    Wonderful!

    Sam was wonderful to work with! He made us feel comfortable the entire time even though my husband and I can be a little awkward posing for photos.

    10/10 Would Recommend

    If you're thinking about booking Sam for your wedding, look no further! Sam was absolutely fantastic to work with. My now husband and I had booked Sam to shoot our traditional wedding. However, we decided to cancel it and elope in the Garden of the Gods instead. Sam saved us the stress of finding a new photographer and was willing to travel to capture our big day - the resulting photos are stunning. Thanks again Sam!

    Two Hoyles is incredible!

    Two Hoyles is incredible! They have 40+ 5-star reviews in every category, and we 100% agree. Sam was easy to get ahold of and quick to respond to anything we needed. He was flexible with locations and timing and just made everything super easy. Sam is an absolute pro with everything the day of the wedding. Everything went so smooth. He got along great with our wedding party and family. He made them feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera which really came through in our pictures.

    We LOVE our engagement and wedding photos! Sam has an incredible eye for grabbing artistic and fun shots, but also nailed it with all the traditional first look, first dance, and family photos. He listened to what we wanted, and also brought some great suggestions for poses and photos. I cannot recommend Two Hoyles enough!!

    Two Hoyles Photography's reply:

    That was really kind and means a lot. Thank you, Charlie. It was great getting to know you both, and your friends and family.

    Magical Day/Evening captured by TwoHoyles Photography

    TwoHoyle's out did themselves in capturing our wedding day. From start finish it was a effortless from our side and so much fun. The photos tell the story of the day in such a creative and fabulous way! We even went out on the lake and they used their drone for some fantastic shots! They were very easy to work with and flexible when rescheduling from 2020-2021. He followed my shot list to a T and their creativity showed in other ways. Two Hoyle's was a joy to work with and we are forever grateful for their creativity in curating our wedding photos! I would recommend them to a friend or any couple getting married.

    Two Hoyles Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Anne! It was such a memorial day that perfectly reflected your style and love for each other. Thanks for allowing me to be there to capture it! — Sam

    Super happy with my photos

    We lost our original photography when we postponed our wedding in 2020. It turns out, that was for the best! We were lucky enough to book Sam for our new date and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He was great. He had to deal with some obnoxious people and some day-of curveballs, but all of our photos are beautiful and we received so many comments on how awesome our photographer was. Thanks, Sam!

    We can't thank Sam enough for the experience he provided to us as our photographer as well as for our beautiful photos! My husband and I were not exactly comfortable in front of the camera but Sam gave us the direction we needed to learn how to pose. He was patient and kind with us and our family even when they were distracted by everything else going on that day. We absolutely love our drone pictures from out in the Vineyard as well! We highly recommend Two Hoyles for your next event!

    Personal Friendly Amazing

    Sam did an amazing job shooting our wedding. He was very flexible and understanding with the unpredictable Covid environment we were all in. From the second we met Sam he felt like one of our family members. He is easy going and a joy to be around. Being a Bride and Groom on your wedding day you are pulled into a million directions, your stress level is high and your sense of time disappears. Sam kept us on track, provided guidance and used his creative skills to capture our special day. We loved working with Sam so much we hired him again for our large family photo session! We would highly recommend Sam to anyone 📸

    Two Hoyles Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Sarah! It was so great meeting and getting to know you, Josh and the rest of your clan. Cheers!

    We absolutely loved our photographer- he was so kind, patient and ran the day as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I also let him know of any shots I wanted to do beforehand and he remembered. Highly recommend his services!

    Happy happy happy!

    I cannot say enough about Sam! These are by far the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen of myself. Never in my wildest dreams did I think someone would be able to capture just how much I love my husband I’m still photos, & Sam nails it. EVERY. TIME. If you’re anywhere near Des Moines & don’t choose TwoHoylePhotography, you’re definitely doing yourself & your photos a disservice!

    The Best Photographer

    Do not hesitate to hire Sam! He is fantastic. My husband and I aren't the most photogenic but he knew all the tricks to make us look great in our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. We have gotten so many compliments on both sets of photos. Everything looks natural and polished and every picture brings us back to the day of the wedding. If you want great pictures and a photographer that feels like a part of your wedding party, Two Hoyles photography is a must hire. We had to move our wedding due to COVID and they were amazing and didn't hesitate with helping us find a new date.

    We are 100% satisfied with our engagement photo experience with Two Hoyles Photography! I’m not the type to like being in the spotlight in front of the camera, but Sam made the experience fun and easy going! We LOVE the end result of our images and are so thankful for such quality pictures to remember this time in our lives by! Thank you Two Hoyles Photography for the five star experience!!!!

    Amazingly talented wedding photographers!

    Two Hoyles did an incredible job with our engagement and wedding photos! Sam & Kaylie were very relaxed, professional, and fun to work with. Our wedding photos are so unique, they do a great job of capturing candid moments as well as portraits. They have an artistic eye for lighting and composition. Their photos are beautiful and timeless. We highly recommend this talented duo!

    September 2022 Wedding

    Sam was the absolute best to work with. All of our guests even raved about him! He made everyone feel so comfortable and I feel like I am able to relive our whole wedding looking through his pictures. He has such a great eye and our only trouble is deciding which ones to print!! He has always been very responsive, and although it wasn’t guaranteed he was able to get us an early sneak peak for many photos that we LOVED! We received all of our photos just over a month after the wedding! I can’t recommend him enough. We absolutely loved having him capture our day! He is amazing!!

    Amazing, fun & easy to work with, incredibly beautiful photos that truly capture moments!

    Kaylie and Sam took our engagement photos, as well as our wedding photos. We were truly impressed with their professionalism, their talent and their product! Words cannot express how grateful we are for their ability to capture us as a couple and the moments that we will cherish forever! We continue to receive compliments on our engagement & wedding photos and they are well deserved. These two made the awkward experience of taking engagement photos silly and fun! They were able to deal with our large families at the wedding and get us all through family photos! So easy to work with, flexible, and just a joy to be around! We would recommend to anyone and everyone!

    Trying to find the words to express how amazing these two are and how fantastic their photos are is hard, but I will try. From the time we met them to the end of our wedding day they were absolutely amazing. Their generosity, kindness and hilarious dad jokes (thanks Sam!) are more than we could have paid for. I remember seeing their photos for the first time, we were sold. And then we met them at this cute coffee shop in Des Moines for the first time and we were sold (no it wasn't just because of Sam's accent or the fact that my husband loved his love for soccer, okay maybe that was it). After this get-together we booked with them instantly. Honestly, our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without them. They bring so much more than amazing photos to the table. They have the best personalities and will truly make your day, one-of-a-kind. Thanks again Sam and Kaylie, and if you're looking into booking this amazing duo for your wedding, stop hesitating and just DO IT. :)

    Thank you for such a lovely note, Nicole. You and Drew make such a great couple and we had a blast at your idyllic wedding. We hope to see you both again soon!

    Amazing Photographers!

    Sam + Kaylie are the best! They are so laid back and helped us feel comfortable through all of the craziness of our special day! We receive so many compliments on our pictures, and it's all thanks to Two Hoyles Photography. They did such an incredible job capturing our engagement and wedding. We couldn't recommend them enough!!

    Two Hoyles Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Hanna! We loved getting to know you and TJ and are grateful to have had the opportunity to capture your day. We wish you the best for the future! Cheers!
