I'm back. https://prestonkohlhaas.com

It's been just over two years since I filmed my "last" wedding and stepped aside from this business for an indefinite amount of time. A lot has happened since then, but I'm finally settled into my new location (West Des Moines, IA) and full-time job. With that, I feel confident that I’m now in the right position to bring this business back.

I’ve had a lot of time to think about the 6 years I spent doing this (2016-2022,) and all the things I would have changed if I could go back. Did you know, when I filmed my first wedding I was only 15? I had no idea it would turn into this, and being so young I wasn’t the best at handling the “business” side of things - the camera part came easy! That being said, I’m excited to implement some changes and provide a better overall experience for my clients.

If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced photographer/videographer, please let them know I’m back.

Life/Business Update:

For the past 5+ years, I've had the honor of working with many people from all over the state to capture some of the biggest moments in their lives. I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything. I'm forever grateful for finding my passion and skill within photography/videography at such a young age. It's granted me many opportunities that I can look back on and be proud of. However, as I've gotten further into college, it has become harder to commit such a large portion of my time to weddings and other commercial bookings. This spring, I will be finishing my double major in Agricultural Systems Technology and Industrial Technology along with a minor in General Business. Furthermore, this spring, I will also start pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering that will take (hopefully) just two more years. Because of this, I will no longer be booking weddings or other commercial work until I am at least out of college. I've had many people reach out to book weddings, but I'm sad to say this summer will be my last indefinitely. Although I love filming weddings and meeting people, I want to give Engineering my full attention while figuring out what's next in my career. I have three weddings booked for this summer, along with plans for taking summer classes. In the meantime, you can follow my Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/preston.xvp/ for more personal photography. Thank you again to all those who have hired me, supported me, and helped me do something I love for as long as I've been able to. I can't wait to see what my future in Engineering brings and hope to still find time for a wedding or two after college once I start my career!
