absolutly amazing! They were very professional and a lot of fun to work with. Their prices are extremely reasonable / affordable and they produced very high quality images. Our entire wedding party, family and guest had so much fun with them! We recieved our wedding photos proofs back in less than 4 weeks. I would highly recommend them for any wedding. I plan on using them again in the future!

Paul & Tammy are great to work with. We haven't recieved our wedding photos back yet, but our engagement photos were great! They are easy to work with & fast! They don't spend tons of time on posing everyone.

Paul and Tammy are so easy and fun to work with. They really put me at ease on my special day.
