Hi there.

She spent time working on her personal fine art work for many years and in 2003 started her first wedding and portrait photography business in St. Louis, MO. Jill moved to Des Moines, IA in 2005 and has continued her wedding and portrait business along with her fine art photography.

Jill uses both medium format film cameras and digital formats to create her images. This is how the artist describes her work: “My work is a reflection of everyday life and places. I chose the medium of photography as a tool to capture the essence of the person or place. I create images to depict the subject as they are remembered in the mind. Not posed or unnatural, but as a window into the intimate world of the subject.” Jill Brown is a member of Professional Photographers of America.

A Dutch Wedding | Des Moines Wedding Photographer

Date: August 14, 2009
Ceremony: Scholte Church in Pella, Iowa
Reception: Pella Opera House

Pella is a beautiful community. When you take a drive down Main Street and then down Franklin, you think that you've stepped back in time. It is amazing.

Lyndsey and Jarryd's wedding was absolutely beautiful. The church was gorgeous with old wood floors, tall windows and historical from stoop to steeple. The day was full of love and laughter... including a little snicker throughout the crowd when everyone sat down on the old wooden folding chairs with a unified *squeak*. These are the things memories are made of...

I wish Lyndsey and Jarryd all of the best.

It was very hard to pick just a few of my favorites. My first attempt to narrow it down was just over fifty images. A bit much to put on a blog, don't you think? I did manage to narrow it down to these...
