There was a chance of rain all day on our wedding day and her presence was so calming, spinning it to a positive that the lighting was perfect for photos.

Haverlee Photography

5.0

Des Moines, IA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.

Awarded Best of Zola
Haverlee was the best decision we made for our wedding. She has such a calm and kind presence and truly wants to capture the emotions of the day. Looking at the pictures she took, I am put right back into the moment. She has an eye for the most beautiful, non-forced, shots. She was also so helpful with creating a timeline and making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. We loved our engagement and wedding pictures and cannot wait to see more!! I recommend her to everyone and hope to get to work with her again in the future!

She does a great job with coordinating the logistics of the timeline while capturing all of those special shots and moments. I wholeheartedly without a doubt recommend Laura for engagement and wedding photo's.

I married my best friend in 2019 on a cold April day in Iowa. It was 36 degrees and sleeting….and the ceremony was outdoors. It’s Iowa, what did we expect? We recently added a new tiny human to our family, Asher Grae. He’s the sweetest little buddy and we can’t imagine what life would be without him.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with P&L last year for a wedding in Des Moines, Iowa. I was the couple's photographer, and they handled videography, and though we only met the morning of the wedding, by the end of the day we had become such lovely friends. I have so many good things to say about their creative work (the video turned out stunning, and the rest of their portfolio is also gorgeous) and their presence (I have never had an easier time working with a videographer.) They had an uncommon knack for shifting between taking charge themselves and allowing me to direct the couple or their families, all the while exuding a sense of calm and control that put me, and I’m sure the couple, at ease. I often find that working with other vendors can be an intrusive or even combative process, where each is trying to vie to be the most important to the couple and which ultimately serves no one—the couple, me, or the vendor themselves— well. P&L are the antithesis of that. They are friendly, collaborative, and genuinely love their work, and it shows in how well they communicate and how much they dedicate themselves to the cause of documenting a couple’s big day in the best way possible.

I (Shauncey) have known Kasey and Tyler longer than I have known my husband - a crazy thought! Studio Twelve:52 has been my go-to pet photographer since I got my pugs. Fast-forward to our surprise engagement session - which Kasey and Tyler plotted the logistics with Cory - we knew we wanted to be sure they had availability on the weekend we selected for our wedding. Their portal makes connecting with them easy. And we really appreciated that they have a great experience, but are willing to go along with our vision - like taking pictures on a frozen lake! Kasey and Tyler are very genuine at the end of the day, regardless of photo session type - you can tell they love love, and that is absolutely reflected in their work.

Norwalk, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Des Moines, IA

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Hello my name is Olivia Frueh. I am a formally educated photographer who loves to capture your memorable milestones! I have found a love for my light and airy look that provides a more natural tone to my images.

Liv is absolutely amazing. We booked her for our engagement session and our wedding as well as a mini family session, and she did an incredible job. Her love/passion for photography is evident in her work. She not only stayed organized and reached out prior to our big day to sort out our timelines and plans, but during the reception she helped our night be enjoyable. Anytime she wasn’t visible it was because she was making sure to capture all of the best angles for some incredible candid shots by shooting high and low ️ (including getting in the floor if necessary ). Overall I’d recommend Liv into anyone looking for some natural and gorgeous images that is also willing to have an amazing and fun time! We will be booking Liv for any future photo shoots we may want or need! The price is worth it!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana was amazing! She did over and beyond what I was expecting. The engagement photos were gorgeous and she gave us alot of options. Communication was perfect and the day of she just jumped right in and we all came out with a new friend! My new family was impressed and loved her.

Susanna spent the entire day with us from getting ready, to the sparkler send-off. She was constantly on the move, getting the most perfect photos. She delivered our gallery super quickly, so we could share photos with friends and family. We LOVE our wedding photos and we are so glad that Susanna could capture one of the best days of our lives!

I call this our lucky day because — We were engaged early December. A few weeks later we decided we wanted to elope. To make the most romantic, intimate, promise of our lives - our whole lives. The next day I found Madison’s reel on Instagram offering free elopement coverage in return for paid travel. It was our lucky day! Working with Madison was a happy adventure! From the beginning she was kind and a clear communicator. In the 3 short months we had to plan, she was incredibly helpful! She really felt like a friend through the whole process! And the pictures!!! (insert crying emoji) They were so beautiful and captured what we wanted. She saw our vision!! We’re definitely going to use her for our reception next year. (insert heart emoji)

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling.

There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!
