Adventurer. Lover of nostalgia. Photo obsessed.
Hi! I’m Gracelin -a traveling wedding photographer based in Iowa with a heart for storytelling through honest, emotion-filled photos. I started Gracelin Photo Co. in 2020, and capturing love stories that feel real and alive has been my greatest joy ever since - the quiet glances, belly laughs, and fleeting moments that make your day uniquely yours.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me cooking something cozy, walking my goldendoodle Kobi, or spending time with my fiancé, Kyle. I’m also the communications director for my family business, Front Porch Goldens, where we raise golden retrievers and goldendoodles for families and therapy/service programs — ethical breeding and connecting dogs with their people is a huge passion of mine.

Some of my favorite adventures have taken me backpacking across Europe, exploring Alaska, and photographing in the Pacific Northwest — so if your love story takes you somewhere new, I’m always ready to pack my bags.

My photography approach is documentary-style, relaxed, and intentional. I’ll guide you when needed, but mostly, I let moments unfold naturally. I want your photos to feel like you — full of warmth, emotion, and the beauty found in real life.

Wedding photographer based in Iowa, but capturing the magic of love globally.
