Howdy! I am Olivia Erenberger (pronounced Aaron Burger, like the hamburger) your fun and quirky and boho, Jesus loving, Texas country obsessed photographer based out of Tampa, Florida and Solon, Iowa. While wedding photography is my main squeeze, I fill the rest of my time with capturing life's best moments including family photography, high school senior photography, Maternity photography, Rodeo event Photography, and other portraits around Florida and Iowa.

Olivia was so easy to work with. She came prepared to help organize a wild bridal party, and everyone loved her! She stayed through most of the reception to capture precious moments, which was few hours past what we expected! No demand for more pay she just works that hard for her couples! The pictures turned out amazing!

Elinor Jane Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Grinnell, IA

For the longest time, I wondered what made a great photographer? Is it an expensive camera and equipment, or maybe the extensive education and fancy extra letter in your degree? The answer became clear to me that everyone can take a photo, but not just anyone can capture a moment. While those things help make up a photographer what is consistently remembered is how you tell a story through an image.

So many compliments from my guests about not only the photography itself but, also about our photographer!! Elinor was fantastic and helped me stay calm and focused throughout the hectic day that it was!!

  • Serves Grinnell, IA

During my time at The University of Iowa, I immersed myself in the world of art, majoring in Studio Art. My coursework encompassed a wide range of disciplines, including art history, photography, design, painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and metalworking. While I loved exploring these various mediums, I found myself torn between them, unable to decide on a single career path. One night, a brilliant idea struck me: I didn't have to choose. This realization sparked the creation of Kayza & Vine Creative Co., a photography studio that allows me to combine my passion for art with my love of capturing moments and stories through the lens.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Grinnell, IA

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
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His 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. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Vogue-published and based in NYC, I create cinematic, editorial imagery that feels more like legacy than coverage. I work with only a rare few each year—couples who seek something deeper than documentation. From candlelit villas in Italy to black-tie weekends in New York, every story is crafted with style and soul. Signature collections begin at $8K, with most couples investing $10K–$20K. Multi-day destination weekends with full creative direction can reach $50K+, depending on travel and scope.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

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!
