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.

Ashlee was the absolute best photographer we could have asked for. She not only captured our engagement photos but also our rehearsal dinner and wedding! All of our photos are an absolute dream and we’re obsessed with them all- we’re running out of space in the house to display them all! She was so wonderful to work with and delivers tenfold what you could ever ask for. We will absolutely be using her for any photography needs from now until forever!

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.

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!

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.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

He had great ideas for poses and was very mindful to get all the pictures we wanted with family members and bridal party. And even better than all of this, when we got the pictures, they came out amazing!! It’s very clear that he put a lot of hard work into making them look incredible.

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
From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.
