Liv Frueh Photography

5.0

Ames, IA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

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!

I have loved the concept of photography and taking still shots since I was in elementary school when I got my first camera from Santa. Each year after that, he brought me a new one until my senior year. I ventured over to Best Buy and bought my first DSLR. At that point, I had no clients or any intention of making money from my work. Fast forward some (several) years, I’m an attorney and I only do a few shoots a year, but I am focused on growing my business, especially now that we have moved to the DSM area. I look forward to capturing whatever you may be looking for.

My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Jason Snorlax Photography

Norwalk, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Ames, 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 the best! My husband and I would not have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. He did our engagement and wedding photos and our photos came out incredible! Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Hey friends! My name is Elizabeth and I’m a midwest photographer for the free-spirited. I call Iowa my home, but I’m always up for an adventure. My passion is capturing raw & organic moments to remember for a lifetime. I love being able to show your story by taking candid photos while being authentically you. Everything from the excited tears before the “I do”, to the laughter during toasts, my images bring back these memories for a lifetime. I’m a lover of life and people, and these two combinations make the most amazing pictures.

Liz did a first time maternity shoot with me and her photos had me in tears! She took the time to do some research before the session and that helped a lot for someone who hates having pictures taken of her! Very professional and I can’t wait to book her again :)

We originally booked Rachel to take our engagement photos as we were to be married in Hawaii. The pandemic had other plans, so we shifted the wedding back to Iowa. Rachel bent over backwards for us and was able to be at the wedding and she took the most beautiful photographs. She is kind, funny, and makes you feel instantly relaxed- which results in some killer candid photos!. I can’t say enough good things about her!!
