I have nothing but praise for my experience as a wedding photographer at Kim and Wilks Wilkins' stunning wedding. West End Architectural Salvage in downtown Des Moines Iowa was a magical setting for their vintage wedding, with its beautiful decor, lighting, and ambience.

You may know West End Salvage as a vintage store in Downtown Des Moines. Located off 9th Street in a beautiful four story brick building, you can spot some amazing finds for your home. They showcase antiques and salvaged goods from all over the world. From decor to furniture and more, they have it all. What most people don't know is you can host your wedding here! They can accommodate up to 150 seated guests, and parties of 250+. My favorite area is their breathtaking chandelier room used for your dance floor. This gorgeous photos of Kim and Wilks first dance will forever live in my heart as one of the most epic first dances of all time.

They do have a bar and include their in house employees as bartenders to serve your guests as well as providing tables and chairs. Their ceremony took place in the main room, using the first landing of the stairs as their stage. With the soft afternoon light shining through the stained glass windows while they exchanged their vows, it was the perfect place for them to celebrate their love for one another.
