Our lead photographer has over 30 years of experience behind the lens and makes certain that every member of the team achieves the highest level of competence in posing couples or individuals, taking and composing the photographs, using light to the best advantage and making sure that our clients are relaxed and as comfortable as they can be doing the shoot.

I loved how my photographer made me feel like I was a queen on my wedding day. The editing was not overly saturated and looked great. Highly recommend!

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Emerson, IA

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With nearly a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 100 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 are beyond grateful to have had Haverlee as our wedding photographer. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful, and her warm, encouraging demeanor managed to make two somewhat awkward people actually feel comfortable in front of the camera! On the big day, Haverlee was so much more than just our photographer. She was a calming presence, a problem-solver (she even helped put pins in my hair!), and a true support system. Her expertise, organized timeline, and guidance made the day run smoothly! And then there's her work - absolutely stunning. She has such a gift for capturing real emotion—both the big moments and the quiet in-between ones. When we look at our photos, we’re transported right back to that day, and we can feel the pure joy all over again. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shines through in her work. We’ll treasure our photos forever and feel so lucky to have had her as part of our day. We highly recommend Haverlee to capture your special moments, too!

Awarded Best of Zola
James and Paige are AMAZING! They photographed our engagement and wedding. My husband and I are both camera shy and had never done couples photos before. During our engagement shoot, James was attuned to our comfort level. He essentially posed us the entire shoot. He and Paige are personable with their clients, asking questions and making conversation throughout the shoots. It makes a huge difference when you feel connected with the people on the other side of the lens. During our wedding, James was highly professional in sticking to the timeline. He helped ease everyone's nerves with a great attitude and confidence in his work. The pricing especially for the wedding packages is incredible. You will be in good hands if you hire Lathrop Wedding Company to capture your memories.

I love working with couples and getting to know you better! My hope is to get to your wedding day and feel like we’re old friends (like, I'd make the cut and be invited to your wedding if I wasn't your photographer!). I'm definitely a people person, so if we end up working together, be prepared... I will chat your ear off! I'm not into super stiff, micromanaged posing, I'm much more laid back than that and think we get much better energy in photos when we can have fun together and you can be yourself!

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, Cindy was a joy to work with and made sure we were well prepared to capture the emotions and candid moments of our big day. For such a small, intimate wedding, Cindy melted into the moment without drawing attention to herself. It all paid off greatly with several guests saying unprompted how well she captured the emotional essence of each part of the wedding. Krista and I love looking at the whole set and have had lots of great photos to assemble into our wedding album.

I’ll probably become your personal hype girl and maybe your honorary bridesmaid by the end of the night. Let’s make art from your love story—it deserves nothing less.

We had an amazing time with Kinsey and Matt as our photography team and all of our photos came out amazing. You won’t regret having them as your photo team.
