Foxtail Films 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Chariton, IA

A unique photography and videography duo that just want to capture your best day ever. Based out of Iowa, Foxtail Films isn't afraid to travel! We have experience from California to Florida and just about everything in between.

From the moment my husband and I got engaged, we knew we wanted to work with Val and Kevin. At the time, we were living in Arizona, so I called Val to ask if she’d be willing to travel there to capture our engagement photos. Without hesitation, she said yes—and she made it happen! Leading up to our wedding day, Val was incredibly easy to communicate with. She even reached out to our DJ to coordinate timelines, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. On the wedding day, Val and Kevin made everything run smoothly and efficiently, ensuring we got the perfect photos and video. We couldn’t be happier with how all of our engagement and wedding photos turned out. Our wedding video completely blew us away—it beautifully captured every moment from the start of the day through the reception. Being able to relive our day whenever we want brings back so many emotions and truly makes us feel like we’re there all over again. I’ve cried happy tears every time I’ve watched it. We can’t thank Val and Kevin enough for their amazing work in capturing our most special moments. We will cherish their work forever. We would highly recommend booking them for your big day too!

Our wedding felt like it went by in five minutes, I swear. I was worried I’d forget so much, but the photos and video bring it all back every time I look at them. They captured moments I didn’t even notice were happening. My husband laughing with his friends, my mom tearing up, the flower girl dancing like crazy. The pictures are gorgeous but what really got me was the video. The way they pieced it together with the music was just unreal. It felt like watching a movie but it was OUR movie. I couldn’t believe how natural we all looked, nothing staged or fake. Even the shots of us walking around outside look like something from a magazine. This is honestly the best gift we’ll ever have from our wedding.

From quiet, intimate glances to joyful, unscripted laughter, we focus on the moments you’ll feel just as much years from now.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

While I was getting ready(we are running about 30 minutes late) she was out taking photos of the venue, the lay flat photos, and the other details pictures. She even held onto our rings for me because the bridal suite was a wreck and I didn’t wanna lose them. All in all my experience with her was a 12/10 experience.

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly cannot say enough good things about Haverlee. From the very beginning, she was so friendly and incredibly easy to work with, which made the entire day feel effortless. Of course, her photos are stunning, but what stood out most was how naturally she captured everything. Nothing ever felt too posed or forced. Every photo feels genuine and true to who we are. I mean this is the absolute best way possible, but there were so many moments where we honestly forgot she was even there, especially during our bride and groom portraits. She never felt in-your-face, but successfully captured every detail and emotion so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, blends seamlessly into your day, and delivers breathtaking, authentic photos, Haverlee is truly the best.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

Marissa was amazing every step of the way. She helped to narrow down an elopement location base off of our wants. She also came up with a detailed schedule for the whole time spent with her, and options to choose from base off the location we picked! Due to weather, I had a freak out a couple days before the elopement. When I emailed her about my concerns, she responded within 15 minutes reassuring me she was making a back up plan and emailed a new detailed schedule with options within a few hours! And the pictures?! Phenomenal! Everything I could have hoped for!

King is an absolute dream to work with for our engagement photo session!, King, gave us the freedom to just be ourselves and have fun, telling us to grab a bottle of champagne and find a classic car and head to the suburbs of Kansas City. He captured so many beautiful, natural moments between my fiancé and I that we'll cherish forever. King's unscripted approach allowed our personalities to shine through in the photos, and the final images turned out stunning. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend King for any couple looking for an effortless, joy-filled photo session. As you can tell I look beautiful in photos.
