  • Serves Mitchellville, IA

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
Truly could not say enough great things about Haverlee and her immense talent! From our first inquiry email to delivering our final wedding gallery (early I should add), she was so kind, supportive and on the ball. Outside of capturing amazing moments during our engagement session and wedding day, one of the things we really appreciated was her willingness to help create our day of timeline. As a DIY bride, having someone who has done this countless times help us plan every minute of our day helped so so much and put our minds at ease. And let me tell you, day of, you won’t find someone else more prepared than Haverlee. She was there to help with make-up issues, fly away hairs, dress bustling, and even hand picking leaves and bugs out of the skirt of my dress to make sure our photos were perfect. Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience, highly recommend entrusting Haverlee to work her magic to allow you to remember the day perfectly thru her lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ DAS is one of our very favorite DJS. As a Venue Owner it is very important that the DJ our Booked Couples hire make their guests enjoy the evening. After 50 wedding+ we know that all DJS are not created equal. When we view our Booked Couples Wedding Planner they submit to us a few weeks before the wedding there are 2 places we quickly glance at to determine it is going to be a good event. The first is the caterer and the second is the DJ. If their DJ spot says "DJ DAS" then we know its going to be a good wedding reception. Because when DJ DAS is in the house everyone is happy!

Connor was so incredibly helpful in all of our check-in calls leading up to the big day, and then when the day of came around, they could not have been more efficient, helpful, and just overall amazing.

We could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over.

The quality of their work was exceptional—every detail was considered and executed with precision, which made a real difference in how our day unfolded.

Prices are competitive with other local vendors, but Des Moines Party Rentals offers the best deal for weekend rentals by only charging one day for Friday pick-up with a Monday return. I'm so glad I found Des Moines Event Rentals to help make our special day a success!

Welcome to Lavender Blue Floral where we create floral artistry from the heart. I am Lynda, and I am not just a florist, I am a storyteller. I believe that flowers have the power to express the deepest emotion and tell the most meaningful stories. Whether it is a wedding, a birth, or a farewell, flowers can capture the essence of the moment and make it last forever. Having worked as a nurse in emergency medicine in my past, I felt the emotions that life will bring with every chapter that we experience. I was there for all of it, whether joy-filled or tragic.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lynda is absolutely amazing. I have never considered myself a "flower person." The florals for my wedding were so far down my list. BUT what Lavender Blue Floral delivered with my very little direction was AMAZING. I actually teared up when seeing our bouquets. As I've gotten to know her through other opportunities, Lynda's genuine love and passion for her work still brings me to tears. She LOVES what she does and what she gets to create for people. I cannot recommend her enough - not only for wedding florals, but for any occasion or event. In fact, she made floral crowns for me and my daughter for our newborn photo shoot. She suggested using fake florals for the pieces so they would be lighter, which was a great call and didn't sacrifice an ounce of beauty. They are both still hanging in my daughter's room and my daughter wore hers again for her 1st birthday pictures. I plan on reusing them for many years to come.

I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Colby photographed a wedding I was in in 2017 and I knew he’d photograph my wedding. This was before I’d even met my now-husband. That’s how good he is. Colby is phenomenal. We originally planned on a full wedding, but pivoted to an elopement and Colby was on board for the new plan. My now husband and I are not the photogenic type - you can’t tell due to Colby’s immense skill. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed and clearly knows his stuff. He got so many beautiful photos of our backyard elopement and downtown lunch afterward. We could not be more pleased with his work.

We had an intimate ceremony and a small reception at a garden. Photos were very important for us, and Corah delivered more than we asked for! Corah made it so effortless for us, right from our first meeting where she carefully explained the process to us, our engagement shoot which she made so fun, to our wedding day shoot where she captured all our moments so thoughtfully! Our pictures reflect exactly who we are as a couple. They were romantic, elegant and a little quirky. She has amazing ideas on how to make you look good in the photos while keeping true to who you are! Our family (especially mine back in India) were raving about all our photos too. I didn’t even know she was capturing some of the moments that she did on our wedding , and I couldn’t be any more thankful! Be well-prepared to gain a friend and for those happy tears if you hire Corah!

I’m Laura Nichole! Welcome to my little nook of the web. From local Iowa venues to crossing state lines and flying over country boarders, I have had the blessing of capturing timeless moments of the most amazing humans you could ever meet! Can I be your biggest fan?? I want to capture your favorite memories, the highs, the lows, and everything in between, so that when you look at your images you can remember exactly how you felt in those moments. I want you to see just how captivating and special you truly are.

Laura was one of the best choices that we made in our wedding planning journey. She was an absolute joy to work with during the wedding planning process, our engagement session, and our recent wedding. Her passion for what she does is so evident as she is so joyful whilst capturing these precious moments in our life. Leading up to the wedding she helped us put together a schedule for our day which was tremendously helpful. On the day of the wedding, she was with us always taking candid and posed photos, but went above and beyond to help our day run smoothly! One specific example of this was her willingness to be on the ground scrubbing my dress with a tide to go stick moments before the ceremony after outdoor photos added some stains to my dress. She made us and everyone in our bridal party feel so comfortable during the photo sessions. During the dancing portion of our reception she found a few minutes to quickly edit some sneak peeks for us to show before she left and they were so incredible. We are so looking forward to seeing the full gallery. We truly can’t recommend Laura enough!!

Let’s make magic together.

When we were planning our wedding, searching for a photographer took us a long time because we didn’t just want to pick anyone. My husband finally came across Kayla and we instantly fell in love with her style. Me and Kayla had a FaceTime call to chat and get to know each other and I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer aside from how good her photos were! She is so professional, friendly, funny and super personable. She not only is our photographer for life but I can also say she has become one of my very good friends! I highly highly recommend her! Her photos are beautiful and she makes you feel so special on your big day! She goes above and beyond on your day to help you with your dress and just make sure everything runs smooth! You won’t regret it! Book a session!!!
