    Exceeded our Wedding Photo Expectations

    Ivory + Bliss are absolutely incredible. From our first consultation, to our engagement photos, and now our wedding album - I am just blown away. Lindsay and Karlee are such a dynamic team, they truly are so fun to work with and are incredible at what they do. Karlee was our primary photographer, and let me tell you -- you don't need 2 photographers when you have a Karlee around. Karlee was the most amazing person the day of our wedding -- so kind, energetic, and she still ran a tight ship to make sure we got every shot imaginable. We received so many breathtaking photos from Karlee that I had such a hard time picking out photos for our house -- there were that many I wanted to cherish forever. I+B will be my first and only call for all photos for the rest of forever. For your wedding, invest in an amazing photographer and start with Lindsay and Karlee. You won't regret it.

    Photographer for LIFE

    I stumbled across Ivory + Bliss on Pinterest of all places, and was so happy to find that they were actually local to me. The amazing ladies at Ivory + Bliss made sure to help make my wedding day extra special. Kayley was our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos and can I just say, HEART EYE EMOJI, because wow. She is seriously amazing, I've already booked her for my maternity photos and I know that I will be using her as a photographer for as long as she will take us!

    Amazing, timeless photography

    When planning for our wedding, we knew photos were a top priority for my husband and I. After so much planning, the photos and videos are the only memories you are left with, so it was super important to us to trust someone fully with photographing our day. Entering… Ivory+Bliss! Where do I even begin! Kayley and Karlee (and Lindsay!) were incredible to work with for our November 2019 wedding. They are incredibly fun, passionate, professional, and creative people who made our wedding day photos a breeze (even when we were behind schedule!) I have been a long-time follower of Ivory+Bliss long before we got engaged and the second we did, I reached out to them because I knew I wanted them to photograph our wedding. Not only does Ivory+Bliss have an obvious amazing eye for photography, they are wonderful, genuine people to work with - it felt like hanging out with a friend the whole time! They made our entire wedding party extremely comfortable and it never felt like taking photos was a drag. I will (and have!) continue to recommend Ivory+Bliss to any brides that I know. They’re the best. Thank you!

    Amazing Photographers and Stunning, Timeless Photos

    Booking Ivory+Bliss as my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made in my entire wedding planning process! All of the girls at Ivory+Bliss are incredibly talented not only in their photography work, but also in their ability to make you feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. I specifically worked with Kayley for our engagement and wedding day, and I was SO impressed by her artistry, expertise, and competence. From the first time we met, I felt an immediate connection with her and loved how she made me feel in front of the camera. In the months leading up to our wedding, both Kayley and Lindsay went above and beyond their duties as a photographer and provided much needed advice on timeline development, wedding day details, and decor. On the day of our wedding, Kayley's humor and positive energy made her an instant hit with our friends and family. She was always cheerful and good-natured, but she was also efficient and knew exactly how to wrangle our massive and rowdy wedding party for photographs. The photos from our wedding day are stunning and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Kayley beautifully and artfully captured every detail of the day. The editing style of Ivory+Bliss is clean, bright, stunning, and timeless. We are so happy we chose Ivory+Bliss and we will cherish these photos forever!

    Where do I start?! The entire Ivory & Bliss crew (Lindsay - Karlee - Kayley) are next level amazing. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and maintain a sense of comfort and reliability throughout the entire wedding planning process. They continue to push for greatness for both personally and professionally. I'd HIGHLY recommend Ivory & Bliss. They are great!

    Capture the Day!

    Being a Wedding Coordinator and having a great working relationship with vendors is very important to me. This past weekend I had the honor of working with Kayley at a stunning venue and for an amazing couple! Kayley had so much energy and was such a pleasure to work with. I can't wait for the opportunity to work with Ivory & Bliss again.

    Lindsay is absolutely AMAZING with a camera! She did our engagement and wedding photos and we were just blown away! They are hanging all over my house! We will be going back to her for family, maternity, baby and all the above! Plus she has just the best personality and makes it so easy and effortless!

    Booking Lindsay for our photography and styling was by far the best decision we ever made. Not being from Iowa, I had no idea where to begin with planning my wedding. Lindsay listened to our budget and recommended the best vendors, we had a rock star team putting our wedding together. She was so helpful through the whole process and very quick with responding. I didn't have a lot of time to plan and I also do not have a vision for what is beautiful and Lindsey was not only patient with me but also had amazing ideas and put together our dream wedding. As amazing as she is as a stylist, she's an even better photographer. Her pictures are to die for and she is so quick on returning the images. I've had friends complain of having to wait months for their photos and we had ours within a week. My husband and I are neither one good in front of a camera but Lindsay made us feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Lindsay and her business for planning, styling, and photography!

    It was without a doubt the best decision of our wedding to use Lindsay Goedken of Ivory + Bliss as our wedding photographer and planner/stylist. Lindsay approaches everything she does with total professionalism. Her amazing creative talents were not only shown in our wedding photos, but also in the styling of our invitations and reception decor. She helped us connect with other vendors for our wedding day and followed up to ensure contracts were finalized, etc. After the wedding, Lindsay was extremely timely in sending us our wedding photos and the thank-yous she designed. I would HIGHLY recommend Ivory + Bliss to any couple seeking beautiful and timeless photography and wedding styling!

    Kayley, (Lindsay too)

    We are very grateful that you were a part of Madison & Mitch’s wedding day on June 24, 2017!

    Madison knew from the time she visited your site that she wanted Ivory & Bliss to capture their special day! Helped that Riley (Unique Events) referred you two as well! If you recall I was a little nervous signing the contract/writing a check for so much so far in advance….on 10/30/2016. We would do it AGAIN!

    Than you Kayley, for going above & beyond to make it a special event for Madison & Mitch! Starting with their engagement session that included Miss Macy & than spending their day with them capturing the beautiful moments/photos of their wedding day.

    They will cherish these photos forever, as will we!

    We will continue to share your name & Ivory & Bliss business with others!

    With Much Appreciation,
    Michele Olesen & Madison Wantock

    We cannot be more happy with our wedding and engagement photos. Lindsay is phenomenal at what she does and has a great team to help her. We plan to use her for other photography in the future. She can do it all, she helped us with our timeline and set the perfect times for the whole day.

    I cannot give LHP enough praise. Lindsay and Kayley were so flexible when having our initial meeting to go over details of the engagement session and wedding. Both their personalities are so bubbly and made all my anxiety go away. We had to reschedule our engagement session multiple times because of Iowa's lovely weather, but they were so flexible! We had the amazing Kayley come out to our home farm to get pictures that were unique to me and my soon-to-be hubby! Oh and did I mention she did was able to get these ah-mazing shots in the middle of a snow storm?? The pictures turned out way better than I would have ever dreamt of! I get compliments on how natural the pictures look and how gorgeous the lighting is all the time! I cannot wait until our wedding and see how beautiful the pictures will turn out based on our engagement pictures!

    We were so happy we booked Ivory+Bliss for our wedding this past September! Our pictures came out beautiful and Lindsey was so much fun to work with. She kept us all moving and organized to make sure we got the most coverage for the day. I also REALLY appreciated her bossing the groomsmen around and letting them know how to stand - like where to put their hands etc haha it's the little cues that make a big difference. Having Lindsey with us was like having another friend around - who is extremely talented and upbeat. You will not be disappointed!!

    I had the best experience with Ivory + Bliss! Everyone did such an amazing job at making us laugh, smile and pose so naturally! Lindsay would joke, jump, or dance- whatever it took to make you laugh :) it was a cold February wedding, the girls ventured outside with us for hours and took amazing pictures! I look at these pictures frequently, way more often that I ever thought I would! My advice for future couples: spend the money on your photographer- you will not regret it! And of course, Ivory + Bliss is my recommendation!!! I had a lot of questions during the planning process, Lindsay was so sweet and helped me! She was quick to respond- which is extremely helpful when you are planning a wedding!!! Thank you for being there to capture the best day of our lives :)

    I can't say enough about Lindsay and Lindsay Herbst Photography! We chose Lindsay Herbst Photography (LHP) for a number of reasons--Lindsay's talent being the primary reason, but also because LHP offered us the complete package (we not only chose to get our engagement and wedding pictures done with LHP, but also our Save the Dates, Wedding Invitations, and Thank Yous were created and printed by LHP!!) Our pictures were nothing short of STUNNING. The most striking thing about LHP is Lindsay (and the other LHP photographers) level of professionalism and ATTENTION TO DETAIL! Nothing--and I mean nothing--is overlooked. Lindsay has a way of capitalizing on natural light like no photographer I have ever seen--her pictures straight out of camera are incredible.
    I am admittedly a self-conscious person. It normally takes me hours to get a picture of myself that I approve of. Working with Lindsay--this "problem" just disappeared. During pictures she knew exactly how to direct us so that everything was effortless and FUN. Even my hubby (who despises picture-taking) had a BLAST. Our pictures truly showed how much fun we had- they came out looking natural and flawless.
    I could go on forever but the important thing is that Lindsay Herbst Photography delivered for us--we now have TONS of pictures that we will truly cherish forever. Every time I go through them all again (and again) it's like I am right back there, reliving the best day of me and my husband's life so far! Choosing Lindsay Herbst Photography was hands down the best wedding decision we made.

    Our services with Lindsay started about a year and a half ago, when my family wanted their first professional family session done. We were very nervous, awkward, and didn't really know what to expect. Lindsay made the shoot so fun, relaxed, and had everyone laughing their insecurities away. We got the photos back in a timely manner and they were AMAZING.

    Almost immediately after our engagement we contacted Lindsay about traveling to Breckenridge, Colorado for our engagement session. It literally felt like we were traveling with another friend, which she quickly became. The photos were everything we imagined them to me. Lindsay was willing to do whatever it took to get us the photos we wanted, even if it meant hiking through thigh-height snow or trying skiing for the first time in the rocky mountains! We just really can't thank her enough for what she went through for our photos. The session was a year ago and I still have people telling me how much they love my engagement pictures! Needless to say, we are obsessed with our photos too.

    Lindsay will obviously be our photographer for our wedding in September, but she is also helping stylize our wedding. I showed her what I wanted and she has gone above and beyond to finding exactly what it is. She has been such a huge help in keeping me on schedule (which is hard), remembering the smallest details, finding me the cheapest options, and so much more. Along with many other phone calls Lindsay has made for me, she literally called the wedding stylizer that did a wedding I loved on Pinterest to get some details for me as well. I am just amazed at what she is willing to do to make her clients happy. Yes, Lindsay's work is stunning. It's easy to see. However, I continue to hire Lindsay because of the awesome person she is. She's personable, considerate, genuine, FUN, and the list goes on. In my opinion, that is the kind of person you want to take part in your wedding day. I'm so excited and lucky to have booked LHP!

    Lindsay was so great to work with throughout our whole wedding process! We did our engagement photos, save the dates, wedding photos, and thank you's with her. We are so impressed with her work and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! Not only was Lindsay easy to work with, but she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We absolutely LOVE how our photos came out and can't wait to take more photos with Lindsay in the future!

    Where do we start? Lindsay is simply amazing!! She has been with my husband and I since our engagement photos (almost two years ago) and we have never been disappointed. Her talent and eye for photography is exceptional. Working with Lindsay has been an absolute blast, we can not wait to see where our life takes us so we can get more photos taken :)

    Every photo that she has taken has been special to us; the laughter and true love captured in each photo is brilliant. We have never heard anything but positive comments from family and friends in regards to our photos. Having Lindsay capture these moments for us, was one of the best decisions when planning our wedding.

    Thank you Lindsay for your hard work and dedication to allowing us to relive our special day each time we look at our photos. We are forever grateful for you and your hard work.

    I absolutely loved working with Lindsay for our engagement and wedding photos. She is extremely professional while still being fun and friendly. She made us feel comfortable and important. Even though it poured on our wedding day, she knew exactly what to do and kept me feeling calm. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! All of or friends and family are raving about them. You really can't go wrong. We got our pictures back quiclkly and were able to download ALL of them to our computer. Appropriately priced packages and well worth the cost. She's simply amazing!!

    We loved Lindsay! It was a weird afternoon and the sun wasn't out. We did not reschedule because we trusted her judgment! We went to Morgan Creek Park (her choice) and had a great time. We shot for a little while and then it started raining! :( After the rain passed we were able to find the prettiest light and got over 200 shots in like 30 minutes before it rained again! It took me months to decide on my favorites. She was really fun and made us feel comfortable. We will definitely use Lindsay for our future photos! Oh yeah, she made ordering prints and foam boards super easy too!

    Lindsay is a fabulous photographer!! We hadn't met Lindsay in person before our engagement session, but we instantly felt completely comfortable with her. Her fun spirit and sense of humor made us smile and laugh the whole time, and it truly shows in our pictures. The photos turned out so natural and gorgeous. We couldn't stop looking at them when we got them (VERY soon after our session)!! We got so many compliments on them as well-- two friends of mine saw one of our engagement pictures on Facebook, and said it looked so perfect they thought it was a professional ad! :) The light, airy feel of our pictures really brings out the happiness we felt during that special time in our lives. We will treasure these beautiful pictures forever!

    Lindsay is not only a great photographer, but a very sweet person as well. I am definitely planning to have Lindsay take pictures for us in the future!

    Don't look any further! You NEED Lindsay on your wedding day! I'm such a planner & she had me at ease on the big day. My husband was very nervous & I knew our pictures would look awkward until he relaxed, but she gave us such a relaxed, fun environment, that it was easy for him to smile!! She fit right in with our wedding party & everyone felt comfortable following her lead and paying attention (which can be hard with wedding parties!). We, along with our family, cannot stop looking at our photos!! I have recommended her to everyone I know! You will not regret having her capture the moments of your big day!!!

    We had Lindsay as our photographer and a 5 out of 5 does not even come close to how to rate her talent. She did our engagement and our wedding and I was beyond impressed with both. I was never a girl who dreamt about her wedding but when I got engaged I knew it had to be perfect and Lindsay knows how you make your wedding day perfect. Not only is she a talented photographer but she is a great person she will make you feel comfortable and beautiful. She kept us laughing the whole time which made for great pictures! She has a way of making you feel like you have known each other for years. I remember saying "I wish we could hang out after the wedding" she has such a fun personality and I am sure other Brides probably feel the same way!! Even though it has been months since my wedding I still look at my pictures at least once a week just to brighten up any day. Even though I am in no rush....I will without a doubt have her do my maternity pictures...someday :)

    Where do I even start?! We can't say enough great things about Lindsay!! Lindsay did not only our wedding pictures but also our engagement pictures, and we couldn't be happier! She did such an amazing job and we absolutely love looking back on our pictures from those days. She was wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions, and trust me, we had TONS of questions! It was such a wonderful experience and felt like you gained a wonderful friend along with the process! She made everything so comfortable and fun during our photography sessions! I would recommend her to anyone and am looking forward to going back to her again in the future!!
