I’m excited to share a little bit about the Samaniego wedding at the stunning Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines, Iowa. From the beautiful blooms by Bella Flora to the awesome tunes by DJ DAS, this wedding was packed with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

The Venue: Glen Oaks Country Club

Glen Oaks Country Club was the perfect setting for Laura and Jesse’s big day. The venue’s elegant architecture and lush gardens made it feel like a fairy tale. The weather played nice, giving us perfect lighting for some amazing shots.

Gorgeous Florals + Design by Bella Flora

Bella Flora outdid themselves with the flowers + design. Every bouquet and centerpiece was like a work of art. The mix of vibrant blooms and lush greenery added a pop of color and a touch of elegance to the entire day. They truly made every moment picture-perfect.

Capturing the Magic: Videography by 12OneProductions

Big shoutout to Donovan from 12OneProductions for capturing the day on video. He was like a ninja with his camera, getting all the candid moments without anyone noticing. It was great working alongside him to make sure every special moment was documented.

Rocking the Reception: Music by DJ DAS

Dennis from DJ DAS brought the party to life! His music selection was on point, and he kept everyone dancing all night long. The energy was electric, and the dance floor was packed, making for some fantastic photo ops that captured the joy and excitement of the night.

Beauty Squad: Hair and Makeup

Whitney Allie at Salon Arrow and Sharla with Vanity Glamor did an amazing job on hair and makeup. They made sure Laura and her bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning. Their talent and professionalism shone through in every look, making our job of capturing beautiful photos even easier.

A Vintage Touch: The Classic Car

One of the coolest details of the day was the vintage car, borrowed from Glen, a friend Laura met at a car show just the weekend before the wedding. This classic car added a unique and personal touch to the photos, making the day even more special.
