I’m Ashlee - owner of ap FILM & PHOTO and I’m so glad you found me! Based out of Cedar Rapids (born, raised and stayed) but I’m down to go anywhere our hearts desire. My photography style is joyous, candid and it looks moody and bright all at the same time. If that’s what you’re after - let’s get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
ap FILM & PHOTO was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, they were accommodating, direct, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made sure to understand our specific vision and preferences. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly captured all the special moments with a keen eye for detail, resulting in truly beautiful and couple-specific photographs. What we appreciated most was their focus on body positivity - they made both my husband and I feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is reflected in the stunning, natural-looking images with retouches where we might not have photographed perfectly but had genuine reactions. Ashlee isn’t the least expensive but the quality photos and detail provided was unmatched, and we are thrilled with the final product. We highly recommend ap FILM & PHOTO to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I have many passions, and photography is one at the top. It’s something I’ve loved since a kid and continue today with excitement every time I do a shoot. One of my biggest strengths is creativity which I incorporate into all my photos and shoots. So your photos are not just ordinary shots, they are a creation and stand out from the crowd. Photos are timeless and provide very vivid memories that will never happen again. You'll want these memories for all your children and generations to come. Your memories and photos are priceless and never can be replaced. So this is the time and the moment to capture all you can.

Welcome to Gracefully Rooted Homestead, LLC, where your most cherished milestones are preserved with artistry, intention, and a calm, easygoing spirit. We are a premier wedding and lifestyle photography studio dedicated to capturing authentic, timeless moments that tell the true story of your love. Our core philosophy is simple: we believe that the best photographs are born when you feel completely relaxed, confident, and fully present in the moment.

I’m writing this to recommend my fiancée, who I’ve had the privilege of working alongside as her second shooter in photography. Being behind the scenes with her has given me a real appreciation for the level of dedication, patience, and creativity she brings to every single shoot. She doesn’t just “show up and take pictures”—she prepares, plans, and pours herself into capturing moments that matter to people. I’ve seen firsthand how much thought she puts into every detail, from composition to timing to making sure she never misses something meaningful. As her second shooter, I’ve watched her work under pressure, adapt quickly, and still stay focused on delivering high-quality results. Even in chaotic or fast-paced situations, she stays calm, professional, and intentional. She has a strong work ethic that goes far beyond what most people see on the final gallery. What stands out most to me, though, is how much she genuinely cares. She cares about the clients, their memories, and making sure they feel seen and valued. She also cares deeply about the quality of her work and is constantly pushing herself to improve. Seeing her work up close has made it clear to me that she is not only talented but also deeply committed to her craft. I’m proud of the work she does and confident in recommending her to anyone looking for someone reliable, creative, and hardworking.

  • Photojournalistic style

We sincerely believe in having a good connection with you. When you book with us, you are more than clients, you quickly become part of our company, our friends. You may be wondering, who the heck we are. We are wildly in love and a little weird (aren’t we all?). We love a good adventure (backpacking, kayaking, city hoppin’, you name it), and while we know things don’t always go according to plan, we know we are guaranteed an entertaining story outta it (just ask Bill, he LOVES to share stories of our perfectly imperfect travels).

We had the best experience working with Erin from Thomas Co Photography. From our first conversation, she was clear and friendly about everything, making the whole process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, Erin did more than just take pictures—she helped us slow down and actually enjoy the quiet moments we might have missed otherwise. Her eye for detail really shines through in our photos, which capture such genuine emotion and feel so natural. It's obvious she truly cares about her clients and their stories. We're so grateful to have found her and can't recommend Erin highly enough!

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Grace is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could.
