Liv Frueh Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Melbourne, IA

Hello my name is Olivia Frueh. I am a formally educated photographer who loves to capture your memorable milestones! I have found a love for my light and airy look that provides a more natural tone to my images.

If we could rate Liv 100/5 we would!! We were so happy with the photos Liv took for our engagement shoot & on our wedding day. Neither ourselves or many of those in our wedding are very comfortable in front of the camera, but Liv's outgoing and bubbly personality, professionalism, and pure skill calmed everyone & made the photos come out STUNNING! We appreciate how Liv was able to navigate some of the stressful moments on our day and swiftly pivot when the weather/lighting wasn't coordinating. In a friendly manner, she was effectively able to round up guests, family, and the bridal party for photos to keep our timeline running smoothly. Prior to the wedding, Liv was very communicative with us and worked with us to understand timelines, vendors, family dynamics and more! She went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make us feel comforted. All of our family and guests were very impressed with her work. I loved her style of photos they were very bright, natural, and clean. We will simply be insisting all of our friends to use her as their photographer in the future!

Choosing Katie was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding. Two of my family members had already worked with her, so we knew we were in good hands, but she still exceeded every expectation. Her communication was always timely, she was incredibly easy to work with, and every second shooter she partners with is just as wonderful and professional. She made such an important part of our day feel effortless. I would book her again and again without hesitation. And, just in our previews we already know we have beautiful pictures to always remember the day.

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jason for our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he made us feel like we were old friends — warm, genuine, and so easy to be around. On our big day, he kept everything on track without ever making it feel rushed or stressful — especially during our family photos, which he handled like a pro. He captured so many beautiful moments, including ones we never even thought to ask for. His eye for detail and ability to be everywhere without being intrusive was amazing. Our parents were genuinely impressed by his professionalism and kindness — he made such a great impression on them, too. The final gallery was delivered SO quickly (a month!) and absolutely blew us away. Every photo feels full of life, emotion, and care. We’ve definitely found our photographer — not just for this wedding, but for every milestone ahead. We can’t recommend Jason Thomas Crocker Photography highly enough!

I randomly entered Anderson’s giveaway for a free engagement shoot and was shocked when I actually won! At first, I was skeptical, but Anderson followed up and patiently answered all my (many!) questions. From the start, he felt more like a friend than a photographer. He helped us pick the perfect location and outfits, and when we had to reschedule due to an emergency, he made sure we still got our shoot—never once making us feel like “just another client.” On the day of the shoot, Anderson took the time to get to know us as a couple, and the whole session felt fun, natural, and full of love. He kept us moving, laughing, and feeling like ourselves. The preview video and final photos were absolutely stunning—we were in tears. Our friends and family were too. We’re not wedding planning yet, but when we are, Anderson will be our first call. Highly recommend—he’s the real deal.

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.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first consultation, it was clear that The Narrative Weddings (Photo Video) were the perfect fit to capture our perfect day. Their relaxed, efficient, and professional communication style put us at ease, and their work was truly dreamy and exactly what we wanted. The Narrative wasn't just another vendor - they were seamlessly woven in like old friends with cameras, capturing every moment from getting ready, to the first look, to the lively reception. We would book The Narrative 1000 times over if we could, as they understood exactly what we were looking for and delivered perfection in their photos.
